Edit
It's only Thursday & I'm already looking forward to the weekend. That's because we're finally going to BUY the SHOE shelving for my MASTER CLOSET! Most of you may recall me writing about my master closet in progress here.
Well, now I'm ready to choose a runner for the closet. And of course, I would LOVE your suggestions.....
Well, now I'm ready to choose a runner for the closet. And of course, I would LOVE your suggestions.....
I've narrowed it down to the 5 below & even though they're all from Ballard Designs, feel free to suggest something else you may have seen. I'll be HONEST, it would be nice to stay under $200...so please don't list runners that cost $350 - like my absolute fave here.
I'll just end up crying......
My master closet below....as I mentioned before in this post. The UGLY white wire shelving will be removed to make way for shoe & handbag SHELVES!
So, Please let me know your pick for a carpet runner...

I'm kinda likin' the zebra one {but I may be biased as I have a zebra in my office/closet} and just remembered you have one in your foyer
ReplyDeleteI am loving #3 but I am a sucker for a good geometric pattern!! Happy New Year! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your choices and how exciting to be getting it all done! I personally think number 3 looks the most elegant. But I would really go for the one YOU adore. One that you wont get tired of, becasue it is probably a runner/mat that you wont be changing so often.
ReplyDeleteLove all off the options. I love option #3 it's stylish & elegant and brings and I think it brings more piece. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI am 100% on board with #5! Abslutely gorgeous and will lighten up the space since the leopard print is rather pale. Love it! And you are leaning towards it yourself... That's a pretty good sign that it's the one!
ReplyDeletenumber 3 as i love the colour and pattern, and number 5 for the gorgeous twist on the leopard print!
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 or 5 are my favs! Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteI vote for 3 as well, for sure!
ReplyDeleteNumber 5, no doubt!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE #3.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen: I like your choice, but I also like #1 and #4 - you probably won't go wrong with any of these picks - they are all fab!! :))
ReplyDeletemy fave is number 3
ReplyDeleteI really like 3 and 4. But they are all great choices!!
ReplyDeleteI ♥ No.3!!! sooo stylish ;)
ReplyDeleteI would vote for #5 first and then #3. I cán't wait to see it all done.
ReplyDeleteI really love number 3 !!! It's beautiful! Second choice no.5.......
ReplyDeleteJennifer
I love numbers 4 and 5. They would look ah-ma-zing in your closet!
ReplyDeleteMy fave is number 4 followed by number 5
ReplyDeleteI love what you are doing, it is going to be such a great little retreat...when our clothes feel good then we feel good!!hehehe I am wondering why you don't just make your own runner?? You know the old fashioned floor cloths? Well, with your talent and there are prob some u-tube videos out there to show you the finishing it might be a sleek floor show for you and durable and also washable....just a suggestion..can't wait to see what you choose. Susan
ReplyDeleteoooo, i like number 4 and 5. but they are all gorgeous. Is it weird to say that 4 and 5 look the most expensive. (assuming that in reality they are all quite similar in price)
ReplyDelete#5 is my favorite by far. i cannot wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDelete#5 its more subtle - yet still an animal!
ReplyDeleteI really love #3
ReplyDeleteI like number 5 or the zebra one. Of course the serengueti one is fab!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! Loved the kitchen by the way!
I'm torn between 3,4 and 5. Have you checked these ones out?

I have the safari one on my living room and I love it!
I really like the #3 and #5-- I think #5 would be really nice with your dark cabinets and shelves... Also- I really love the classic leopard print with the slight fade... it makes it more modern and unexpected!
ReplyDeleteYour vision is stunning- can't wait to see the finished product!

