Ha, our pets are the same way! When the cats have to puke they find the nearest rug and go to town.

I really like the idea of getting a dark kilim rug too, I’ve never had one before but I totally love the patterns and shapes. Especially a light pattern on a dark background like the one I featured in the post. I’m for sure going to do some more searching before I make a final decision.

Something to consider, I do have cheapo rug pads under the rug right now, but it doesn’t seem to help, obviously. I also think it’s more a matter of the rug stretching with the furniture, not just slipping on the floor, if that makes sense.

Thanks for all your feedback :)

Oh no! Really? Ha, I am the same way, I show my husband the rug every chance I get too. This is good information to know!, there’s a West Elm not to far from our house and I should head over there sometime and look at it in person. There never seems to be a good time to get there with the kiddos around.

I need to know, what did you get instead? I’m super curious.

Also I wonder if this one would be any better from Rugs USA

Thanks Abby! We will see, I really want to learn more about #1, my hope is that there is a review out there, or a blog post somewhere that tells me that the rug is invincible and kids can’t hurt it :)

Yeah, I don’t know about that. The other thing about it, is that in person the white is more of a cream color and I don’t know how I feel about that either. I do really like it a lot when I see it others homes. Someday I’d like to have one somewhere in our house.

I’ve had a few Ikea rugs and they have only ever hold up about 2 years before they start looking old. I bet that’s probably true for this one too, but I can’t say for sure.
