Those rugs are all gorgeous and any one of them would look lovely in your home, sugar. Of course, you've known how I feel about your decorating for a long time, honey. Whatever you do always turns out exquisite. xoxo, Connie
HA! ME? Ms. 'Mix & Match' Kai give YOU an opinion about ANYTHING to do with decorating? Ele, you have THE most perfect eye for putting things together beautifully! Your new dining room look is just lovely, & ALL the rug patterns would really coordinate with the decor! PERSONALLY, I like the one with the touch of red because I think it would bring out the gleam of the chairs. But I KNOW you will choose exactly the right one! I also know if ever I am lucky enough to get to visit you, I will walk around your gorgeous home with my big mouth opened WIDE, saying, "OOOOOOOOH!!!! AHHHHHH!" until you smack me! LOL!
Hi Ele I like the first rug and the last rug.I love what you did with the kitchen/dining curtains.Love ya,Hugs,jen

Hello hello! I love your new curtains! (all of them!). I like the rug that you like, and I like this one :) http://www.csnrugs.com/Safavieh-CY2653-3202-FV1600.html
Your dining room looks great, too! Love you, Heather
Oh Ele, I LOVE those chairs and curtains!! How pretty! You did such a good job. the red of the chairs really pop with the black and white! I like the first two rugs, but I think the one you picked would look the best. I cant wait to see!
Oh Ele, it is MARVELOUS! In my Designer opinion (which doesn't count for much lol!) I would get the second rug...I think it would pull out the reds in the chair and allow you to pull other colors should you paint over the red etc...I do love the first one the best but I think it may be a bit neutral. Of course I cannot see the rest of the room, so I am basing it on just what you have shared in photos.
Have so much fun with this. I LOVE making over rooms! You need to get with Tiffany. They just bought a house there and are in the middle of remodeling it. I think it is an old victorian. She is not on her blog much, but I imagine it is from how busy they get with all the projects. She would love local help on where to shop I am sure! I hope to come visit soon, and we will have to plan a get together!
Hello Ele, how pretty everything looks, you have a great eye for decorating! I like the first rug the best. I love your curtains. In your previous post I love your leaded glass window. We met a lady at the beach last year that has an antique store and sells them. She took Ed and I on a tour of her home and I wished I had my camera. She had one hanging in front of every window, no curtains in her house, she used rippled ones in bathroom, then she also used them as dividers in rooms. Just beautiful! Love ya, Shirl Shirls Rose Cottage
I am so happy you joined my blog as a follower. And I thrilled to have found your blog. I love you style. I love the room where you made the curtians. I think it's perfect and totally understand why you find to clam and relaxing.
Hi Ele, I love your makeover and of course I love the toile. I pick the second rug with the pop of red in it. The curtains are fabulous. Thanks for sharing the link. Hugs, Celestina Marie

I love what you have done. But then black and white are my two favorite color combinations. It's what I have done my whole house in! I really like the first two rugs. But the third would work fine too. I sure enjoy following your blog. Hope you get a chance to check my out some time. xoxo Nancy
Ele, this room is just beautiful! I soooo love the new drapes! You just can't beat that damask look! I vote for the first rug if you want a classic look, the 2nd if you want more informality for the room!! I don't think you'd go wrong with either.
oh gosh choices choices!!! Ele my eye went straight to the second one, but I do like the third too... oh and the first! ok, number 2 my first choice, number 3 my second choice. be sure to let us know which one you get!
Very nice prints. Matching of the curtain and the chair upholster is very nice. Wonderful work.

The kitchen window and my favorite red chairs received a makeover.
[Image]You can see the part of the valance that used to be on the window, below. The table is turned a different direction. The fabric that used to be on the chairs is a little more subdued. [Image]I love the black and taupe fabric. You can't really see it, but this fabric has beautiful texture. The black is velvety and raised. I sewed the damask fabric to the top of a gorgeous silk that matches the wall color exactly. [Image][Image]CSN Rugs.comhas a variety of area rugsavailable. I'm thinking of this one,

First time to your blog! Love your taste in decorating. I prefer the middle rug -- has some other colors that add a bit of pop to the design.
