If you read my post back in May, you already know about Dan's smelly Pottery Barn rug that I adopted when we moved in together. [Ed. note: the rug in the photo is not the smelly rug.] Call me desperate, but I write this post as a plea for help. For all of you out there who have owned a rug that has this unmistakable burning smell (thanks to everyone who commented to share about their rug woes!), how did you come to terms with parting with a piece that you spent a good amount of money on?
