Breakfast Room Blah

I moved the Persian rug that used to be in our bedroom to the breakfast area. I'm not really lovin' it...a sentiment which often arises when you're trying to make do with what you already have!

It definitely doesn't mesh with the orange striped rug, but that's a factor that will likely change.

I adore the rug, however, it's a more formal look than I was going for. Once the Jonathan Adler rug for the den arrives, I'll be able to do more rug swapping and hopefully will figure out a solution. If not, maybe I'll go with something like this Nate Berkus rug from HSN - only $59 for an 8x10' - which is about as cheap as they come!
 
Uuugh...I seriously need to get window treatments up...that will probably help with the general malaise of the area. I'd love to have a team of helpful little elves at my disposal :)

  2. I love what you're doing to your house. We are in the midst of a remodel/redesign/redecor and your blog has been an inspiration. I noticed that your rangetop is on your peninsula and we're contemplating putting ours there as well. The only difference is that our peninsula will face the family room. Is that placement working out for you? I take it you have a downdraft. Would appreciate your two cents. Thanks.
