rug shopping

My birthday is coming up and the only gift I really want is a new rug for our bedroom. My husband thinks that this is very strange but I always prefer to receive gifts for our home rather than clothing or jewelry. I've been browsing Kijiji, Craigslist, eBay and Etsy for months hoping that I'll come across a well-priced Kilim, Navajo or Afghan rug. I want warm bright colours and a lot of texture. So far, no such luck. I've got my eye on a few rugs on eBay but they're a bit too pricey for us at the moment. Where do you shop for rugs online?

Es-tu abonnée aux listes d'envoi des responsables de ventes de succession? Genre Ronda Bly? Ils annoncent les ventes de succession par mailing list, souvent pour la fin de semaine suivante. Souvent à Westmount, Côte-St-Luc, etc... Mid-century stuff, antiques, rugs... Sometimes! We found our huge rug there, and you can always deal the prices. But it can be stressful to beat the crowds of pickers and antique dealers!

Je vais souvent chez winners, home sense. C,est incroyable l'arrivage continue de tapis à des prix incroyables. On peut vraiment trouver de tout et si on constate une fois à la maison qu'il ne convient pas, on le rapporte sans problème. Je suis du même avis que toi pour les cadeaux d'anniversaire!!!! Bonne journée!!!

Too bad this wasn't June last year....the rug store on Parc was closing their doors and everything in store was 50% off!! I spent 500$ and got 4 rugs! I wish I knew of another!
I'm the same way and for Christmas got a king size bed and last Christmas got an aqua ovo water filter! Good luck hunting!

Au boxing day, j'ai commandé un tapis sur Tapis Select Canada, ils ont beaucoup de choix. Toutefois, je ne sais pas si c'est que tu cherches.

Bonne recherche!
