And you don’t even have to draw it

Number 4 is my fav

It’s like what I think and what y’all think rolled in one (no pun)

I’ll call about that one

They don’t have it and it won’t be restocked..just square and won’t look as good

Can you just put 4 pictures up with #s 1-4 of your favorites. It's way too confusing as is. Just YOUR 4 finalists! It's your house, but if you want our comments on your finalists you'll get it. Our favorites don't matter at all if they are not your finalists.

Interesting and a lot less

I hate it- the Rossi you just posted

Typo- Rossi. It's ugly.

Damn spell check. The RossO.

Oh hey there. Im going to have lunch first. Take it easy on Ellen, she sure tries. Lol

Ellen has given you great advice. I’ve never said or thought differently if your comment on “taking it easy on Ellen” was directed to me. You just asked for opinions and that’s all anyone has tried to do, she more than everyone. Which rug is the “first Utopia” one Ellen just mentioned above that she likes? I think she and I pretty much agree on what the room needs, which doesn’t mean our favorites would be exactly the same or should be. Bottom line is it’s your decision. not ours.

I have a dry funny bone pandtkendall..no worries :)

The first utopia is this

I like the first utopia you posted as well. It has your blues and your reds. It's also polypropylene, which means it's super easy to keep clean. You can even take it outside and hose it off if you need to!

Plus

Here’s the first utopia with some things I bought..to return or keep. I can’t return the planter or canvas.

'I like it Chris. It seems to work well with everything. Don't forget that everything won't be sitting on top of the rug and it doesn't need to match exactly-just coordinate. I have about 7 shades of aqua in my house but it all works because they all coordinate.

Kate I appreciate that very much..but the I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the loud colors. I just want to know one final thing then I’m done with everything and I will post pics in about ten days....does this look okay for my kitchen..not perfect..just okay..

I like the first Utopia, too. Very pretty colors that go well with everything. Do you like it, Chris? Please read Kate's post again. You are always soooo hung up on every drop of color "matching". One drop of aqua in something and it doesn't "go" because your salt and peppers are teal. You have to look at what colors coordinate with each other. Teals and aquas are both blue/greens and various shades of blue/green are great together, light and dark, then add a touch of emerald green and or cobalt blue and you can have a great room. Go across the color wheel from blue and you find an orange you like. I don't expect you to do all that, but Kate is so right- you've got to get over looking at a tiny bit of a color that will be on the floor and stop worrying about a teal pepper mill. You can have both and an interesting beautiful room by using colors that coordinate but are different. You don't the same hue for each item in the room and that's all. Like Katie my house decor is primarily blue/ green and green/blues. Lots of shades of each and they all coordinate from very pale blue/green and green/blue wall paints to bright art with aquas and ocean blues. STOP looking at every drop of color to be sure it's exactly like something else in the room. Or I'll come back to Atlanta and bop you one on the head. It won't be pretty, believe me, if I have to do that!

I didn't see your last post, Chris, till mine was posted. I'm glad you made your decision and please do post pictures.

Chris, the rug you keep coming back to is lovely and if you love it, it will work. Go for it and you won't regret it!

Overruled! Loving the idea of a fluid, whirling vortex of aquas, greens, burgundy’s and black!

You three are awesome!

Ps. I’m not supposed to play favorites but Ellen you have been super duper cool. Thank you all so much and especially you!

Thank you Vineet at Oriental Designer Rugs for helping with my order

You are welcome Chris, I see you have gone thru a lot of contemplation before deciding on the round. Let us know if we can be of more help in the future.

Hi, Chris. Did you get your new rug yet? You promised us photos of the new room! Hope all is well.

Hi there pandtkendall, I sure did. I haven’t quite finished yet but here is the rug and all of Ellen’s handiwork. Ellen you did a fantastic job and I am so proud. I’ll post more pics when I finish. I hope you’re doing well pandtkendall..ty

The rug is perfect for the space. I like the way it grounds everything. Good choice!

Glad it worked out for you.

Thanks all..Ellen it’s the candle for that hurricane glass. The funny thing about it is there’s a rather large hump at the bottom of the glass making it impossible to stand straight up. It just falls against the the side, not a little..a lot! Yep, it’s cheesy, tinny, razor sharp at the bottom and my most epic internet-purchase fail!

I’m looking forward to posting a few more pics a later next week...how do you like your staged envelopes! They really put me in touch with my feminine side. Not that there’s anything wrong with that lol!!! But yea, I’m super quick to defer credit on that idea ;). In fact, all I did was the rug and the rug would’ve been drapes if it weren’t for pandtkendall..who I think hates it lmbo! As long as Kat likes it..I’m cool! That made my day!

I’ll post more pics soon

I don't hate it at all! And no drapes are needed with plantation shutters!

I know it but to beat it all the candle won’t stand unless the bottom is hollowed out. You know how you can drip wax and stick it? Nope, too heavy.

I’ll post more pics in this week. I still need somthing on the shutter walls don’t I? I’ll probably look at frames for a couple family pics to go on the left side. Wondering what color to paint them?? Trim white, a red or maybe teal/blue??

‘In any case, you suggested keeping the right side (by the canvas) empty? Still your thinking?

Also, I’m looking at vinyl wall decal for the fridge wall in a lite blue:

‘Vonna’s Kitchen’ or something...fun and colorful. No?

Chris, the space looks picture perfect!

Completely agree with those saying the first thing to do would be to update your lighting. The space is reading so warm right now and very yellow. Once it's a bit cooler, I think incorporating some teal would look beautiful.

Just want to update everyone who following..still haven’t gotten around to to finishing as we’ve been focused on health stuff..

I’ll get on the frames and things ASAP..

Hi Ellen!

What paint color did you use? Love it! CMA67 A
