Living Room Rug

The right rug can make all the difference in how a room looks.  We originally had a much darker rug in this room, which we've since moved to the study, but have replaced it with this one.

It's a lighter color that matches the floor but at the same time brings in the colors of the items in the room.  We have also since put back the glass table with the flowers in it.  We added  some blue ones to tie into the rug better since they were pretty much tan, browns, and reds in a brown pot.

The change was in response to one of our friends who insisted we change the rug.  This rug is also bigger that the previous one and takes up more space.  We thought about turning it the other way but this is the direction you would come into the room from usually and it just makes more sense.  Also the kitchen is to the right and we are wanting to get some bar stools for that area.  It makes more sense to have it this way and keep the stools off of the rug.

The kittens are also getting bigger so we've opened up the blinds more too.  It gives a good view of the back yard which we still haven't done much with.  We're trying to plan better with this house so we're taking it slow and not overwhelming ourselves too much with clutter.
