    Is that ok if the rust will take over the whole dinning room tho? Cuz that room is a 8x10 and the rug is 7'6x9'6

    It should look good! The point is when you pull out the chair to sit - should pretty much still be touching rug.. have a look. Oh, at my home ( I used a Benjamin moore colour BLUFF CC-338 ( in most of the house - But the next coulour down Wild Mushroom CC-336 ( in the dining room - Master Bed and on the wall with the 3 sided fire place.. a bit darker shade which during the day is noticeable and at night the whole place sort of look the same colour..

    The hide could always work with the office desk! I have a hide in our office/music room. I noticed you had a chair that was tannish colour and cream pillow.. they work together.. You do have many lovely pieces - it's just to play and put them together.

    gaussie71 - what an incredible home you have! Lilli - yes: rust rug in Dining room - it should key in there nicely with the rust/red print you have.
    The skin would look great in the office area.
    If you don't love the blue print chair in living room, why not move it/exchange it with the dark leather in the office and/or the "sling" chair. (maybe both?) Move either of those to your living room, and try the greenish rug from the dining area there too first. I say no go on the other rug (red with black and white medallions). How would you feel about this one?
    I'd say your style was seriously eclectic!
  • 13 years ago
    I would put the pictures in the bathroom. I would maybe put a nice colorful of kids artwork or something fun and colorful!
  • 13 years ago
    Ty girl I will post picture of all the moving around later so you guys suggest which one looks better! I already put the shell picture in the bathroom and one in my daughter closet it actually look pretty cute there! Ty for that rug suggestion I have seen those before but I was never attracted to colorful rugs but I don't know it may look nice if I ever try something like it

    try to give an accent that can be rock your room to be interesting looking :).. try red, dark brown and redwood tone for the accent

    By the way, I would return the sea shell prints. Your husband is right (how unusual!), they look a little like they'd go in the bathroom of a beach house. If you can't return (tho it looks like you can because they are still wrapped) I would put them each in a wooden frame with a really big matte around them, or together in an even bigger frame with a double window matte. But that's a lot of trouble to go to if you can just return them. They are not special enough for your whimsical, thoughtful style.
  • 13 years ago
    Well I should have read your most recent comment - you've hung the shell pictures! Still, consider re-matting them to make them look more distinctive? You can paint the frames, too. (With all that spare time you probably don't have :))
  • 13 years ago
    alright ladys, i most say i had alot of fun doing this, lets start with living room and the green rug with all 3 accent chairs! which one looks better? oh and those two pictures against the wall i had in my cold room, i put them there so see if you guys thinks they could work or not around here!

    With the rust rug, my favorite...Don't like the two chairs next to each other. .blue chair in the office
  • 13 years ago
    Got ya. Interesting.:-)
  • 13 years ago
    I like the blue chair in the office, but the blue chair is good wherever you put it. Like the other rug better than the green/sage rug. And then the leather chair would go better also.. Hope that makes sense
  • 13 years ago
    Lilly! So, I see you and hubby have been busy! I really like how the dining room has come together! How do you feel about it now? Sometimes it also helps to leave the changes you have made for a couple of days- to see how the natural light ( day) and the artificial plays on the furniture and space..
  • 13 years ago
    Lilly - how do you feel about the Oriental style rug you moved over from the office? I think it makes the living area more elegant! the blue chair could still work as well. Now you have the opportunity to play up some of the colours in the rug on the sofa and pull the look together.
  • 13 years ago
    I did like it, not so much with the blue chair, I liked it better with the brown tho
  • 13 years ago
    Lilly, sounds great! it's a start- and at the end of the day, you'll have to live with the look! the fun is in moving things around and being surprised! how about your dining room?

    I think the rug could work with the blue chair if you switched out all your pillows and found some in rust and blue. I would not put up that picture with the green frame. Too many colors going on. Calico Corners and similar fabric stores can make pillows for you. Just keep the colors to what you already have in the rug and chair.
  • 13 years ago
    Yes yes yes!!! So happy n so thankful for all the help and ideas. I never though of moving my things around.... I love it all. When I'm ready to buy and hang curtain I'll open a new post, in a few months. I need to save money for it. :-) but for now I'm happy with what I have Ty Ty Ty I appreciate everyone's time and suggestion :-)

