it's hard to get a good photo because it's a little cramped with stairs to the left and front door to the right. but this is it. dark blue chest with pink glass knobs and gallery wall of photos. camel walls. this is my current rug in the foyer. heed my advice: never put a light colored rug in a foyer in the pacific northwest and expect it to look nice, especially after a rainy new year's eve when you hosted 20 people and their 40 wet shoes. my rug has seen better days. it's time to replace it.i've been searching high and low. my latest search brought me to overstock.com. i have to admit.... i've never bought from them. other bloggers have. in fact, camilla just posted this that she bought from overstock and is repainting it. so i'm off to search their rugs for the perfect one for my foyer. here's a few of my choices, all found here.
i love this traditional one. but are the colors too muted for not showing dirt?
this geometric pattern wouldn't show dirt.
i love love love the persian. your thoughts?
or should i just play it totally safe and go for seagrass or a licorice hemp? and never have to worry about dirt showing again?

Thanks for the codes. I like the Persian!
I've bought lots from them, and have been happy every time except once. I like the second (daisy/geometric) rug the best!
That was too hard to choose. I like the Persian best for the combination of style/dirt-hiding/color. But the traditional one is beautiful (so very PB, I can't help it!!) and that geometric one just makes me smile. Good luck in your choice--I'll be awaiting your pics!
The geometric could be fun, just depends on the overall style of your house. Love your gallery wall....I've been trying some lately. They're fun and a great way to use some art that's been tucked away.
Depending on the rest of your house and decor, I really love the persian rug. I have a large one in my family room and it is the most forgiving rug I've ever had. It shows nothing, ever! I paint on the rug (bad Lindsay) & do craft projects then with a quick vacuum its all celan again. I think its perfect for a high traffic area :)
