3 Houston, We have RUGS!

So I've been searching for a rug I really like, and can afford, for a very long time.  Last week I purchased three! I'm so excited!

The Zig Zag Printed rugs from Urban Outfitters won't be the best quality, but they were too good to pass up.  And actually I had that same type of rug from Urban in my last apartment, I used it as a door mat and it actually held up quite well.  One will most likely end up in my future bedroom...

I have had my eye on Dwell Studio rugs for a while, but they are always sold out.  When I got the notice that the Facet rug in cream and citrine was back in stock, I pounced.  I adore the pattern, and anticipate that this one will be good quality.  This one will live in my future living room...YAY!

Now.  Back to that sofa search.

1 Further Proof

That my next apartment will need two sofas. I'm officially obsessed with this idea if you can't tell.

You know, the closer I get to moving out and really NEEDING to buy furniture, the more indecisive I get.  A rug is one thing. I need a couch.  Who wants to pick one for me?
