I say the rug stays. It IS gorgeous. But then I'm not a perfectionist, so I probably wouldn't care if it didn't match the painting. LOL!
Well, okay, maybe I would care a little. Or not, depending upon how much I like the painting.
Painting? Rug? Painting? Rug? I'm bad at making decisions, can you tell? Can't handle the pressure. I'm going for coffee.
Yes, I love the rug too!
And if I had a nickel for every time I did the same thing...:-)
Long live the Color Blind!
You know, this reminds me of an Oprah show where they remade a room on a "budget" and centralized it around one theme - it was so beautiful and then Oprah goes "and this was all done on a budget! Beautiful things can be created on a budget, ladies! and this budget was ..." she turns expectantly to the designer who screams out in pure joy "only ten-thousand dollars!!" Needless to say, i stuck my foot through the tv screen.
So ... I say get creative on a REAL budget, but keep the carpet. What better excuse to shake things up a bit and redecorate.
Can't you find something--a centerpiece maybe--that would tie the rug and the painting together? Do they have a common color? I'm NOT a perfectionist and I don't think I have a very good eye for color, but my decorating mantra is "if I love it, I'll make it work." : ) The rug is gorgeous and I love the dining set too.
Hey, Kristen--many a room has had its inspiration point the rug. Like Deb said, find a common color between the painting and the rug. Most Persian rugs are multicolored. Then go buy some silk flowers and make yourself an arrangement to tie it all together!
And if it doesn't QUITE work -- don't worry. Just tell everyone it DOES match. After all, you're a fiction writer!
Unfurl the rug! I demand you enjoy the colors and design. Hang the painting you love, too. Eclectic is in! Haven't you heard they're coming back with Harvest Gold appliances?
very, very pretty rug!
my rug is perfect because i bought it cheap at an auction and it was so old and splotchy, i knew i'd never worry when the kids made a mess on it.
Happy Mother's Day Colleen, Kristin, Diann and Denise! I hope you have a wonderful day with your families and they spoil you like you deserve. :)
i was delighted to see your newest in the book store today! (and yes. of course i bought its hot pink gorgeousness.) my two year old thinks it's his, though, since he got to carry it in the store. it's nowhere to be found, which probably means it's in his room now, and i can't get it without waking him up. gah.
Kris...you mean our decor is supposed to match? Oh mercy me, never come and visit me. You'd go into shock! LOL
