Carpet Fiasco

After months of looking, we finally found the perfect carpet for our bedroom! But it was not without hiccups. We were initially torn between 3 designs:

• Design 1: Light Persian
• Design 2: Modern shaggy
• Design 3: Dark Persian 

We managed to eliminate Design 1, so it was down to Design 2 (modern shaggy) and Design 3 (dark persian). After much debate and discussion, we decided to go with the safer option - Design 2 (modern shaggy). With much excitement, we carried our rolled up carpet out of the store and drove home. The moment we got home and unrolled the carpet in our bedroom, we knew we had chosen the wrong design  :(.

So I called the carpet store and asked whether we could exchange the carpet. The store owner was very understanding (he even chuckled) and said no problem. So we rolled up the carpet and drove back to the store. Somehow, Design 1 (which we had eliminated) came back into the picture and we spent a fair amount of time deciding between Design 1 (light persian) and Design 3 (dark persian). Ed was more keen on Design 1 while I was more keen on Design 3. In the end, we decided to go with Design 3.

Once again, we carried our rolled up carpet out of the store and drove home. When we got home, we headed straight to the bedroom and unrolled the carpet. This time, we knew we had a winner  :). The ironic thing is, just a week ago, if you'd told me that I would be purchasing a persian carpet, I would have scoffed at the idea. Yet here I am today, choosing a persian carpet over a modern one. Funny how things can turn out.
