Which couch would you pick, and rug...
I sold our old couch & love seat so trying to decide what to get for this room. When we painted it this color I didn't think about how hard it would be to decorate. I am going to switch out my kitchen table and move the one that is a dark grey and white leather chairs in here. I will make a sitting area in this side of the room.

If you could grow any Brug as a tree, which would you pick?
Comments (1)I got some really nice ones from someone on ebay, Sommergardens was the seller. There are a lot of hybrids you don't see in the nurseries. I mean, double and triple flowers. I'm really pleased with his service, and with the plants he sent me. They can take the heat - our temps go up to about 100 or more every summer and they don't skipe a beat. It's the winter cold that will freeze them to the ground, at least in an area that has a mild winter. That first one is really something! They don't get that large in areas with a winter cold enough to freeze them back....See MoreWhich TV stand would you pick
Comments (32)spring-meadow - yeah, it's weird. The scale in that picture is way off. That's a 9x11 rug and the curtains are 108", but it looks more like a 5x7 with regular 84"ers. I don't know why it photographed tiny. How come my hips never photograph tiny?!? May I ask where you got the corner TV stand? I'm so glad you posted the pic it helps me visualize better. vcheethi - We got the stand at a store called Nebraska Furniture Mart. They also sell online: NFM.com. It's a cheapy -- that TV was in a home theater room in our last house, and was surrounded by a large entertainment center. I wanted something that would "disppear" and keep the wall from showing between the side piers. The stand is actually open with glass shelves, like this... ...I made a black "curtain" the same height as the stand opening and mounted it on a tension rod flush against the opening. The curtain hides the ugly inside, but doesn't block the remote controls. The neat thing about the stand is that it has a recess on the top, with a lip. The TV goes down into the recess, then slides in under the lip, so it essentially "locks" the TV to the stand. Very very secure!...See MoreWould you help me pick an area rug?
Comments (16)My first reaction was #4 but then I read down most of the comments and no one had said 4 so I went back to the rugs and chose a different one. Then I read the last post and 4 was mentioned SO I really like #4 and my second choice would be #3. By the way you chose really pretty rugs!...See MoreWhich hardwood floor stain would you pick?
Comments (17)I agree with everyone's advice here and I am someone who usually likes gray. I think gray hardwood only looks good if it looks like the wood naturally aged. Wood is a thing found in nature, so embrace its natural warmth. I really like suzyq53's inspiration photos for your floors, but you could probably do a custom mix that is a medium cool brown if you think those are too warm. I just think your current stain color samples are too grayed out and because your floors are red oak, the lighter you go, the more pink it will look. Also, you should choose a stain color you LOVE and not worry about the dog hair so much in influencing your floor color. They are floors, meant for us to walk on, and are going to get dirty regardless of your shedding pup's hair color. Instead of trying to hide dirt and hair on the floor, just come up with a good cleaning schedule -- maybe get a robot vacuum that can clean the floors everyday while you're out....See MoreMelissa Roos

8 years agoDon't compound a mistake with turning yourself inside out trying to find items to work with the new paint. Replace the pistachio paint on the walls.
If you had just painted the walls plain white you could have gone with any color scheme for your furnishings.

8 years agoSorry I disagree, since you have the paint, which I think is really fresh and inviting for a sunroom, get your neutral sofa and the rug which is great. The sofas you are looking at will go in the room no matter what color the walls are. If you want to repaint in a few years, you won't have any issues with the furniture you have in the room. Add accessories that work with it now easy to change in the future. You have blues in the rug. Add some blue and green pillows to the lighter sofa and it will be beautiful.
