I took a vote and everyone agrees the ceiling is the best part of the room followed by the floors.<br />I found a nice sisal 8x10 rug at Home Depot for $150 which was amazing, its synthetic because I have a family and pets and real sisal would not stand up to them.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxmMlOjm65KwhCBATcmQ_TS8_z_liMl_1G5Pugvr5MXudCKBOXnkealv9UjTZy3eJnrASa2mRTwgxFOjoeBJrP13OdTkie9P8LWHScWVwcQ7dBUwtupIA9RuvJ4np6SyF5724GBPOEKyJQ/s1600/photo+1+(8).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxmMlOjm65KwhCBATcmQ_TS8_z_liMl_1G5Pugvr5MXudCKBOXnkealv9UjTZy3eJnrASa2mRTwgxFOjoeBJrP13OdTkie9P8LWHScWVwcQ7dBUwtupIA9RuvJ4np6SyF5724GBPOEKyJQ/s640/photo+1+(8).jpg" width="640" /></a></div> I moved the grey ektorp arm chair into the family room and we decided to leave the settee out of the room to keep it more open, we did lose seating for one but hopefully we will get that new longer sofa and we will gain back that lost seating. The room this way feels so much better now and all dressed for Christmas its lovely. You may notice I also changed out the lamps, I decided to try the dining room lamps and I love them with the burlap shades.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQcaP-jx-cbVj9nixJTyv7ZQNjN9GSZq6azRdVX1-kOsdenUhaZBRBbRj30m8ZBJBnhni42EW2Bzr8m3rKnJ3Eemhf0ZO77EboWPT4NP6ZLT6cZuiPHSyhWNd4b5SzzJ5Q0qnUZXe3P_k_/s1600/a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQcaP-jx-cbVj9nixJTyv7ZQNjN9GSZq6azRdVX1-kOsdenUhaZBRBbRj30m8ZBJBnhni42EW2Bzr8m3rKnJ3Eemhf0ZO77EboWPT4NP6ZLT6cZuiPHSyhWNd4b5SzzJ5Q0qnUZXe3P_k_/s640/a.jpg" width="480" /></a></div> Here is a good look at the floors I am so happy to have wood throughout this space now.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmGAuFmZmR4E1oWSXMFHL9sDsG3hO02ZcNwZ6-wswW9Nl_Xa5RPyOXDRJtMbMYaktZHuq4EwSJTXSp1CnskJvgJJ6A-lCDqDXafZPV5eXwkZ3E0ZKgZJOqulXd_GHpixHWbh6cqrWlV6U/s1600/photo+3+(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmGAuFmZmR4E1oWSXMFHL9sDsG3hO02ZcNwZ6-wswW9Nl_Xa5RPyOXDRJtMbMYaktZHuq4EwSJTXSp1CnskJvgJJ6A-lCDqDXafZPV5eXwkZ3E0ZKgZJOqulXd_GHpixHWbh6cqrWlV6U/s640/photo+3+(6).jpg" width="480" /></a></div> I am so looking forward to my new coffee table, my hubby ordered it for me after returning that chair I mentioned earlier.
