old rug

ok i found a couple of pictures of the braided rug in the living room.. doesn't the new one look nicer?

new rug

i have been wanting to get a new rug for the living room, almost since we moved last year. (i can't believe it's been a year already) i love the braided rug, but thought the room would look nicer with something different. i put the braided rug in the bedroom. it looks lovely there.

so this is the new rug, i got it from overstock.com. saved a bundle and i think it is very very nice. i was going to put in a picture of the room with the braided rug, but it seems i haven't got one. must have deleted it.

what do you think?? pretty??
