Having torn out the ecru wall-to-wall-blah plush carpeting
and installed a light colored pre-finished oak flooring in
my living room, I decided to add a little punch of color.
So, I just ordered this rug for my newly decorated living
room:

I also ordered this for the adjoining entry hall (also from
Macy's but I can't find it on their site):
http://www.rugstudio.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=22120
Whee!!!
I may have to change out some of the accent pices in that
room, but I'm going from antique white walls to taupe, and
ecru floors to glorious color.
Ain't life grand?

Sure is grand.
I love your choice of colors for the rugs.
I think wood floors with area rugs are the best look a room can have.

I am so looking forward to the sleeker, cleaner look. The
room echoed a lot with NO furniture and the wood floors, got
a little better when I moved some of the furniture back in,
and I'm sure it will be perfect when the area rugs arrive.
I finished painting the adjoining dining room late last
night. One problem with rooms which have no separation is
that you have no stopping point for paint. Ah, well,
everything really needed a fresh coat of paint. I also
removed all the baseboards, gave them a light sanding, new
stain and top-coated with low-gloss Varathane. Looks like an
entirely new house! ;-)
Next is faux painting the "faux" rock fireplace to more
closely resemble rocks. It has been "builder white" for 38
years....

I really does feel completely different! I was always sure
that color on the walls would compete with pictures.
However, the new paint color "Behr Wheat Bread" is lovely, a
nice neutral taupe. It really doesn't add much "color", it
just sort of perks up the walls. And of course, just having
freshly painted walls is a big improvement over the 15 year
collection of dings and bumps. ;-}

Thanks, I am so looking forward to having them. Now if I
can just keep my elderly dog from finding a favorite place
on one of them to potty.... :-(
