We arrived in Salem with enough stuff to fill our small house, except for maybe an old couch. We’ve acquired little things here and there to make this Salem cottage a home, but have been waiting for that extra special living room carpet to seal the deal.
Perhaps because it was the last thing we really needed — and I say need because I don’t want any babies crawling around on hardwoods exclusively — we put off the purchase. We looked around, we saw some really ugly, grandma’s attic carpets, we scoffed and turned away and put it off for another day.
And then we went to Tuesday Morning a few weeks ago and happened upon this strange carpet. I both love and hate the thing. It’s a little Christmas-y for my taste, but I found myself drawn to its hexagonal patterns and color palette, which seemed so much Midwest meets Pacific Northwest.
So we got it. And have been living with it for almost a month.
And that’s when it struck us. We didn’t buy a carpet, we actually bought a Settler’s game board in carpet form.
I’ll trade two wheat for three brick!
I’d hold out on settling the rug until you know the value of each hex.
I wonder if it would be possible to play Settlers with this rug. If so, I’ll get to cutting out the number values.
Ha! Too funny! I bet the baby will be entertained by it, I thought the rug was beautiful! I love all the rich colors and the pattern is great too.
Hope it’s growing on you… not really but…
