Ok, strike that, reverse it....

Work in progress....

So I received the new Pottery Barn catalog and when I walked back into my dining room, I realized that the rug from my inspiration room is very similar to my rug in the living room. Quick fix, right???

Ten minutes later, I like this a lot better. Love the plushy feel of the Craig's List rug in my living room, and I love the look of the red bordered Walmart rug under my dark dining table. Simple, but definitely a good start to this room.

Let's look again at PB's inspiration room...

PB Evan rug $379
PB casual drapes $ 78
PB chandelier $399

And here is my dining room...
Similar drapes, similar rug, pseudo-similar table...

1. Chair cushions
