It was time to get rid of the rug in the living room, and it was past cleaning.
Let's just say the dog helped us out.....
At first I was worried because I really don't have the cash right now to replace it with something I really liked.
But now that's its out, I actually really like it! It makes the room look open, a bit larger and actually is much cleaner.
Maybe the dog did us a favor after all....

I love your living room! I hadn't seen the before picture with the rug but I think it's perfect just as you have it in this picture:)

Love it. It does look very open and also very cool. I just removed a rug also. Sometimes it's best not to have one. Looks wonderful. Hugs, marty

ReplyDeleteIf my old girl (Kes) didn't need the rugs to help her get up on the hard floors, I wouldn't have a rug in the place (especially here in FL!).
I think your room looks great! Thanks for sharing...and kudos to the doG.

I love the way it looks and think it is just right especially for the summer months! You can always get an area rug to warm it up a little in the cooler weather. Your room is lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally understand! We have 4 dogs but have wood floors..cleanup is a snap!
ReplyDeleteLove your floors and everything looks so beautiful!!

Looks great without the rug and I did the same thing with my dining room rug after the dog messed on it.
ReplyDeleteI love the open look. Seems to open everything up.

I think it looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, girl, when we took out our rug, we left it. Makes the room look somewhat larger and maybe more summery...
ReplyDeleteLove every detail of your room!

I think it looks great without it.I love the wood floors and open/clean feel they give off~Cheers Kim
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks for your comment!
ReplyDeleteYour Living Room is beautiful! I really like the hardwood.
The hardwood floors look fantastic. Yes, I think the dog did you a favor. Very open and airy. Beautiful room.
ReplyDeleteI love it for summer,then winter you can find something you love. Dianntha
ReplyDeletei'm often torn about the rug thing too. it always feels cleaner without one so i tend to put them away in summer and drag them out when it gets cooler.
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting!

It looks beautiful. I'm so ready to toss out the area rugs but our hardwood floors are not in great shape. Doggone-it, I guess I'll have to live with the rugs for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI just got rid of the big rug in our living room, too. I think I like the floor bare in the summer. I may move our rug back for the winter.
ReplyDeleteYour living room looks fab without it!
Yep, your right- your dog knows best -ALWAYS ! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteOur lab puppy did us a favour too. She chewed the wool right off in sections on our area rug. We only had the one, so both our living room and family room are bare wood floors. Easier to keep clean I guess, now that we have all the dog hair too!
ReplyDeleteI love how the living room looks without a rug. I also have only hardwood floors and I don't put throw rugs down. It is so much easier to keep it all clean! So much better for allergies, too.

Love the bare floor look,esp. in the hot summer...I say leave it as it is!!! Hope you are keeping well! x0
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, Your floors are beautiful and I really like the room without a rug. Your living room is gorgous.
ReplyDeletexo,
Sherry
Your room looks wonderful and its probably a nice change for summer!
ReplyDeleteI love your room just like it is. I know what you mean about rugs, I have a long love hate relationship with my living room floor. Dogs do help us decide and I always now go with no rug, just because it is to much work keeping them clean.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, thanks for stopping by I will be back. Kathy
Your home looks stunning! Had some fun catching up today! Your daughter's room is too cute! And though it does not have too much "old" stuff, it still has a homemade, creative flair that reflects you!
ReplyDeleteour little yorkie ruined our rug, too, to we took it out and we actually LOVE the hardwoods underneath....not gonna replace it for a while even though he is potty trained now. :)
ReplyDeleteyour room looks fab without the rug, too!
