Hi Deco Everything that I have collected part from the dining set which was an investment has been from garage sales. So I am quite happy to part with everything... I think the most expensive was $10.00. My problem is that I cant focus because you are right. I just have too much going on in different styles. Going with the style of the dining table - where do you think I should head with rug choices from everything I am reading - it says I should zone out the room?? I am staying away from leather couches and heading towards a cotton fabric. I really just want the space to be comfortable. Thanks for the tip about the ideabook. I've been collecting here and then, but mainly watching how people solve their dilemmas. I look but don't comment much.

Seen it before but couldn't say where. A vaguely similar, but more elongated pattern, is available here http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-Made-Geometric-Pattern-Ivory-Gray-Wool-Art-Silk-Rug-5X8/8573249/product.html

I don't know about it , can you change it, you can have modern and different but I think your tv unit is mid century style and table is Well I don't know what style it is than you say you want tribal . As someone suggested earlier , stop shopping before you move in it might be all wrong and your taste and ideas might change by then. Trick in decorating is to be patient and only buy when you are absolutely sure that you can take it back. Ha ha.

I must be the OCD one -- Oak sounds nice , and looks nice , BUT the armchair is darker toned and a different style to the rest ; the coffee tables are the lightest ; the floating unit is in-between colour wise , the chevrons are nice but they don't relate to anything else in the room . By comparison , the couches , the sideboard ( that can't be seen in the latest pic ) and any 1 of the lighter toned items would work , or all three IF they were the same tone and style , would work as they are similar styles , and work together IMO . And a curve-ball -- the shutters in the same white as the walls means the shutters lose 90% of their effect . IF you had done the shutters in oak , and ALL the oak matched ( even if it was all stained darker it would be better , but similar styles / eras would be even better ) iot would look a lot better IMO . But I am weird , and I am OCD haha .
