    Sorry I didn't comment back last night about turning the rug. Your rug ties the room together and makes a conversation area. To make it fit correctly, it is best that all the chairs and furniture set at least partially on the rug. Since your furniture is oriented along the long wall your rug should be too. All of the furniture should have at least the front legs setting on the rug. I like how your room is turning out.

    PS don't go overboard with the accessories You have just about all the items the room will hold now. Not every corner needs to be filled. Leaving empty space gives the feeling of space. There is no room for the ladder shelf and only one wagon wheel placed next to the TV please.

      One little turn of that chair and it FITS! Margo, do you love it????
    • 13 years ago
      Could you scoot the chaise down a bit towards the tv and a bit to the couch. Set the big red canister in the window behind the chaise in the corner . send pic ;) You are such a good sport!

      This looks awkward to me. Such a big area for the chaise. May need to add something
    • 13 years ago
      Boring Tuesday night lol
    • 13 years ago
      Boom
    • 13 years ago
      You need a small chest to sit on that low wall or a short bookcase.

      I like the canister in the corner but the chaise is not angled quite right. Move it a bit to the left if you are standing in front of it. Keeping it angled in
    • 13 years ago
      I agree I definitely need something. No more chairs?

      Is the height of the end table by the chaise throwing the chaise off?
    • 13 years ago
      A little further
    • 13 years ago
      I love the ideas we need new lamps and i have a ladder shelf im sticking in the corner of the room and we are looking for a wagon wheel to sit on the floor under the floating shelf . I want to get old pottery to sit on the shelves along with a big canvas painting above the couch however they are quite expensve . I was thinking red for the curtains to give it a pop!
    • 13 years ago
      Angle the foot area towards the center of the rug. A bit of a swivel, we are almost there.
    • 13 years ago
      There she is!
    • 13 years ago
      Margo- i like the plant back n the window however a chest would look nice or a floor lamp
    • 13 years ago
      Abra cadabra
    • 13 years ago
      .
    • 13 years ago
      Or a bench with pillows agaimst that open window:)
    • 13 years ago
      Yes , the plant is hidden now. Back she goes:)
    • 13 years ago
      The angle of the chair matches the angle of the pattern in the middle of the rug!
    • 13 years ago
      The chaise is now angled right :) So now what was your original post question?
    • 13 years ago
      Are we all in agreement with the arrangement of the furniture that is present?

      Margo is right about something on that short wall. You have an outlet so use two candlestick lamps to fill that opening. The dried arrangement looks better on the floor.
    • 13 years ago
      ONE LITTLE question......the angle of the table by the leather recliner and couch? Leave it angled? Kiddy whampus?
    • 13 years ago
      last modified: 13 years ago
      Gosh, darn, Margo! I love the couch and the recliner right where they are and am amazed with the turn of that chair. AND the angle of the chaise totally works, too. This has my vote! Think I like the vase up high so it shows and gives that splash of color right there. It was just too hidden. THANKS for moving the colored pillow on the chaise, too. Happy Dance. Where are the drinks for this boring Tuesday night now???
    • 13 years ago
      abbyjean- good catch. I forgot all about that end table. It needs to come into the rug a bit too. angle or no angle?
    • 13 years ago
      last modified: 13 years ago
      Wall decor and throw pillows. Save your money for the canvas you are dreaming of. Hey......a wedding present!!!! LOL Throw pillows for the leather? You can still play with the rug color going on there. WHAT A NICE ROOM!
    • 13 years ago
      If the table stays right there, in the middle, I say NO angle. IF it moves closer to the chair, angle, but the other way.
    • 13 years ago
      JEFF- we are not done yet...move the end table between the sofa and the recliner so that the ends of the end table meet the sofa arm and the recliner arm. Try it.
    • 13 years ago
      Haha bout to have a drink! Original questions was what to fill the open space above the couch with. Not that we have why we have in addition what to do with the space between the two rooms! This is fun! Lol
    • 13 years ago
      Here you go
    • 13 years ago

    • 13 years ago
      You need a coffee table, preferably something interesting and with a story, like an old railray cart maybe.

      Good Morning, I am up early, I must be over stimulated from last nights activities LOL. Jeff and Whitney, I hope you both enjoy the journey of designing your place. Thanks Abbyjean for joining in and making it fun, you are always so positive and upbeat;)

      As far as the kitchen and bedroom challenge- bring it on....we'll be here. Abbyjean, are you in?

      The only way I know is to go to my profile and hit *follow* and then I can hit *follow back*. I think you can also message someone. So you could message a new post alert. Maybe abbyjean knows more :) Try it!
    • 13 years ago
      p.s. I will go look for your posts ;)
    • 13 years ago
      Yup that's it. Didn't have that option on the iPhone app.

      Great "Peel & Stick" wall tiles, very DIY, basically stickers!
    • 13 years ago
      I would look to add a pop of color with some art above the couch! There is an iPad app that lets you take a picture of your wall and visualize original art hanging in your room. Super helpful - you can find it at www.arttwo50.com.
    • 13 years ago
      LOVE your ideas to finish off the room and would love to see the ladder shelf when it gets there and that wagon wheel, too!
    • 13 years ago
      I found some possibilites for art. These canvas prints can be ordered in different sizes from http://fineartamerica.com/art/all/southwestern/canvas+prints Some are prints of paintings, others are photographic prints--lots more where these come from

      How is the room looking? I would suggest an 'Autumn Red' mohair throw on your sofa would work well. (From our Everyday Luxury selection : http://mohairsandmore.com/100-everyday-luxury-mohair-throw-blankets/ )
