I'm very tempted to get matching ones for those two locations, since they're part of the same space (which is otherwise painted and decorated as one unified space).<br /><br />As I say that, however, the millwork transitions from stained downstairs to painted upstairs (originally built that way, not painted over). So, even the original designers didn't intend it to be a perfectly consistent space throughout. How easy it is to obsess over minutia...Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333322563342346926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688737200861236433.post-87670649287489487842018-02-09T09:42:01.826-08:002018-02-09T09:42:01.826-08:00Yeah, I totally admit the matchy matchy problem is...Yeah, I totally admit the matchy matchy problem is mine.

We currently have a mix of some cheap tufted (but wool) that we bought when we really needed some and some quality hand-woven wool rugs we have come across at practically giveaway bargains. I'd prefer to have all quality woven rugs, but it's not in the budget now, nor are we sure on what style we want anyway.<br /><br />If it's any consolation, most historic rugs were not used as matched sets anyway. Traditional hand woven rugs were unique anyway, and people bought them individually. So, various rugs in the same general style are perfectly normal. I think yours look good. I quite like the blue one.Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333322563342346926noreply@blogger.com
