Kim is looking for some info: Could you please help me find this area rug? It appears on AT's House Tour: Karl's Mid Century Minneapolis Retreat. Karl stated that he purchased the rug at Home Depot...

Unfortunately, that rug is no longer at Home Depot. I used to work there a few years ago, and I was eyeing this rug, as well. I think it was around 2003 when I saw it. I can not remember who makes it, but I do remember the fiber content being 100% Olefin and coming in 3 differnet sizes. Sorry, I could not be much more help.

Look at RugsDirect.com I purchased a rug through them when Home Depot did not carry the one I wanted anymore. Good luck!

I bought the same rug in green and smaller at Kmart in 2003...not sure if Kmart would still have it, but you could check online.

I have this rug from Home Depot. Let me warn you it is not made of natural fibers and does not wear well. I purchased in 2004, and now it's matted, ugly and relegated to the basement.

OMG that arrow is awesome. What is it? does it light up? Where on earth is it from?

I bought mine in 2004 and threw it out in 2005. Cheap olefin and looked it.

i have one I would freecycle you, if you live in chicago and want to come pick it up. The one i have came with the house i live in, and is about 7.5' square.

I bought a very similar rug from someone on Craig's List for $100; it's a smaller version and the primary tone is green rather than blue, and the circles have reds, pinks and blues.
I believe the rug was originally purchased for around $300 or $400 at Pier One.

i have to agree with some of the other posts... this rug does not look nice in person. it has a sheen to it that reveals the unnaturalness of the fiber. it is in my parents' basement now.

"100% Olefin" is generally not good news for indoor rugs.
