Traditionalgir, you are SO very wrong. For one thing, my feelings aren't hurt. Not sure where you got that idea. You have to have thick skin to be on this board, everyone's been treated this way at one time or another. And it's posts like your that keeps people lurking for years before they add another layer of skin. Too bad, really. Sofa table topic, I wanted ideas on how to decorate the top of it. That was all. Instead I got replies telling me to take it back to the store etc. Hardly any ideas on how to decorate it. Mantel topic, - Ditto. I need ideas on how to decorate the mantel. I got replies telling me to tear it down. THIS topic. - Ditto again. I wanted advice on COLOR ONLY, and look what I got instead. I did not ask for unsolicited advice, and that's when topics can get nasty. One of our long time favorite posters left because she did a topic similar to mine, and people were merciless with her and the room. She wasn't asking for advice on her room! I don't know why that's so hard for you and others to understand. If someone needs info on color, don't tell them to get rid of their furniture like was said to me above. It's not nice and it's crossing a line. So when I ask for advice on whether or not I should anchor a rug, I will TAKE that advice, but I did NOT ask for any advice on anchoring. So don't come telling me I won't listen to advice, when I was more than open on getting advice on COLOR only. Whew! Back to COLOR. :) You can't tell from the picture of the back of the room, and other rooms, but there are colors that will blend in with the new rug. I love the dark red that surrounds the rug, and I have a shelf of pink depression glassware in the back of the room, and other Victorian accessories I have in storage. The back of the room has a bit more feminine things to it, the front of the room is just a man cave. Now I can bring the whole room together. The Persian in the back of the room has some burgandy/rust designs in it with the muted turquois background. Love it! This new rug isn't a Persian, because it will get a lot of traffic and play time on it with the grandkids. Spills, etc. Now, If end up not liking it, I will ship that baby back, pronto.

when you get a chance, post more pics showing your entire space. stand in your doorway and shoot from left to right. post those. if the kitchen area isn't included in those, then post some for that area too. Can you paint, yes or no? even if it's white, would they let you paint? or perhaps they will if you tell them you'll paint it back before you leave (if you choose to do another color besides white) here are some options I think would work w/what you have, and some pics to display a type of layout of your furniture. look at a few of these side tables they use, and lamps. instead of the white media cab you have, I think a larger walnut, mcm, type of cabinet, or the more modern white one, larger one, would do the trick. I really like this for your tv, and a strong color for the wall it's on. (your other walls would be white) . your tv is bigger and take the place of the mirror. and this pic has the same rug I picked for you. potted plants, also notice these blinds. much better than those minis.

Please help me pick an area rug for this space. I really like monochromatic spaces, I am not a fan of a lot of colour. The room is mostly grey and white with a little bit of navy. I believe I need a 9x12 rug. Attached are some pictures of the room as well as the entry way which is just off this room. I would really appreciate some suggestions. Thanks!

Sorry found chair on Pinterest and turns out blog is 6 years old. I searched Lee Industries for the chair, but must be discontinued. Here are others from their site. At least you may have a feel for what you want and can shop around. Leather is also a good choice with a dog
