I first saw shag carpeting when I was about 14.  I was visiting a friend’s house and they had the thickest, most exotic carpeting I’ve ever seen.  We laid down on the floor to watch television and I was in love.

Although I’m not going to cover my entire house in shag carpeting, I WOULD like to have a nice, fluffy shag rug to enjoy when I step out of bed onto the otherwise cold wooden floor.  Or maybe to keep under my reading chair to make things especially homey.

This gray shug rug is totally gorgeous - a little pricey, perhaps, but very nice.   What do you think?  I like that it’s more of a charcoal color than plain old gray, too.