i like 4 and 5 best... you are really making me want to redecorate. reading your blog daily is making me spend money!! hahah
ReplyDeleteI'm with you I like #5, a very glam snow leopard :) plus I think the black/white pallet is more your style with the rest of the house vs. the golden browns of a traditional leopard. :) Your closet is gonna rock!
ReplyDeleteGretchen
I'm personally not a fan of animal prints but am definitely a HUGE fan of geometric ones. Therefore, I've gotta put my vote in for the gray and white geometric pattern! However, I do like your main pick right now, too. I feel like the color and print combimination is neutral but still funky.
ReplyDeleteI really like numbers 3 and 5. Just depends what sort of look you want for your closet. 3 is more classic and elegant, and 5 is fun and exciting!
ReplyDeleteI love number 1 *blush*
ReplyDeletehttp://jannsboutique.blogspot.com/
Definitely #5, it looks the most rich and I like how it's sort of neutral and subtle.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the final results!
Oh I totally agree with your top pick. So much fun but also muted enough that its not over the top. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWww.temporarynest.com
I like #5...it's fun ans sassy!
ReplyDeletetI love the #5 choice that you're leaning toward. My second pick would be #3! Have fun organizing your shoes this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the one you're leaning towards, it's almost a neutral pattern, which is super chic. And the Zebra would be my second choice. Both are so lovely and would look amazing with your dark wood shelving. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but think I like #1 the best. Hugs! Katherine
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Yeah I'm liking #5 too! #4 would be my second runner up :)
ReplyDeleteI'm agreeing some of my fellow readers above...I adore #3 but Louie said it best, go with the one that you absolutely adore! So cool watching this transformation!
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but #2 is my favorite :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm liking #3 !!
ReplyDeletego with your gut- #5 for SURE!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like #5 the best...looks more sumptuous and expensive than the actual price--love your closet too! What a great idea to go to Ikea for closet organizers, for some reason I never gave much thought to their organizers, thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteDo they not carry shoe organizers?
Hi Jen! Happy New Year dear!
ReplyDeleteI love #3 for myself because my closet is more square. I love your choice for your master. It will look very sophisticated of course!
I spotted the chandelier too you know.
xo Lisa
#4. Niice closet!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteGo with #5. It's beautiful and it's similar to the one you really want. I'll think you'll be happiest with that one. They're all lovely though.
I just saw these on sale at of all places the Company Store. Worth a look
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thecompanystore.com/Zebra-Rug/UH89,default,pd.html?dwvar_UH89_color=TAN&start=39&cgid=clearance-home-decor
And don't forget HauteLooks (they are having cowhide rugs for the deal of the day) and One Kings Lane, they are always having rug sales if you can wait
I like 3 the best and then 5. I would consider 3 for my living room, but wonder what the texture is like...
ReplyDeletelove your choices!
ReplyDeletei also love the nate berkus chevron dhurrie runner @ hsn its 2'x9' for $99! it doesn't really seem like the look your going for, but i just thought i'd chime in with that!
love the cheetah, can't wait to see it all put together!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely #5!! I also like the zebra but #5 is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteI think 4 or 5 would be perfect, given that your shelving units are dark. They would compliment them well. Good luck! ;)
ReplyDeleteLeaning toward #3. I love the pattern. Gray is one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteMy first choice would definitely be 5, followed by 4. Looking forward to seeing the end result!
ReplyDeleteNumber 3! But if you're going animal print, id go with Zebra!
ReplyDeleteI am loving #5! It will go great with you space!
ReplyDeleteHi jen!! I'm a brazilian girl and I love your blog!! Your posts are amazing *-*
ReplyDeletewell, for me the number 4 it's the best. sooooo gorgeous!!!! love zebra ♥
xo.
Hi jen!! I'm a brazilian girl and I love your blog!! Your posts are amazing *-*
ReplyDeletewell, for me the number 4 it's the best. sooooo gorgeous!!!! love zebra ♥
xo.
I vote for #3...the graphic pattern of course!
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 or 5! These are the bests! But if you can't deciced, just pick those which you least like, and do it again till you got the one, you want.
ReplyDeleteI love: 2,3,&4
ReplyDeleteThe best? 3
I'm so excited for you!!!
SUSAN: Ha! Im already tackling the shelving...dont think ill have more time to make a runner too! :)Thanks!
ReplyDeleteTRAVELKATE: I do believe that IKEA had show organizers, but not as pretty as i wanted.
ReplyDeleteIs #5 the belgique indoor/outdoor rug? If so, I have it and LOVE it ... although I will say it is definitely not the softest (as you would expect). But it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteFlor makes leopard print carpet tiles: http://www.flor.com/serengeti-raven.html
ReplyDelete#5 is my favorite. By Far!
ReplyDelete#3 is definitely my favorite.
ReplyDelete#3 is gorgeous!
ReplyDeletexo Alison
I'm lovin #3 and #5!
ReplyDeleteI with you... I like #5 too! Can't wait to see the outcome. I know it will be fabulous! xo
ReplyDelete#5!!! Definitely!!
ReplyDeleteI love #3 - I feel like it's very 'you', but maybe not for your closet in particular..it's a big contrast in color plus the pattern's a bit distracting for such a small space that will already be full of stuff.
ReplyDeleteI like 4 & 5 a lot too! These blend in very nicely...the zebra is very stylish and the leopard is more subdued but also nice. And it wouldn't compete with the clothing in your closet :) Good luck!a
PS. I just noticed you changed your header! Love it - plus it's perfect since you did make it :) xo
ReplyDeleteI love 3 and 4!!
ReplyDeleteLove the one you picked-hands down. Chic and modern and great tones. But all your selections are nice.
ReplyDeleteI love that your closet will be neat enough to have a runner in it... I like the one you like...riirrrr!
ReplyDeleteI vote for 4 - I totally get why you like 5, but I think something strong and bold would work best in that space and contrast with the existing flooring. But go with the one you love the most, you have to live with it!
ReplyDeleteI just bought #5 that you like. I only opened it a bit before a order a return receipt but them mom urged me to take it out of the bag. I actually love it now. Quite pretty in my dining room. Good luck!
ReplyDeletecan't go wrong with 3 or 5!
ReplyDeleteLove the one you chose and also #3! Loving the new header :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see which one you all have selected...it makes it easier for me to decide. As of (15 min ago) I bought #5.
ReplyDeleteSo, we'll see how it works out...thanks to everyone who gave me their suggestion! OXOXO!
Wonderful choice lovely! I too like #3 but I LOVE #5 and think it's the perfect one for your closet! x
ReplyDeleteI vote number 3 and number 5 :)
ReplyDeleteI love 3, clean and modern looking.
ReplyDeleteBtw, your new home looks amazing!!!
Also, my boyfriend bought me your "love" print for my birthday last week, I LOVE it!!!!
I posted it on my blog along with my other gifts, will send u update after framing.
Happy New Year!
I prefer 3 and 4.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving #3 or #5...both would look lovely...but I'm partial to a bit of animal print especially in a small space...can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Katie
Since your space is somewhat narrow/small, I like the idea of "wall-to-wall" carpet...like #5, the one that's your favorite, as opposed to the ones with borders. Your closet is so nice and I love the little chandelier!
ReplyDeletewould be rug number four for me although they'd all look pretty good I think!!!
ReplyDeleteI am biased, if you saw my house, you'd understand, but I LOVE the zebra one (number 4)... when you're getting ready for a night out, it will make you feel cha cha va voom... the others sort of lack that... you should feel sexy when you're getting dressed....
ReplyDeleteYou should also check out Flor carpet tiles. A friend of mine just purchased them for her entry and loves them. She got the: Serengeti - Raven (http://www.flor.com/serengeti-raven.html)which is similar to the look you were going for. And, you cant beat the price! Good luck picking a rug.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE #5, it's a great leopard pattern!
