Please help me find a rug for my hall..

[CountessDracula]

Needs to be a runner, washable, pref natural colours or antiquey looking

Seems to be v hard to find anything nice AND washable

I'm getting rid of my runner - it's dry clean only though and i will clean it for you if you want it. It's Next from around 3 years ago - muted aztecky kind of colours; went well in our hall which is wooden floorboards and Victorian style. let me know if you're interested. otherwise, try Next or cotswold company they have quite a few.

Ebay do fab Persian runners.

Laura Ashely had a few nice ones a couple of years ago when we were looking - not sure about now. Worth a peep maybe.

Thanks Moomin, the reason I would like it washable is because we have a dog and her wet paws stain our oak floor. So it will be a bit of a doormat iykwim and will probably need to be washed regularly hence the requirement.

Would you mind sending me a piccy to countessdrac at hotmail dot co dot uk if you can? I may still be interested if it is dark enough.

Thanks

Have checked ebay and LA but none of them are washable.

If was to get a wool one I would prob get antique one as have good mate who deals in them

we bought ours from John Lewis but it was very 'industrial' looking it was one of these \link{http://www.turtlemat.co.uk\practical though}

yes will take a photo and send it as soon as i can. btw we are complete mingers, we used to have a dog and we have traipsed the prams/pushcahirs in over it (the rug not the dog) for 4 years without washing it and it still looked ok!!! bet it will look like a different rug after it's cleaned, but still.

red rugs can look nice .........
