thanks for all of the input! oakley, i love yellow too. The room was previously turquoise and lime green and while I like those colors, it was a little dark in there and not very cheery. I just checked out PB rugs. I love the rugs at PB teen, but braided rugs are a little traditional for the space, which is leaning towards eclectic/modern. pricklypear, very nice C&B rug - that led me to the rug i ended up buying. The rug should ship in 7-10 days. I'm excited as this room has been in disarray for months. My little one will have a fun, happy spot to play in soon. :) I'll post photos once the room is done. thanks, Pip

I think the bedding would be gorgeous with that rug if you take the bedding for a neutral. Now cross your eyes and see the solid neutral color in the bedding. Purchase your bedding and let the rug be the item that sets the stage for accent colors for in room. Beiges, khakis, sortagolds, taupes, blacks and neutrals can become wonderful room accents for your "now neutral" bedding. Oh, by the way, grab a couple pillows in a satin like fabric near or exactly the color of your background bedding color and take a piece of the bedding to the paint store and work your wall magic to pull it together.

bumping back up because I am making progress!! scooped up two of these lumbar pillows last night at TJ Maxx, I'm kinda debating.... it seems like none of the throw pillows I am picking out are working!!! GAH!!! close up of pillow pattern. I had grabbed this light gray herringbone flannel to make a pillow cover myself, but I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Was thinking of making the cover and then doing a large applique monogram in navy on the front to match the blue pillow cording around the edge... Thoughts? or just go with the blue herringbone pillow? This is a pain in the butt. haha.

Well, okay. First of all, I should have mentioned we are on a tight budget so I’m working with what I’ve got 🤷‍♀️ But, my thinking on that was possibly some very plain cream bedding and I was looking at introducing graphic pattern like the bedspread Flo posted. So, I found these pillows that have teals, burnt oranges, navy etc. Also, the pictures I posted of the rug are not my floor—The rug covers the majority of the room but the small amount of carpet that will be showing is a very thin navy carpet. And we don’t have a headboard and have dark grey curtains and euro pillows so I was thinking dark grey shams for those to sit closest to the wall. Or maybe the golden brown color to bring more of the rug color into the bedding. Maybe in not going in the right direction, idk. It was just an idea.
