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

My local Carpet Choices carpet supplier organised overlocking of some wool sisal carpet for me. Maybe try your close carpet suppliers. Its probably not something they'll advertise on the web. You'll need to ring them.

Hi the walls are magnolia, the floor is light floorboards. There is also dark wood bookcases and fireplace, dark TV entertainment unit and a old chest which is black. I have a vintage brass coffee table that I love. The only other sitting furniture I'm not that keen on keeping. I am thinking navy or grey sofa. I do love teal but worry that I might get sick of it!
