You are SOOOO SWEET to offer. Seriously that is so KIND! I'm not taking your tiles. You keep them because you never know. :) I have found a tile similar to yours at Dal Tile and I could put them in and just cover them up with a "real" throw rug. I just thought if we sell the house it will be an issue to the buyer. If I make it look intentional like I wanted a build in rock rug at least they will just think I have quirky taste. :) hee hee You are very nice and I really appreciate the offer but I can't accept. I'm still hunting and I'm not sure what I will do. I actually like the idea of the rock/pebble thing but I just need to keep looking and make sure I get one that blends in. Also I have pieces of my tile that are cut and I could piece two of them together with super glue (maybe) and they would be not square and not the right size but hey, better than nothing. We will see. I am glad I got some good feedback about the rock idea. It's nice to have as an option and know that other people out there like it also. I know not everyone will but if just a few say it's fun and okay then I feel better about doing it. Hey, if we all did the same thing and picked the same stuff what a boring world. Thanks ajsmama!!

OK that makes sense. Then I agree with groveaxles placement but would make it as narrow as possible. Or depending on your room arrangement could a swivel chair be utilized as part of your seating area, that could swing around to face the closet...so serve the function of both Conversation seating and place to put on shoes? have to say I really like the closets you added.

Working with the two items you have, the mirror and table, I think the height is fine. What is making it look awkward is the fact that you have nothing on the table that can fill the gap between the tabletop and mirror. Try an orchid in a nice planter or basket, it will help to blend the two together, then add a couple of your favorite small tchotckes (don't over do it though, you could even lay two favorite hardback books with bindings facing out), it will be a beautiful greeting to all who see it! You're on the right track!f Life is better because of the beauty we find in it!

On the right lower deck, I’d have a seating area … chairs, table, bench, etc, any color: I’d also have a few bigger pots of plants, instead of a bunch of smaller ones. Rendering of front entry with chairs: I’d get plant stands or other bases to have varying levels of decor you do, not just have everything sitting on the decking.
