Comments (3)In open concept things don't have to match they just need to coordinate. Choose colors you want in the space and use them in varying degrees in both parts of the room. The rug you have under the table is too big for that space. I would move it into the living room part of the room but orient it the opposite direction. Center it in that space with the window and use it as a guide for furniture placement. You should have at least a foot of hardwoods showing on all sides. Art should be placed with centers at about 60". a grouping should be placed as if it were one piece. Color should be repeated around the room to keep your eyes moving in the space. Center the dining table under the light and lower the light closer to the table. If you do bring in another rug it should also be centered under the light along with the table.Try the table turned the other way. The room will feel less cramped if you can comfortably walk all the way around the table grouping. When I move into a new place I try different furniture placement out for a few weeks then change things up and live with another position for awhile until I find what works in the room best for my lifestyle. Looks like you have a great start. I also love saving money buying at thrift stores and online. Gotta love a deal....See MoreNeed help identifying this chair + any ideas for upcycling welcome!
Comments (7)Do come back and let us know what you find out? Perhaps send your pics to the company that distributed it, and maybe someone there can tell you when it was made. When I saw mine on Craigslist, I HAD to have it, after I researched it. I don't have gout, but thought it was just so unusual. Mine was used by the elderly seller's great grandfather. I bought it last year, and it's a great conversation piece. Most people today haven't heard of them. I pulled the info just below from this - FURNISHINGS : History’s Been Putting Up With Footstools The article is from the LA Times, written in May 1994. "By the 17th Century, the footstool concept had trickled down to the common everyday rich folk in the form of a “gout stool.” Then, gout was considered a rich man’s ailment. The gout stool was a means of elevating throbbing feet for relief and protection." I just found this, which is VERY close to mine, although not in great shape. I don't have a Worthpoint account to see what it sold for - https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-gout-stool-rocking-chair-rare-1800-wood Here's a video on one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LAum-_bbGQ...See MoreNeed Help with Living Room Area Rug Ideas
Comments (11)OK. I have attached a pic of my living room. I have also attached a few pics of some rugs that have peaked my interest (the yellow flowers being my favorite). The only items in the room that will remain the same are the couch and loveseat. I'd like to keep my curtains if possible, but I'm not opposed to switching them out. Other than those 2 things, everything else in the room will be updated. Thanks for any input you can give!!...See MoreNeed help with Chandelier ideas
