Dining Room Rug(s)

I have had rugs on the brain of late. Mostly because my house is filling with furniture and I really don't want to buy any more projects, er pieces of furniture. Plus, I want to protect our lovely hardwood.

I'm still working on finding the perfect rug for, well, practically every room, but I think I may have found a couple of options for the dining room.

I've been looking for something with a low pile (the dining room gets a lot of traffic and I don't want it to be instantly worn and dirty looking), something that has some black and a little grey (so that my dining and living chairs can be better friends), and something that is 8'x10'. Oh, and something cheap. Because that's what I am. I thought my search was over when I spotted Ikea's Alvine Rand, and then I realized it's only 5'7"x7'10". Boo. It would have been absolutely perfect.

Currently in second place, Ikea's Stockholm Rand. It's a bit more graphic (and expensive) than I want, but it is the perfect size.

 Although West Elm's Olin rug is the same size and $100 cheaper.....AND, they ship.

Decisions, decisions. Notice the Instagram influence creeping in already?
