The new 8x12 grey rug for the living room was only $83 at Lowes!

It looks to be some sort of carpet remnant, but is edge bound and nice. Mohawk brand. I also got a plush 8x12 brown one for the parlor for $83 too. They are back by the regular rugs (separate from true remnants.) Some are thin, but they mix in some plush ones.

Not the best rugs ever, but an 8x12 for $83? You can't beat it!

The black-out bamboo shade for the playroom is awesome! I was skeptical of its light-block ability because it is only bamboo, but it makes the room super dark! Plus only $32.
Got it at HD. They had 2 kinds in stock. The room-darkening is the "Providence".

Not bad at all for $83. I think it looks nice.
