I have spent way too much time on eBay looking for that perfect little Persian rug in my kitchen or entry. I finally took the plunge on a clearance 3x3 that looked rusty orange and green. Of course my first choice is something with navy and salmon pink but my cabinets in the kitchen are green so I decided it would be a good fit. I have never bought from eBay and when it arrived I was so excited for a moment, but that moment was quickly over when I saw the colors. What had appeared as rusty red was ugly red and what had appeared green was black. The rug wreaked in smell but that's to be expected.
I tried to talk myself in to loving or even liking it. Tried it in the kitchen, hallway, bathroom, entry...it was not good. So back I stuffed it into a box this morning and sent it on its way. Lesson learned. I will be extremely picky with color in the future, not settle for the quickest and cheapest, and make sure I feel certain before pulling the trigger. eBay=1, me =0. Here's hoping my refund comes quickly!
I took a few pictures but they are so bad it's not even worth showing... Oh did I mention this is my early bday gift? Yep, that's my excuse this time.
