Area rugs

Monday, July 14, 2008

Okay,

Audio cabinet is almost assembled. I'm not putting the door on until my neighbor returns from vacation because...I can't figure out how to re-hook the electronics to the TV. I was soooo careful to tape color post-it's to most of the cords, but I didn't get all of them apparently. Cords may be like rabbits...multiplying when one isn't looking.

But now I'm pondering the mystery of area rugs. A friend said the room needed one to anchor the furniture, but I don't know anything about the rule of thumb of dimensions. Should it big enough that the furniture rests on the edges? Leave a clear space?

It's not anything I've paid attention to on HGTV before so now, unless someone knows here, I'm going to have start catching more shows.

I also hung my Italy photos on one wall. Here's anothe makeover Murphy's law: no matter how carefully you measure, the stupid pictures still move off-kilter after I hammered in the nail. Now I have to do a bit of touch-up paint.

But I love the room!!!! :) Carol
