SW Cascades is just about in the blue/green Hue family. It might work. But your emerald goes more to yellow green hue family. So not sure about it. But it’s a pretty color. Don’t have time right now to delve into the details. Bbl

Y’all might get peeved at me, but I would not fret and obsess over the bedding in this room, or think a paint color has to match it perfectly. Especially in this house, which has a mix of wonderful, colorful, eclectic decor.

The green, to me, is quite neutral. And it can be added to/layered: fold it down, or find another piece (throw, quilt, etc) to fold down, add pillows in whatever color desired, etc.

I think too much emphasis is being put on the color of this one piece of material in this room. It just wouldn’t be a big influence on what wall color I wanted to surround myself with.

Love greens and blues together (and other colors with them):

How about a brownish greyish

Purple? Ive been enamored of this color lately, in all its infinite variety eg gray purples, brown purples, blackberry purples, gemstone purples, florals, very light "hint of violet" purples.... Hmmm. This is why I cant get any painting done in my own house, everything looks good to me LOL. Making a choice, any choice, excludes all other possibilities LOL..

I agree with Jilly. :)

Diana K yes the hand tufted is really a nice strong surface..it should work just fine with roller chair..but from my past experience with my husbands office in all 6 homes it is good idea to add a clear office mat under chair.

What about malted Milk for bedroom? So pretty and calm.

Diana, I don't think screens are appropriate for choosing color, but I thought you might find this article/examples about SW Cascades interesting.

I moved my desk a little. I don't like having my back to a door so now the desk takes up a lot of space but I'll definitely be more comfortable. I ordered a new chair, it's black. I also realized that I won't actually be rolling around that much, so I could probably do a higher pile than flat weave. 

I'm no longer thinking cream rug but I can't figure out what will look good here. Maybe black? https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Alexander-Home-Rain-Transitional-Botanical-Area-Rug/35404860/product.html

If you are willing to go darker on the rug I would lean towards something like the LR rug. Black won’t enhance the room. A deep rug could be beautiful in there.

As for the door in the LR, I think matching it to the living room works even if those doors are open a lot. They’re still part of that room.

Something like this ?

Hmm, alright.

I am liking the SW Cascades. A couple runners along these lines and add tan/rose sheets and pillows to bed with light throw. Or puppy!

Oh Diana K I am so glad you moved your desk! i hate having my back to a door, and like to face ”out,” but did not want to suggest moving because everyone has a personal preference and chalk my preference up to Sicilian heritage.

Ha, forgot to post the pic. Idk how different it looks, but yeah.

I like that better but how about in front of other window? Might make more room for a guest chair and open things up a bit? Would it fit? Can’t tell from this picture.

I could move it to a side, sure. The one on the right side of the picture faces North so there shouldn't be too much glare. The other faces east and it gets bright. But also the wall it was up against to begin with has an outlet.

I totally agree with not having your back to the door, good move. Kinda loving this rug, thoughts?

This one is kinda cute too:

Would it be too much green?

Not suggesting this particular rug, but an example of green rug with green wall. Floors are a little lighter than yours, maybe

How about something that ties the hall paint color in?

@Diana K not too much green in my opinion and I think it would be cute with your desk :)

I think the background is black (possibly dark green?) the colors in it look really pretty with your desk and floors

And here is my favorite of the links you posted:

Oh, ok yeah that does work!

Tex, that blackthorn forest green rug is the one. Iove it!!

I need to verify the size of the rug with the placement of the desk now, then I'll order it. Thanks!!

I love the pattern in it as well. Nice to have something that looks good at a distance and up close.

The darker green rugs work better. Love the Morris pattern.

Your desk is light, so having it sit on a dark rug, with the dark walls, makes it the focal point. Which it should be!

If you’re ambivalent about a couple of then, buy the smallest sizes and compare them before getting anything bigger than 5x8. We don’t know how these green rugs will look with the wall color until you see them in the room in daylight.

I can’t post on your bedroom thread. But if you want something other than a green, I think SW Mount Etna is a good more neutral deep tone you could do a lot of different looks with.

@Diana K so happy to hear you like it as much as me. I can’t get over the pattern, I’m obsessed with it and I think the deeper rug will work beautifully in your space. I have never ordered from ruggable, I don’t know if you specifically need to use one of their mats; but it’s worth checking in to.

On my monitor, the rug you like looks deep green, which could be perfect.

Should I make a difference post about curtains for my rooms? The white/cream living room curtains work with dark night. I don't think the dining room needs them but I'm open to it. I'd like some in my office and the yellow room...maybe?

Ah crap. The rug I want comes in 5 x 7 (too small) or 6 x 9 which seems too big. Is it better to go bigger?

I honestly think white/cream could work in any of the rooms, because your trim is all white/cream. Unless you’re looking for something bold or patterned?

If possible, I would use woven shades for office and craft room. Simple and if you are near a Lowe’s you can get good deals. For living room, I would wait to get most elements in place. You might want a color for drapes such as a deep gold or coppery color depending on coffee table, lighting and art. Use what you have until then.

I wouldn’t start another thread. It’s already getting confusing. 🥰

Diana, post questions about curtains for the LR on that thread. Then everyone can see what the painted room looks like.

How’s your office coming along. I knew that was priority. Just checking. As to living room drapery, are you keeping dining room wall color? That can factor in as well.

Slow. I ordered the rug and a new chair. Moved some plants up. Been looking at natural texture blinds. Once the rug comes I'll be able to settle on places for things. I'm trying to decide where I want the rocking chair, too. It's in a nice dark corner right now and it looks great against the wall, with a plant next to it, but I had a bookcase there before. :/ 

Not sure on the dining room and I'm no longer feeling dark night. Borscht might have been a better choice. I don't want to pay to have it repainted so I'll probably just live with it. Maybe I can bring those colors in with decor and let the paint fade to the background?

Once you get both spaces put together with art etc. The whole look will come together. Ok.

Hi Diana - How are thigs going? I thought of you and your house (and dog) today.

Things are rough at home and it's taking a lot out of me. I'm very slowly putting art up, looking for more art, etc. Still not thrilled with dark night and reddened earth but I'm also completely out of energy to look into repainting it so...meh. 

No longer convinced on cascades for the bedroom. It's a gorgeous color. I'd like something softer and more feminine. I'll have to think on it.

So sorry for all your troubles. Don’t make paint decisions at this time. We are here for you when time is right. Reduce your stress as much as possible. Praying good days ahead for you.

Thanks Flo. :) Sometimes the art helps, sometimes not. I'll post a few pictures when I get a chance.

Know that we are thinking of you.

Aww, thanks everyone! Y'all're wonderful. :)

One piece I hung. I love this painting. My dad bought it back in the day and I've been staring at it my whole life.

Diana - I posted on your other thread. Hoping things have been improving for you. Maybe you could drop in and give us a brief update. Been praying for you and you have been so on my mind! Funny how we can come to care about each other so much here on an electronic platform but it’s all good. We are here for you! Wishing great things for you.
