As a designer, I would recommend a subtle pattern for a rug as everything you have chosen to date is a solid color. It could really help to unify the lights and darks you have already selected.
Michelle i love your attitude towards social eating ...enjoy it and then "be good" ,life has to be enjoyed and you seem to have found a great way to do it x
I was so excited watching you choose the dark rug. Great for a tall space like that & it will make all the furniture you’ve chosen look grounded & chic. Great video as always. 🩶
I think the dark rug is stunning, don’t worry about what others think about it, your house, your choice. You have great taste when you buy clothes, shoes and makeup I am sure you will make the right choice!
Michele. The dark rug is perfect for the area. The rug will always look polished with little effort. Perfect grounding as the center of home from door or stairs. Consider the current rug for makeup/ home office room.
I have my 6 year old nephew for the day and overnight to give my brother and his wife time to get ready. They’re hosting her family tomorrow. It’s not even dinner time yet and I’m exhausted. Luckily he’s reading to the cat so I have a quick window to watch this week’s vlog. We had our big extended family event last week. This year there were 66 of us. Tomorrow I’m headed to a smaller family dinner, only 8 of us. Friday I’m watching Doris Day movies all day.
🍁Happy Thanksgiving !🍁 I hope you had a wonderful day with your family and a delicious dinner. I am looking forward to ❄️ 🎄 Michmas 🎄 ❄️ - HUG - I am thankful for you and getting to share (at least a little) in all your adventures.
Butters: "Where is it? I'm going through all of these bags. You went shopping. There's surely something for me. Where is the ballie for me?" SO looking forward to Mishmas, Michele! 🎄
Thank you for this wonderful vlog 🙂 Great updates especially about Dexascan!! And great preparations for the upcoming holiday visits over Thanksgiving ♥️
Michele, for wrinkled sheets too long in the dryer, just do a quick freshen up cycle in the dryer and fold them while still warm out of the dryer. If they have been overdried,.. spritz the load with water then freshen up
Hey Michelle, I have been doing CrossFit four times a week for a little over two years. I recently just did my first strict pull-up, I can do handstand push-ups, and toes to bar. At 55 years old Im pretty proud of myself. I always set goals, it makes me work harder and stay focused. I've never heard of a Dexa Scan interesting!! The dark rug is gorgeous!!
I love both Celestes. I think the waffle one would drive me crazy, because little stuff could get caught in the pockets, and even a vaccuum would have a hard time getting it out.
Hi Michele, I like the Celeste carpets. I tend to like the warmer lighter colors but not too light. Like more of a beige or tan. The textures were very nice. I have a hard time picturing how it would look with the larger rug. Also how are these rugs to be cleaned? I know these are probably finer really good quality rugs. I was curious about those washable carpets you can throw the top layer in the washing machine. :) Happy Thanksgiving. I'm so glad we just celebrate events at home with our immediate family and it's low-key no stress.
So hard to choose - I think quite of those rugs can work. I'm not a designer and I know it's probably an unpopular opinion but I like subtle stripes. I have a subtle striped area rug in my living room but my décor is blue and white coastal. My stripe is a subtle tan & white and I love it. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. So many great sales today! I haven't watched Love Island, but I have watched every season of Love is Blind and Dancing with the Stars and I am a huge fan of both of those reality shows. So much fun! I can't wait for a new season of White Lotus, although I am so sad that Jennifer Coolidge won't be on it. The humor in that show is right up my alley.
I think that if you go with the darker rug, your black coffee table may disappear against it. You may or may not want that effect. If you’re planning on replacing the coffee table anyway, then not an issue. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi I like the dark carpet but I think your tables will disappear. Have you thought about a Chinese carved pattern area carpet, you can get them in natural tones and it would add a subtle pattern to the room. Enjoy your family time.
Great vlog to come home to after Thanksgiving of which i hope was a complete success for you! Can't wait to hear about it all. Thinking of you the day after which is when I'm watching this. Rest up for Michmas! xo Madelyn
I don’t know if it’s the camera or me, but although I like the dark but it seems to be coming off as charcoal. If you like the dark maybe something chocolate or deep coffee that will complement the couch. What I do is treat it like clothing, what sweater or blouse for instance, what top would I wear with camel. Not sure about any of the carpets. Sorry if I’m not any help.
By now your Thanksgiving feast is over. I’m sure it was a success. Family is everything! 🦃🦃 The light sample pieces came across Grey rather than beige . I happen to personally like the dark rug. It will ground your room and compliment your tables. You have a great sense of style. I am sure your final choice will be lovely. See you for Michmas! 😍
Don't freak out Michele! It'll be ok and remember to just enjoy your extended family! Edit: I wonder what a Dexascan would reveal to me? I know I have too much visceral fat. I’m only 5’0” and weigh 145 so not so good. But it would be a kick in the butt to see numbers in black and white.
Like the idea of the dark rug ..really grounds the furniture and a nice change of mood Michele . Happy Thanksgiving..hope everything goes well but most important, have fun!
I feel you need a patterned rug in the darker color in the room. You need to add dimension. Your couch is warmer in color. You need to put the carpet under the couch to match it better.
Hi Michele catching up with your vlogs, I had 21 people for Thanksgiving 😱😬I hope you chose the dark rug, I agree with you I think it will look nice in the living room. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Sounds like you got a great DEXASCAN report! Good health is everything as we age. Happy Thanksgiving - this is a day to chill and eat your favorites. ❤
I love the dark rug! Going to LI for thanksgiving and flying to Atlanta for Christmas. Finally losing weight but now I need to tone up and add muscle. I had one a couple years ago and it was very interesting.
Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your family time. It’s always so fun to get together especially at the holidays. I remind myself we are blessed to have these “issues”
While that room is light and bright and I believe that it could carry the dark rug. I think it would create a void on the floor. Also I think the rug with stripes could look busier on the floor than what you have going on now....but you may like that to mix it up a bit. Are there no samples that are warmer? Your couch, chairs, the brass and the floor are warm. I'd say order more samples :)
The dark rug looks so velvety ❤ The only thing I would be worried about is it wouldn't have enough contrast with your tables. Would they have the same rug in a shade or two lighter? Or you could change your tables to something lighter 😂 Maybe match that bronze table?
Happy holidays! We are going to King's Fish House. They are having their usual menu plus Thanksgiving items so the hubs is thrilled with that. I love the black rug. I can't offer any real world experience with dark rugs. Just that it looks very classy.
The dark rug will blend in with the dark wood, now if you had a glass coffee table that would be a dif story. Dark wood pieces, dark rug would be too much. Also, your furniture material does not have any pattern, so dont be afraid to add a rug with a pattern, for example if you like dark color rug you can choose something like distressed Persian rug, it can still look modern but it will not blend in too much with ur wood pieces.

