I think it depends on whether you need to pump up the contrast in the room, or tone it down. Hard to tell from pics! The other rugs feel a little braided country to me (no offense!)<br /><br />By the way, the first blog I went to of the same name as yours plus a hyphen frightened me. Very much.

I like #5 a lot too, but I think that it might be a little small. I wish I could see them in person before making a final decision. <br /><br />Might go check out Old Time too. Thanks Mr. Mod. I went to their website and prices seemed pretty reasonable.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-18865912368227751762012-01-16T22:50:49.512-08:002012-01-16T22:50:49.512-08:00Take a little trip up north here (Florissant) and ...Take a little trip up north here (Florissant) and drop by Old Time Pottery.

I also love #9. I have a 5x8 rug in front of my sofa, and find that it's wide enough to extend beyond the ends of the sofa and deep enough to put the front legs of the sofa on it and still have plenty of walking room between the coffee table and sofa, as well as plenty of rug on the other side of the coffee table. Depending on the width of your room, a 5x7 may be a good size. My living room is long and narrow (just a little over 11' wide), so an 8x10 is too big for my space.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-26189590264612975412012-01-15T12:05:14.747-08:002012-01-15T12:05:14.747-08:00With the pillows you selected I would go with #5 o...With the pillows you selected I would go with #5 or #7 but I like #10 best for tying together the furniture color palette. I would also suggest you consider a larger rug size like 8x10 to really define the room and sit under the front legs of the furniture. You might also check out Flor.com for some great carpet tiles that are reasonably affordable. It's going to look great - cheers- CTCThttp://www.livinganalog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-22454724379601129462012-01-15T11:45:15.509-08:002012-01-15T11:45:15.509-08:00#9 would be my choice#9 would be my choiceMrs. Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-18502456992912595602012-01-15T10:54:16.661-08:002012-01-15T10:54:16.661-08:002 would likely tie in the mustard chair and the so...2 would likely tie in the mustard chair and the sofa best.sparrowstypewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845828186444984743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-40144179656631376082012-01-15T10:52:45.910-08:002012-01-15T10:52:45.910-08:00Numbers 2, 5, 7.Numbers 2, 5, 7.sparrowstypewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845828186444984743noreply@blogger.com
