Home Interiors & Jodie White, Sorry guys. I'm new to this. Obviously, i need to create an Ideabook! I tend to go more towards muted brown, red, yellow/gold, rust colors (in past), but open to other somewhat neutral palettes. I actually love the console, but was considering an antique cream color (if I could make that work?). My tastes tend to be traditional, rustic, a little farmhouse (pottery barn, restoration hardware, ballard designs) but with so many current needs, all those in a TIGHT budget! Aktillery9, i do like all of those looks. My husband did just tell me, due to wiring, there is chance we may not be able to mount on flat wall as i hoped, so i may be forced to go back to corner console again. :( When I get a chance, I'll post some of my fav looks.

These railings are custom. It's not like you can select parts and assemble them. Everything has to be welded. So if you are prepared for the $$$ of them contact a metal shop. Here are sources for staircase railing parts that can be ordered, but still have to be measured and assembled by someone. https://www.indital.com/ https://cheapstairparts.com/

Put your centerpiece on the chess table. Is the other ornate dining set for breakfast, gaming or could it be used here? Do you want to continue with the cow head/skin theme, leaning SW in your decor? They aren't really "cozy and elegant," IMO. Is a new chandy in the picture? That one misses the mark on elegance. You need a minimum of 36-42" from the table top to any baseboards or furniture surrounding the table to allow for chair sit/scoot space. I'd do that measurement first. I really wouldn't want the rug jammed up against the exterior wall. Maybe the smaller, round table would be a better choice for using a rug here.

Purchased a Crate and Barrel Sofa in Douglas Ice. Not the most modern sofa, but going in a mid century modern room. Need help finding a practical (dogs and teens), comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing large area rug! Leaning more towards the creams in the color than gray. Welcome suggestions and pics! Thanks!!!
