Thanks, Remy, I did look on etsy--I misspoke above saying I got that cardinal from etsy; it was actually Amazon I got it from--and first time I looked didn't see any small enough but I looked again just now and think I've found one that's better, thanks for encouraging me to try etsy again. I guess it's hard to make something that small (1 to 2 inches) look realistic.
I think most of these ideas are for hardwood floors/- I have wall-to-wall carpeting under my rug. But thanks
The strategically placed mop in the first pic adds that artistic je ne sais quoi.
I agree Nemo2 ... the mop speaks to me. It seems to be saying, "I recently mopped this hallway floor, n' thought it would be fun to photo-bomb their otherwise perfect pic! Hee hee hee!"The strategically placed mop in the first pic adds that artistic je ne sais quoi.
I have a carpeted room in the basement with a large throw rug over it. It constantly has ripples or bumps and that room is hardly ever entered. I don't think there's a realistic way to solve that issue, especially with the size of rug that you have. Sorry, no help here.
Well, @SeaBreeze et al I have a gentleman coming to clean the area rug tomorrow. Maybe if we can get the places that consistently wrinkle/ripple flattened out, we can start from scratch… or not. Glad to know I’m not the only one with this problem
Good luck! I think I used the double sided rug tape mentioned in Holly's link years ago, to no avail.....did not work, got rid of it. Also, my area rug is a bit thicker than yours, didn't matter.
I tried the rug tape and other double-sided tapes
Oh yes, the fireplace festive decorations. The ones that have taken decades to, mostly make, but some are bought, like the farting reindeer.The fireplace Festive decorations in the TV room...
Don't know......yet
I used to have this problem, putting an area rug over wall to wall carpeting. I could not fix it, tried so many things. When I had to replace the wall to wall carpet, I went with manufactured wood flooring. Could not afford true wood flooring. I love this stuff but it is twice the work, I have to vacuum then mop the floor with a cleaner to get that shine. I only put wall to wall in 3 of the bedrooms, the fourth, the big master I put in the manufactured wood. I like the so called wood fake flooring but have decided if I ever have to replace it to go with the laminate that looks like wood and use area rugs.
