Thanks Les and igloochic. Les, I thought about buying four of the panels and then getting another fabric for the rest of the panel but I don't think the weight, though I'm not certain, of the osnaburg would work with the Canyon Leaves. igloochic, sorry I confused you. I'm just extremely eclectic, I guess. I love the layout and bones of a farm house style Victorian. The rich stained wide woodwork, lots of rooms and long turning hallways. I've just never lost my love for the wonders of the mid-century home furnishings and decor either. We'll see if I can pull this off. I called my hubby earlier and in our conversation the cost of the Canyon Leaves panels came up. He thought that each window was going to be forty dollars over the whole budget. No wonder he didn't say go ahead and get them. Not that he said much of anything. News flash, never talk to a man when he's doing anything else even if you think you have his attention. You probably don't. So now what I need to do is decide for sure what color to get. I'm starting from scratch on this room other than the furniture of course. I'm talking color wise. The furniture will be stained a dark walnut though. That I'm sure about. I do need help in what of the color choices below do you think looks most MCM? What colors do you see in the Evening Sage panels?

I agree with moving the table to the top of the stairs; the space seems too small for a table. Not sure what your budget is, but I know you can buy really inexpensive polypropylene runners quite cheaply and I think I'd add one on top of your carpeting...like this: I think it would make all the difference in your entry. Check out kswl's thread about her fairly inexpensive runners: $149 runners Here's a link from her thread to one that's only $69: $69 runner

My spare "inventory of stuff"

You are in great hands with flo. I also have a large entryway that needs something fantastic to happen thats why I popped in. You basically will have an entry that Im working on too! I know that I have one large piece and i finally decided on a simple bench over a console. I love a simple but impactful ”moment” ( i dont love that phrase) but it sums up whats happening there.