Yes! Exactly ❤ (Well said :)
Oooh. I’m so excited for MichMas🫶🏻
Just fyi. She spells it MishMas
Please explain what Mishmas means
I haven’t finished the video yet but that dark rug sample is STUNNING!!! And will make the room so cozy… 😊
Not on this end. Are you in the states? Maybe go into the video's settings?
I think the dark rug is stunning, don’t worry about what others think about it, your house, your choice. You have great taste when you buy clothes, shoes and makeup I am sure you will make the right choice!
Good choice. Dark rug will make your room looks cozy and elegant.
I digging the dark rug too - looks cosy and elegant ❤
Michele. The dark rug is perfect for the area. The rug will always look polished with little effort. Perfect grounding as the center of home from door or stairs. Consider the current rug for makeup/ home office room.
i'm so excited for Mishmas, coffee is ready, mug is ready, comfy pj's.
i love this! everyone needs an extrovert, organized type A cousin! but everyone also needs a creative, beauty savvy, makeup expert cousin too!
Could you re-size your current living room rug for your office? It might look nice in there and save you some money.
I agree. The old rug is actually very very nice.

Friday I’m watching Doris Day movies all day.
66?! 😮 God bless you
I immediately felt that the dark rug option was perfect. Also liked the patterned one. That would look fab too.
Love the Dark rug ❤
I have a few dark rugs and I love them! I think they elevate my sitting rooms and make them more elegant.😌
I LIKE the dark rug. It's beautiful!
Dexascan - very nice and so happy for you! Lifting weights and diet is the game changer!
LOVE how that room is turning out! Dark rug if you're going to change the coffee.....not enough contrast
The dark rug would be gorgeous. Very luxe, velvety, and moody.
I love Thanksgiving! My kids and grandkids will be at our house for a traditional thanksgiving dinner! 🤗❤
🍁Happy Thanksgiving !🍁
I hope you had a wonderful day with your family and a delicious dinner.
I am looking forward to ❄️ 🎄 Michmas 🎄 ❄️ - HUG - I am thankful for you and getting to share (at least a little) in all your adventures.
I would tuck the rug samples under your couch and make sure you like them together.
It is okay to want to be slim. It is associated with healthy body. Congrats on your new mindset and hard work

SO looking forward to Mishmas, Michele! 🎄
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving !!🦃

Wouldn’t the coffee table disappear with a dark rug? I like the lighter one,

Have a wonderful holiday with your family Michele. Look forward to seeing you in Sunday's vlog!

