Don't you just love it when something new works out just the way you wanted it to?!

They look great! Love the rods too! I can't really tell from the picture if the rug matches or not. Maybe if you could take a picture at night when the lights are on.

I love the drapes and those are the exact rods I want for my den. Can I ask where you got them? I think the rug looks nice. It has all the same tones plus the green. Is the yellow on the curtains a yellow of gold. If gold, I would stay with the rug.

I love everything - it's looks beautiful including the rug. Can I ask the color of your walls? I gravitate towards warm tones and I think your room is very pretty.

That is beautiful fabric, Laura!

Arapaho, that is a gorgeous rug, isn't it!?

Love the rug with the drapes too. It may not match exactly but it goes well which in my opinion is better than an exact match.

beautiful: stop worrying, the rug looks amazing there with the drapes.

It all looks so elegant. And unless that rug really doesn't work with a full-on view, I think it's lovely.

Red

Everything looks great, the drapes are beautiful! I agree iwth Red, that unless the rug looks different IRL, they look very nice together.

The drapes are beautiful.

I think it all looks great together. Doesn't have to be just matchy/matchy to work.

Smiles:)

Your room is really lovely! The only thing I can't tell is if the red in the drapes and the red in the rug are close. Other than that, it's spectacular.

Oh, and please tell the wall color. Thanks! : )
Susan

Great room the drapes look lovely.

Ohhh, it looks lovely! And I'm SO glad I stumbled upon this thread. I've got a similar scenario...4 ft picture window with 2 ft windows on the sides (8 feet total) but will do the draperies like you have done yours. I was thinking I needed to get a rod the entire length of the window. I've never seen these before. Looks great!

chicoryflower, yes the rug is so pretty. The colors appear on my screen to be a greenish-blue with the darker reddish-rust color that matches the accent wall. The gold in it goes so well with the walls. And I like the pattern too!

They look AWESOME!!! It's good to see something different and done so well.
Enjoy your new space!

Very nice!!!!

Hi Lauraa........They are beautiful & I don't think they clash with the rug. It is funny , we almost have the same identical drapes , same room color, etc. They are 3 pics in my album of my drapes I bought from a fellow decorator & made a floppy , twisted, scrunched header & hung on short rods too. Enjoy your room! Bonnie

Oh my, I got busy after I posted and just now came back to the computer. Everybody, thank you so much for the compliments. I LOVE it when everything comes together. I have such a hard time trying to get everything to come together. I really am not sure of myself when it comes to decorating.

The color of the walls are Tobacco Road on top and Cottage Red on bottom.

I got the drapery rods at JC Penneys. They were $30 each. They were on sale. I bought them online. I did not see them in the store. I clicked on drapery rods and then wood. They are the Tuscany ones.

Thank you again everyone. I am going to keep the rug. I agree, I do not want everything to be matchy matchy. Now I just need to get something to put the computer on. Hubby hates the way I have it now.

Your room is beautiful and your drapes are perfect. The rod size is just what I need for my living room. I also like your colors in your room and glad you said what colors they were. I have red and yellow in my dining room, but now I think I want to repaint my two walls withTobacco Road. We have our two computers set up side by side in our formal dining room, wish I could come up with something better looking.

Wow - they look great! Did you have them made and if so, where did you find the fabric? I have been looking for some just like that. Nice job!

I love the room just the way it is. The drapes on the shorter docorative rods are perfect for that space and look great with both wall colors and your beautiful rug. I also love the white shutters. You have a beautiful room. I am sorry I can't help you with the computer situation.

Deja vu! Johnatemp posted a small section of her room on another post and it looks similar to yours. You might want to look at her rug. It's more matchy matchy, but it looks great.

Again, ladies, thank you so much.

MsRose, I saw Johnatemp's room and really like her rug. There is a rug place here that is going out of business and I am going to stop by there just to look!!!!! I just bought my rug in August but thank goodness didn't pay a ton for it. I would still like to keep it since I did just buy it and probably couldn't sell it for what I paid for it.

bcarr, I got really lucky on my drapes. I went to several fabric stores and at everyone I was picking out the same fabric. At one store they wanted over $800 to make them. Then at another store I picked out the same fabric and just happened to walk to the back of the store and they had the panels already premade. I paid $108 per panel. The panels are lined, also. If you want, I can get the stores phone number and you could call them to see if they would ship them to you. The panels are 52" wide and 96" long. Let me know.

I think it looks fantastic. I am not big into matchy matchy with rugs and draperies. I do love a collected look as if you found that great silk on your travels to one place and the rug on your travels to another.

Not sure if this would work, but it has the colors of those beautiful drapes. Love, love, love them!

kmcg85 - What a gorgeous rug! Where did you find it?

Laurie

Beautiful!!

lauraa...what brand is the tobacco paint? I love it. I love those curtains and rug together. Your colors are similar to mine.

msrose, Dumb me! When I saved it, I forgot to put in the website name. I usually do, just for this reason...so I can remember! I will search again. I was on a few rug sites yesterday, but I would start with peerless.

Debbie, Tobacco Road is a Farrell Calhoun color. Farrell Calhoun is a local paint store here. I think that they are only in the South. I have been told that Tobacco Road is an old Duron color and that Sherwin Williams should have the formula. I really love the color. I have it in my den, entry, and dining room. They really are all very open to each other. I have a darker color, Tattersall Brown, in my hubby's office which is connected to the den. Tattersall Brown is the darker color on the same strip with Tobacco Road.

Lauraa, I have the TR also, but, I was toying with the idea of using the Tattersall Brown on the inside of the white built-ins. Presently, they are TR too. If you could, would you post a pic of the Tattersall? I would love to see it! Thanks!

kmcg, here is a picture of the office. I love the color, it is very rich. Excuse the mess, I took this picture after I painted and we had just moved in. Hubby was still living in Connecticut so he had not really straightened his office up and I was not about to touch his things.

here is another picture

Laura, thankyou! It is a beautiful rich color! I'll have to put that on my "to do" list!

msrose, I remember now! The rug came from rugsdirect.com.
