The wall color is SW Ramie. The chair was my grandmothers, and it is just sort of a placeholder right now. I have been searching for new chairs. I would really like to get 2 chairs, but I am unsure how to arrange everything. I would also like to get a new rug--I've been coveting a real hand-knotted forever. The current rug is very nice, 100% wool Couristan machine woven. It is in the same line as My3dog's lovely living room rug. They have been selling this line of rugs in the last year at Tuesday morning for less than half price. It doesn't come off quite as pale in person. I want to eventually move it into my bedroom, where it will be perfect. Does anyone have recommendations for a rug? What color scheme? I really like some of the orientals that are a bit more modern without a really tight or busy pattern. Something maybe like this: This rug is from Williams Sonoma home, and is way out of my price range at over $2K. Is it possible to get a hand-knotted for around $1K? I need at least an 8x10.

We have all cream colored walls, and solid chairs and sofas all in the brown and tan family...Except for a outrageous red chair in our family room. I love the splashes of red with the tans and Browns. I love pillows and dress up the chairs and sofas with pillows. Heck, even our throw pillows have throw pillows.. including our DR chairs they have throw pillows as well. :) Most of them are needlepoint with some tapestry pillows. I change them around often. I have many in reserve. I also love animal prints. This is the LR and DR area. The family room has a leather sofa recliner, Two leather chairs, a red chair and yup, lots of throw pillows.

This OP has posted several dilemmas lately. I started reading this one from the onset and yes, there are several of the more critical posts missing. She clearly was happy about the selections and appeared to want validation from the people that had helped her with her other dilemmas. One of the first comments on my first dilemma on here was devastating to me and left me very upset. Fortunately, I have a thick skin and just flagged it and then along came some wonderful people to help me. Sometimes certain contributors just go too far. I’ve seen many OPs run off from this forum, but this is the first I’ve seen someone completely delete their account. THINK before you comment people!

You don't pair art with a rug. You don't pair art with anything. Art--especially in your home--should be a statement of what speaks to you. It should be about your life and experience, not some manufactured garbage from a décor store. Random strangers on the internet are in no position to choose what you will live with day to day. Go out visiting art shows, art sales, student shows. Talk to people. Meet real artists. Take your time. Make it an adventure. Get some stories.
