LOVE the rug! Too bad that it is discontinued-- I recently ran into the same thing with the C&B rug I'd planned for my LR. It was also discontinued. I called C&B and they were most helpful -- in fact, I was on the phone with Customer Service and one of the stores for well over an hour. It is definitely worth a call to them as both people I spoke to went and checked their storage areas to see if there was one "floating" out there. What is going to work against you is that they do not stock 8 x 10s in the stores. They said they take up too much space and most people can't easily carry them in their cars. Makes sense. Good luck-- it's really an awesome design.

I like where everything is going! What a beautiful and classic feeling room with your choices! I just stopped by to say I love the “lie to me if you hate it” line from the beginning:) May have to borrow that in upcoming posts! Best of luck finishing your new home! And congratulations on the anniversary! We got married about a year and a half ago and are 2 weeks from moving in to our new / first home! We have nothing! So I foresee me spending hours on the forum hunting for tips!

If the art doesn't work for you, it may be time to let it go. I understand how that works. Right now I have a 24x36 framed flamingo poster in my guest bedroom! Next year, who knows? Is IKEA the only option for you? Where would you put your other lamp if you put one behind the chair? This is from Target. https://www.target.com/p/globe-head-floor-led-lamp-black-includes-energy-efficient-light-bulb-project-62-8482/-/A-52011634 I'm not sure I see a lamp back there though. If the large plants aren't working for you, what about something like a wall planter with succulents or air plants? https://www.target.com/p/decorative-wall-sculpture-black-project-62-8482/-/A-53477921 Or a piece of the woven wall art that's everywhere now? https://www.target.com/p/15-34-x28-34-hand-woven-cotton-and-wool-wall-art-opalhouse-8482/-/A-54572890 https://www.target.com/p/12-34-x-18-34-white-woven-wall-hanging-opalhouse-8482/-/A-77643970 Or a colorful African wall basket? https://www.etsy.com/listing/698589448/african-wall-baskets12-rwanda-basket?

I love the orange cushions don't go beige. This is the outdoors, enjoy it :) You could just as well go with navy but wait to change your cushions (if that is what you want to do) until you have a rug in place. I was checking the many sales that are happening right now. I would want to go with a navy rug - patterned rug most likely. Navy is your base color and your existing orange and green cushions will work with it on some rugs, not others. Just add in a pillow or two with all the colors. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Safavieh-Courtyard-Navy-Beige-9-ft-x-12-ft-Indoor-Outdoor-Area-Rug-CY6918-268-9/205592604 Or maybe something like this one https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Star-Links-Navy-Teal-9-ft-2-in-x-12-ft-Geometric-Indoor-Outdoor-Area-Rug-3004193/310502252