    Hi Lilly - I was gone all day, just seeing all the new pix now. I LOVE the green rug in you LR, LOVE the rust one in your dining (so much better to go bigger in there). LOVE the sling chair in LR, LOVE the blue chair and skin in office. !!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, you can do almost anything pillow/throw/art wise in your LR - what fun!
  • 13 years ago
    Love the rust rug in the dining room ! Work with the art and the right size for the table. What synchronicity that switch rugs and chairs worked so well. The leather chair works well either place too.
  • 13 years ago
    I like the rust rug in the dining room. Leave it there. Skin in the office with the leather chair.
    The green rug and blue chair in the living room compliment the sofa style. Look at "blue And green pics" on here to see how they go together. You could frame one of the large botanical pics in a green frame to match the rug color. Or re-paint the boxes to match the rug color. Use citrus color pillows on the sofa, green, yellow, tangerine and the blue. Use these colors on the shelf unit. You had a few items here, in the original pics. Try these. A couple green plants also.
  • 13 years ago
    b/w tell me whether that center light in your living room is a white one or yellowish sort like the lamp? please match to lamp if it is different..... (a must wihtin one room)

    also, pleassssse go 'warm n cosy' with the decor.. your place is spacious looking, that's why :) (y)

    Lilly - I really like the rust rug under the dining table. One thing that helped pull my rug under my table was to set the table. I don't use the napkins so they just get quickly swept aside for dinner. I like the hard placemats because they are easy to clean and don't slip around.

    I think the oriental rug in the family room is making it look formal and doesn't match the feel of the entertainment center. I think the blue chair and the green rug will work together now. Get some pillows to tie those to colors in would work and then using those same colors when accenting the entertainment center. Rather than have the blue chair by the windows, could it it go on the other side with a table connecting it to the couch?
  • 13 years ago
    I vote green rug, blue chair in the living room. They're fresh and lovely together. Then just pull those colors into pillows for the couch and into your white entertainment center. Maybe paint those red boxes (easy with spray paint!) blue or green?
  • 13 years ago
    Ty ladies well I did end up having the blue and green I like the look of it. I didn't put any pillows yet I hang family picture and a big art by the EC on the right side. I'll post pix later:-) I haven't put anything on my dinning room table for the reason my daughter love going on the table and pull things down

    Hi Lily, is being busy for me the last couple day. So I'm just seeing all the post, boy! I sure did miss out on a lot. ;-) Love the rust rug n the dining area, also like the blue or the tan leather chair for the living room , but don't really care for the oriental area rug . Maybe a little paint color for the dining area , I would do drapery for living area and the area behind n some roman shades would make the room appear cozy & full ..not to cold.Those other artwork are pretty but I would do them n a bedroom or maybe the office. The black chair definetly belongs n the office area like the cowhide rug n the office.
    Can't wait to see your results.
  • 13 years ago
    Lily, I just a few pics of your kitchen & the stairwell, living area.You truley have a gorgeous home.
    I would put a mirror one that wall where that stairwell would make the room appear larger. They have
    a website calledd Joss & Main they have really nice things. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
  • 13 years ago
    @ Janet, you suggested to put the blue chair on the other side of the room i came up with this! what do you think? oh i had put up that art on my wall for now but im thinking switch the one on top is a sage color leaves, with a green frame, but i could switch around frames and print to what ever looks better.
  • 13 years ago
    I saw the picture of the rusted rug with the sofa.. I love it brings life to your living room.. it looks inviting, ROCKS.. But it is completely up to you. It shows 2 personalities one of Fun Lilly, and the other one is Peaceful Lilly.. either way they are both great. I like Fun Lilly :)

    I think the coral rug looks best in your L. Room, but that is only my opinion. :) You seem to have a Global-Traditional style. Very cute! :-) I really love the wall color throughout your house. It's like the PERFECT neutral...gorgeous!!!
  • 13 years ago
    I like the rust area rug n the dining & living area , maybe just purachase another one the you adore
    for the living area , i really like the color toss pillows for the sofa, maybe find a rug and pull some of those colors from the rug to the sofa then add the other colors to complement your artwork as well.
  • 13 years ago
    i think it needs some color like a blue or green rug to bring in the color
  • 13 years ago
    Lilly, you said you like the green rug and blue chair. Keep what You like! The sling chair looks good in there also, infront of the window. Bring the blue into it with a pillow on the chair. Your original colorful picture would punch it up, if you would rather go there than the softer one with the green frams. Do what feels best for you. You cAn always change out the artwork seasonally once you have yourbasic furniture in place. Have fun.
  • 13 years ago
    If both chairs were removed, which side of the room would have less color? Put the blue chair in that spot, whichever it is.
  • 13 years ago
    Paint looks like a color place paint called dusty lane. I think some teals, sage, lavender purples, periwinkle blue would look great as throws & pillows to soften the room & pull together the furniture & wall colors.
  • 13 years ago
    I know I am a little late to this party but I have to say that I think the rust rug looks fantastic in your room with the blue chair! Just my two cents!
