Area Rugs

So while I have a rough sketch in my mind of the colors and styles of furniture I would like in each room, area rugs have been more of a problem. One key factor that is holding me back is price. I'm a frugal person, and I search and search for the best buys.

I have a general idea of what I'd like, but I haven't had much luck finding what I'm looking for. I have found some that are "sort of" what I'd like, but in addition to not being exactly what I want, they're way more expensive. I would spend more if it was exactly what I had envisioned in my mind.

I currently have one area rug and a runner that I sort of like. Actually I love them, except for the fact that the colors are not as bright as I would like. I love vibrant colors, and the colors in the rug are more natural but the reds and purples and blues are on the drab side.

However I am currently on a mission to find an area rug for the bedroom. I've decided on a light blue and dark brown color combination. I like colors versus themes, and it has always made updating the styles easier.

So while I am patiently looking for an area rug I have had no luck thus far.
