That's a gorgeous rug and the price is fair (although it never hurts to offer a little less - Craigslist sellers should expect that). I will reiterate what has been stated above, and that is to make sure you give the rug "the sniff test." I would pass on any rug with detectable odors, having realized too late that a couple of rugs I bought from Craigslist sellers for my previous home smelled so bad that I just couldn't live with them. Also check the back of the rug for telltale stain markings. If you go to look at the rug in person, I hope it's a winner! It does look to be, from the photo you shared.

That's really funny! I suspect you'll get lots of suggestions about rearranging your furniture to more easily place a rug there. It looks like the arrangement now is to maximize tv viewing while allowing passage from the kitchen? Is there any reason to not push the pieces closer together and make the walkway behind/next to the other side of the blue couch? That way you could easily have one rug under both pieces. I'm afraid 2 rugs would make it look more disjointed instead of a cohesive area.

and nothing in the hallway? I do feel I need the foot trafficked areas to have rugs to protect my floors. I like the idea of a wider rug in the entry area, but I still want a runner in the hall. I guess I’m just lost on how to approach mixing and matching rugs in a contiguous area.

What are the measurements of the Anthropolgy mirror you are returning? I think it was a good size and would be inclined to get either the first or second choice RH mirror depending on your preference. They will both look great with your chandelier. The third is not worth whatever the additional expense and I don’t think the lines of the fourth mirror are hefty enough. When you refer to the green room pic, do you want to look for a paint color that shade or are you just referring to the pic in general? Also, do you love the fabric on your chairs or are you just going with what is there? I had the seats in my dining room chairs reupholstered a few years back and it was not expensive. I bought the fabric myself and gave it to my upholsterer, which also saved. He came to my house, unscrewed the seats and took them with him so he didn’t have to load up the chairs. I think your fabric is absolutely fine, nothing wrong at all. It just seems like you are looking for a bit of bold in the space and that could be any easy place to get it. Remember if you are placing chairs on either side of the buffet, they are very visible and the seats can add a lot of look, or not to the room. No right or wrong.
