Pulling the rug out

I’m sorry to kick off Valentine’s Day with news of a failed relationship—especially a new one like this that held such beautiful promise—but the side rugs I bought for my bedroom just aren’t working out with the giant Oriental rug I already have. I thought the minimalist pattern of the side rugs would create charming opposites-attract interest, but the reds just aren’t compatible. They’re not even trying, in fact, and they fight so much that they can’t even be in the same room. So the side rugs are moving out before they’ve even really moved in.

The rugs have agreed to do everything they can to keep this from being awkward or upsetting for everyone. Please try to respect our privacy as we work through this difficult time.
