As mentioned in my List-O-Mania post, one “to-do” item is to have my piano moved from my parent’s house to our house.
the piano will go here, up against the stairs in our family room
But before we can do that, we need a rug to go underneath it.
I was originally planning to bind a leftover swatch of our carpeting. I figured this would do a good enough job. And it would be free. (well sort of; the carpet would be free but we’d still have to pay to have it bound). But the more I thought about it, the more I doubted that a carpet swatch was the way to go. Our carpeting is kind of a non-descript oatmeal-y color (as you can see above on the stairs). Perfectly neutral for the rest of our home, but maybe the piano deserves more pizzazz.
But now I was stumped. What type of rug should I look for? What would go best with the room? How could we add a little pop of color or pattern without overwhelming the rest of the room?
Until one day, when I found this beauty in a Land of Nod catalogue!
It’s the perfect size (4′ x 6′).
It’s woven.
It’s purple.
… and the kicker…
It’s reversible!
And it’s on it’s way to our house now! FedEx – please get my little lavender beauty here safe and sound!
