http://www.millsriver.com/ Custom made rugs, free shipping for items over $100, no tax if you're out of state. Run by a nice family, the woman in charge is named Julia. Their prices, quality and colors are great. Their website doesn't show the baby blues, yellows, and pinks, but you can order a swatch of the braid for free.

I bought a 30 inch octagonal braided rug (Vintage Series), in blues that are very soft and nice for a nursery, from a speciality store near me. I put it in front of our hutch/changing table but I wanted a bigger one for the middle of the room. So I found the company's name on the tag, did a Google search and found that they have a website. I called them up and was so happy to hear that they do make rugs to order for individual customers.

While I was at the speciality store I saw this company's pinks and yellows there as well and they are also nice shades for a nursery. They come in oval, round and octagonal and will do any size you like.

I'll post a pic of my 30 inch blue one when I can, I'll edit it into this post. I love it.

The company uses cotton remnants from the mills down south.

They are machine washable, if they're too big for the machine Julia said you can wash them in the tub or outside. Very sturdy.

They don't charge your credit card till the rug ships. I just ordered a 60 inch (about 5 feet) blue octagonal one (Vintage Series) for the middle of the nursery and she said it'll take 4 weeks maybe less. It only cost $138.50 no other charges and this is custom made! I couldn't find this one or a comparable one in a store anywhere! I think the price is great from what I've seen around.

Here's the website address again... http://www.millsriver.com/

Just wondering if your Mills River rug arrived. I'm waiting on braid samples from Julia, and was hoping to get your feedback on your special order.
Thanks!

Oh wow! That is a great deal. We have a cotton rug from Bed Bath and Beyond and I hate it. I really wanted a braided rug but I thought they were too expensive. These seem to be priced just right. Now I have to convince DH. :-)

I love them! My custom rug (the big one) got to me very quickly, less than 2 weeks, even though they had estimated 4 weeks. The quality is very good, thick, sturdy, and vibrant colors.

I don't think you'll go wrong if you order from them.

Let me know how you do!
