However, I took a couple of photos when I put down the 8x10 rug to get an idea of what it looked like with the ten feet running lengthwise. Then, I decided to turn the carpet around to see what it looked like with the eight feet running lengthwise and realised it didn't look right. That's also when I realised I had FILM in my camera and wouldn't be able to post any pictures for your input until long after I needed to make the decision!
So, the film is finally developed, the pictures scanned into the computer. Here's a picture of the way I decided it should go--positioned with the ten feet running lengthwise--the eight feet running from under the couch to the chairs by the window. It mimics the shape of the room and makes sense. I took a shot from far away and at a bit of a low angle, just so Anne could see how far under the couch it goes.
I never would have imagined how much a rug "completes" the room. I've since added the couch cushions back to the couch, purchased some very nice pillows (in orange) and put up my "winter" brown drapes. There's a red Poinsettia on the ottoman too. It's quite cheery. I wish I could show you that.
Wowza! It does complete the room!
ReplyDeleteGet yourself a new digital camera and show us the poinsettia already!
Lovely! How nice for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love it love it love it! Homey and cozy and tidy. And the rug just finishes it off. I would want it about six inches further under the couch though and a little farther from the curtains. But that's just me. I am having the opposite problem with my rug - I want it farther under the couch but I can't move the couch by myself so it's not going anywhere right now.
