On a recent search for some Thanksgiving-specific decor, I found myself sifting through Wayfair's Thanksgiving decoration sale section. That's when I started to notice these odd area rugs. The cotton, made-in-Turkey area rugs were your standard size and price, but what was on them was the shocker.
First, there was a picture of a pile of pumpkins—and not, like, an Anne Geddes minus the babies portrait of pumpkins, but more like a grainy photo from your great-aunt's old digital camera. From there, it became a game of excitement. What would I find next? I burst out laughing at a strange illustration that resembled a Peanuts cartoon. I covered my mouth in horror at a large rug plastered with an image of a pile of discarded bones. What were these rugs?! Does anyone buy them? Suddenly, I couldn't stop searching the depths of the online retailer for more.
It was easy to find out that rugs come from a manufacturer called East Urban Home. However, this is where the mystery starts: For the life of me, I can't find much more about the brand—and I can search the internet (give me a name and I'll have all their public records pulled up within the half hour). The company is described as having products of the highest quality. "They attribute this to the fact that they print each and every order custom made," according to their site. But who is choosing these images? And why are the rugs listed on Wayfair's site?
East Urban Home's other products get great ratings. However, the rugs…seemingly no one has rated the rugs. While I'm disappointed I couldn't crack the case, I figured the world—you—should feast its eyes on these weird wonders. Hey, maybe you'll find one that cracks you up so much you'll buy it.
