Wall to Wall Sisal?!?!
I took off work yesterday to get some "house" things done. I needed a day off....I've been waking up at night worrying about "things" so it was nice to have a busy day outside of work where I didn't think of those things all day (not that I didn't start back up at 4 am today!) Anyway, I went to a shop in downtown Franklin called Foyers and Beyond (you can find it here). For anyone who doesn't think they like carpet, go here. This store is amazing...it will make you want to carpet your entire house. I worked with Donna (the owner) and she is super cute and super nice. Here's the issue....my carpet budget is tiny. I have about 2 choices everywhere I go. BUT...here's the good part...carpet can always be upgraded later on! The other good part...Donna suggested sisal. I've been a big fan of wall to wall sisal, seagrass, any natural material for a while. It's showcased on a lot of the blogs I follow. Many people aren't brave enough to try it, but when you have a budget like I do, sisal looks like a double fudge sundae (i.e. really great) compared to the other choices! Here is something like what I picked out -
And here is this look in a room layed wall to wall -
This carpet will go in the master bedroom, guest bedroom, and upstairs. I have read it's kinda hard to walk on, but it will have a built-in pad and some do not have that, so hopefully that will help. A big reason I like it, besides the fact that it looks so lovely, is that you can easily layer rugs on top. I love the idea of layered rugs and Donna at Foyers and Beyond can make you some AMAZING and very reasonable rugs. I've definitely got my eyes on a few that she has in her store! Plus I already have some pretty good rugs...and for the moment, I have no kids and no pets. Hopefully that will change (still deciding about Rocky the kitty), but I think this is my best option now. I still haven't made a decision about the basement carpet. I have some berber and just basic "loop" options, but I haven't gotten excited yet, so the search continues. Here are a couple more pictures -
Anyone have any thoughts about wall to wall sisal?

In our house in Memphis I did wall to wall sisal in our sunroom. Loved the look, not so comfy on the feet...but I am sure the pad will help. I LOVE the way it looks, that twin room is to die. I cant wait to see pics of all your rooms coming together!
I'm going to drool over your home...and maybe copy a lot of it someday. Just warning you. ;-)
Love wall to wall sisal/seagrass! I wanted it in our Nashville house in the family room off the kitchen but ended up going with a low pile option on sale at Home Depot that had a similar look. I say go for it!
Btw that store in Franklin sounds great!
