5 Great Rugs under $500

Why We Love It: Indoor/Outdoor, Knotted Acrylic - Great for high traffic areas, or pets!

 Why We Love It: It might look like a lot of pattern from this angle, but when horizontal on a floor, this rug has a very classy 40's style to it.  Very reminiscent of checker board entry tile.
 Why We Love It:  The Feel.  This rug is a combination of wool and silk, giving it a multi-textural look, and has a soft 'lets sit and do a puzzle' feel.
 Why We Love It: Its hard to find good layered rugs at an affordable price.  This rug is straight park avenue, with a wal-mart price tag.
Why We Love It: These rich colors add character and intelligence to any space.  Just try to find such a distinguished rug under $500 - go on, we dare you!!

These are just a handful of rugs that we carry.  Come on in and flip through our iPad to check out the full line.  There is a rug for every size, budget, and taste!

The Greed Bag - Using Greed to Your Advantage



One of the most unique pieces in the Croft House showroom on La Brea has nothing to do with reclaimed wood at all(though it is 77% hemp & 23% recycled polyester).  It's what we've fondly come to call "The Greed Bag".  At just slightly under 3' x 6' this piece is most commonly compared to "laying on a cloud". It's obscenely comfortable, and though we've never been privy to the luxury of lying on actual clouds, one is left with the impression that this is that luxury. Sadly, more often than not, it's stared at incredulously until one of our staff recommends giving it a try.  Enter the feeling of complete relaxation and the internal debate - how do I use it?  

We struggled with this very question during the design phase of the piece.  We knew we loved it. We knew it works. But we couldn't decide what to do with it. How could we justify this greed? Where would we put it? For any of you out there struggling with this same guilt, here's the answer...

The Living Room.  Literally anywhere in the living room. The greed bag is insanely easy to move  and provides cozy additional seating in any spot you like.  It makes for great seating around a coffee table during games or dinner and it's the perfect height (as well as a dream to sit on).  It truly is the ultimate lounge cushion.

How often do you eat dinner around your coffee table? How often are you fighting for space as everyone crams on to the couch and only uses half of the table? Why don't you just sit on the floor on the opposite side? Why don't YOU just sit on the floor on the opposite side?!  Personally, I have more meals in this setting than I do at my own Mossam Dining Table. Shameless plug? Maybe so, but the point still stands.  With the Greed Bag, the entire coffee table is opened up to sitting or kneeling around, and no views are obstructed when it's not in use.

Does your roommate, Eddie, constantly sprawl out across the couch citing his lower back pain as vindication? The greed bag is long enough to address that as well.  It also lends itself beautifully as another spot to stick a slumber party guest. Dibs couch? Try dibs Greed Bag.  

Unfortunately, at the moment the Greed Bag is only available in store. So if you're in the area we propose you come and give it a lay.  Enter the feeling of complete relaxation but spare yourself the debate.
