Hi All, I just happened to check back in and noticed I had received more comments. Ingrid - I totally agree with all your comments. At first I was thinking about a large square wooden table but thought it would just be to much wood so I have decided on a square table with partially wood and glass. I do plan to change out my pillows. Still not sure of what type of art. I'm not that good in decorating as you can see because I get so overwhelmed. You mentioned blue....what color blue...dark...light? It's funny you mentioned pink....I took samples of my drapes and sofa to a rug dealer and he showed me some area rugs with some pinks but I could not decide. He did let me bring one home..no pinks..more greens..and I did not like it. Just did not work for me. jejvtr - I will do as you suggest and tape it off and put the pictures back out here to see what all of you think about the size of an 8 by 10. I do plan to put a sofa table behind the sofa but I want it to be the same as the coffee table I choose. Do you think that is a good idea? I do want a 100% wool rug. I have never brought an area rug before so I am not sure what price determines a really decent good rug. Can you help in that area :-) Suggestions? I have $3,000.00 that I can spend but if I dont have to spend that much to get a great rug then I won't. valinsv - I love Karastan rugs. I have searched the web site and they are just gorgeous but as usual I get so overwhelmed. yayagal - I checked out the link and I think that one is a little to busy for me but I like the colors. I am opened to any suggestion.....my husband is on me about getting this room completed so I can move on to the next. :-) ambitiousbeginner

I also agree about needing to find the right red for your sofa. We are trying to match walls (already painted) and need an orangey red or rust -- the opposite of what you are looking for. But when I was looking today I saw a cooler deep red that might look good for your room, at http://www.potterybarn.com/products/p12779/index.cfm?pkey=cnew-sale-rugs-pillows-windows Have you also tried looking on Overstock.com? They have lots of rugs, good prices. I did find one for us there. Good luck! Amy Here is a link that might be useful: Pottery Barn rug on sale

You need the plastic glass spacers to keep the glass safely on the base. Place a large enough plant or blown glass centerpiece on the table to divert your attention. As for your rug, any of the grey, orange, blue or white rugs could be successful options to work with your existing rug. All shown are from Overstock. Of course a solid rug is also a given. Good Luck

Your question is so general that I'm thinking you want guidelines. Houzz has many articles and this LINK may hold one that is helpful.
