Yep, good idea keeping it mostly an adult room rug. Just bought a $25 slate gray bean bag from Target for my little monkeys to climb and roll around with. I wanted a pouf SO bad, but cannot justify spending close to $100 on it… (both in diapers still). My pouf dreams will just have to wait.

Hey Sam!

That art is from one of our good friends Aaron Anderson (Hardland Heartland) It’s our family crest. He gave it to us for Christmas one year. I should’ve mentioned that in the post, thanks for asking.

I like the shaggy rug, especially the way it feels on my feet. The kids are in our room a lot and it’s hasn’t been too bad to clean so far. We’ve only had it since December so in another few months I could tell you for sure if it was a good idea or not. Honestly, I worry about our crazy cats puking on it more than I worry about the kids. The vacuum does like to suck it up, but we’ve survived.

I got it at Ikea, it was like $179 or something. So far so good. I think once your kids chill you’ll be totally fine with getting one.

Thanks Roonz!

It’d be easy to add the black paint, not so sure about the porch ;)
