Why not tell us about the new house first? Is it a gentleman’s ranch house? Your choice of furniture is very definitive.

What a lovely picture of the horse and dog.

Lovely change from the light and airy rooms that dominate the housing market, I personally would much rather spend time in a cozy room with this vibe. Beautiful!

Thanks everyone! The house is being built, so I do not have any pictures of finished rooms. The house itself is ranch style. The great room will have rustic wood beams, light colored walls and light cocoa wood floors. As I said, I am going for the 'cozy" Ralph Lauren look". I love bright colors and obviously, I like a bold piece included in my room! I had the chair custom made some time ago with the beautiful Ralph Lauren Algonquin fabric, so I sure want to use the chair in the living room. I am just having a hard time deciding what color leather couch would go best. They do not have a red that works and I think a black leather would be too stark. With grandchildren, I would like to stay with leather instead of a fabric!

That chestnut colored couch will look great with that chair. Do you have the trunk, the horse picture and the other chair as well? I would probably use them all with a rich Ganado Red rug, and then no more red.

I do have the trunk and the other chair also! wow! I am glad to know it will go together! A Ganado red rug is a great idea! Many thanks! That's a relief!

You might not thank me after you price the Navajo rugs. You can get a good Persian cheaper. ;-)

I know, i have priced Navajo rugs before! Ralph Lauren has a fabulous rug that would go great, but it is so expensive!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