The Celeste light is beautiful. Easier to decorate around . Dark will make that area seem cut off from the rest of that are❤🙌🏻a
A dark rug will show up everything, even if you don't use the room very often.
That Charnelle blush is so beautiful on you. It lights up your face so radiantly. I think I may have to buy one! 😊
Great vlog to come home to after Thanksgiving of which i hope was a complete success for you! Can't wait to hear about it all. Thinking of you the day after which is when I'm watching this. Rest up for Michmas! xo Madelyn
I like the dark rug. 👍🏼
It gives Tom Ford boutique vibes. 😅❤
Oooooo yassss!! ❤
I like the dark rug best.
I❤ the dark rug with.the furniture in your fireplace room
Consider the dark rug. It will anchor your room so that your camel furniture and gold accents pop!

Dark carpet all the way….it would look lovely, since your walls are so light 🤗🤗Herringbone for your office💕💕
The new material must meet inspection criteria by ms butters
Ha! 😂 Yes of course 😂

Love the dark rug. So elegant and grounds the space. Gorgeous.
The dark rug looks great.
Like the idea of the dark rug ..really grounds the furniture and a nice change of mood Michele . Happy Thanksgiving..hope everything goes well but most important, have fun!
That season of Love Island was the best. Do not miss an episode.
I think the darker rug definitely reads as more grounding and cozy for the space, but also still quite sophisticated!
i love the dark rug!
Yay a new vlog! I love your vlogs.
So happy for you that your Dexascan results came out great!
Mishmas❤ can't wait. Watching every year. You are amazing Michele😊
Congrats on your wellness progress! I agree the emphasis should be on how good you’re feeling in your body. After all it’s a lifelong journey.
I feel you need a patterned rug in the darker color in the room. You need to add dimension. Your couch is warmer in color. You need to put the carpet under the couch to match it better.
Does the dark clash with your couch and chair colour?

Have the best thanksgiving! Can’t wait to hear some funny stories lol
Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your family time. It’s always so fun to get together especially at the holidays. I remind myself we are blessed to have these “issues”
Celeste chocolate is my favorite for your room.
❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy your family❤
The dark rug is inviting & cozy😊
I wish there was a button to click 2 thumbs up!! LOL! I just enjoy your videos so much! 💕🎄
Hey Michele.
Happy Thanksgiving 🫶🏻
I like Celeste chocolate since the room is so light in terms of finishing. Nice contrast.
I like the haringbone
I LOVE THE RUG you have. Hahaha its fab in that room
I like the dark carpet. Makes the room very cozy
The dark will make the furniture pop, and match the fireplace. Which seems to be the focal point.
The dark rug will ground the room. I think it’s gorgeous
While that room is light and bright and I believe that it could carry the dark rug. I think it would create a void on the floor. Also I think the rug with stripes could look busier on the floor than what you have going on now....but you may like that to mix it up a bit. Are there no samples that are warmer?

Michele what size is your Quince scarf jacket? I really would lime to get one it's beautiful iv lost alot of weight myself & just wondering on size😊
I'm wearing size M
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Michele! 🦃🍂🍁🍂 So excited for Mishmas!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and you family
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family xx
The lamps are beautiful 😊
I'm a fan of oriental rugs, I find them to be more interesting.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! Love the darker rug color.
Love Island??? Wow Michele…talk about Rock Bottom!😂😂😂
The chocolate will cozy the room and be a nice contrast. The lighter one maybe for office.
I had the same goal this year...the unassisted pull up. Also did not reach it.
Mishmis😮😊❤❤❤ yay!!! This is one of the highlights of Christmas 🎄 for me thank you for doing this! Again 😊
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃❤️
Michele. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Enjoy the visit with your family. Be well.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. I am looking forward to seeing your Mismas videos. Have you have a great week.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Michele, Enjoy! Definitely gray, good choice.
