01 Oct Even the Dog is Sick of No Rug

So it appears I need a 6×9 rug….Not a 5×8 which looks tiny, nor an 8×10 which is huge. I don’t have a choice with the room layout. This SUCKS and I will tell you why….after searching every one of my favorite stores and websites, apparently I was never paying attention to this fact:
There are Machine Made Rugs and Hand Made Rugs (hand woven, hand knotted, etc.) Obviously anything made with some patient little person’s hands is a hell of a lot more expensive. But many times those are the ones that come in strange sizes..7.6 x 6.3, etc. Machines at this point are typically set to 5×8 and 8×10. I had absolutely no problem in West Elm, HomeGoods, Pottery Barn, Arhaus, you name it finding rugs I liked, but the size is never 6×9. Having a remnant cut and bound may be an option but that is also luck of the draw with what you find.
The search continues…Anyone have their favorite rug spots?
