I got it in the 5x8 after realizing that an 8x10 would be way too big for the room, and the smaller rug size came with a smaller price tag also, so that was a plus.
The rug is in her room new room now and I absolutely love it! The colors are perfect and I like that it is not too "little girl" feeling -- in fact, I got it from Pottery Barn Teen, so it is meant for someone much older than Sara. Hopefully we will still love the rug as much as we do now by the time she hits her teens and it can stay in her room longterm. Time will tell.
Oh, and by the way, did I mention that we moved? 'tis true. My aunt and uncle moved into my grandma's house in September, and they were kind enough to let us continue to stay there as long as we needed. We were able to take our time to find a great place, and now we're living in it! Our new place is a side-by-side duplex in the Sugarhouse area of Salt Lake, and we love it! There are some crazy quirks about the place, like really squeaky floor boards in the hallway, light switches in weird places, and tiny closets in the bedrooms, but overall it is really great. In addition to the two bedrooms upstairs, we have a full basement with a playroom for Sara, an office for Rob, a laundry room, and a storage room! Plus there is a decent sized backyard that will be really nice when the weather warms up. And we are within walking distance to parks, restaurants, and other shopping. It's a great location! -- a big thanks to everyone who helped us move, especially to my uncle who let us use his truck and trailer, helped us load it, and then drove it to our new place to help unload it, and also to my mom who flew out here for a week to help with the move. Thank you!!
