So, here's the thing...

I need help. Feedback. Advice. It can be anonymous. I don't care.

In my quest to incorporate more color into the living room, I've found three rugs. They are all circlular, 5 feet in diameter, and less than $30.00. I like them all, and think any of them would work just fine for the corner I have in mind.

So, here they are:

Lovebirds

Orangey Goodness

Pretty Paisleys
Cory said, "Just get whatever one you want, if you want it that bad."

So, which should I go for? They're all on clearance, so I'm feeling some pressure to decide quickly...and that's never been one of my strong points. 

Or should I just chuck the rug idea and paint the kitchen table white? With fun colored chairs, and a bold pattern on the seat cushions....

(Or quit messing around and just write one of the four papers I have due on Thursday....)

I've only been in your living room a few times, but I vote number 3...but then again that's my style of rug, so of course I'm going to like it. However, I also like the kitchen idea.

Well, Sydney and I like the Orangey Goodness best, but Pretty Paisley is ok. Good luck!

I'm loving the Pretty Paisley! I think it gives the most color bang for your buck out of the three. Although I don't think you could go wrong with either one!

I like the orangey goodness one...but the Pretty Paisley would be good too!

I LOVE The Pretty Paisley one. Beautiful!

Becca said...

NOT lovebirds. Obviously. I don't mind being the first one to be rude enough to say that it's hideous.

But the other two are perfectly lovely.

im lovin the lovebirds. its pretty bold, but your room can handle it!! if not that, i think the table idea sounds really cute :)

Lindy said...

hahaha--I love these comments. Kourtney voted strongly for the love birds one too, but I just don't think I can pull off birds that are five feet tall on my floor.
I think Orangey goodness is winning in my book...I'm just scared to order it because what if I hate it??
Thats no way to live, I know. I'm gonna man up.

Ummmmm LOVE BIRDS! Hello! Seriously how could anyone not like that and when are you ever going to be able to get away with getting a love bird rug? Definitely not when you have three kids who are teenagers are are like, "Eww gross mom, you and dad aren't love birds, you're old!"

Point made. :)

I hope I'm not too late. I saw this last night but it was on my phone and it takes a good 20 minutes to do anything on a phone other than read on blogger. So... I like the paisley one. surprise huh? I think it has the most color. But I think the table idea would be adorable. or get a rug and paint the table the color of the rug.

Tanya said...

I vote for number two. Also, do your homework.

I like the last one! has more colors to work with! And get outta my brain with the multi colored chairs and white table! I finally found my perfect oval table but it is a HIDEOUS brown, must be painted immediatly! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Annette said...

I like them all but the orange my last choice... anyhow, you can't go wrong... but where did you find these?

freya said...

the birdies or the paisley.

i guess tend to play things safe though, so i'd probably do paisley.
but that bird one just screams "hello your home could be featured on a blog or magazine with me in it".

Annette: I found all three on clearance at urban outfitters!

Orange one!

The Hargretts said...

I'm like the 20th person to answer so it probably doesn't matter but I really like the love birds one but the painting of the table and chairs sounds like a great idea too! Also it might be less expensive too.

Becca said...

Who are you love bird freaks? Lindy listened to me, so obviously I'm a better and truer friend.

Truer even than a sister, Kourtney . . .
