Thanks! Your feedback is definitely food for thought since I'd pretty much decided to give up on the kantha. I'll be posting some additional possibilities soon! <br /><br />I can't WAIT to see you dark paint!

Even if the Kantha is folded over a sofa arm like a throw it would still be seen, but not obviously. The cowhide is good in the room, but maybe not layered over the other rug? As far as pillows, I like the two solid pink ones bc they're such a vibrant color. They'd round out the Kantha and ikat pillows beautifully. Are there any other chairs in the room? If you're looking to add another pattern maybe you could do that with pillows on additional chairs? <br /><br />I'm in the process of painting my family room and kitchen dark navy. It's going to be the shiz. I'll be posting sometime soon on it, I'd love your feedback.:)Lindsay@domicile{blog}http://www.domicileblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267165268590799235.post-76793456072277872932012-10-31T15:52:56.377-04:002012-10-31T15:52:56.377-04:00Actually sans plant with the sofa moved over was t...Actually sans plant with the sofa moved over was the way it was previously but it looked surprisingly bare. I'll send you a pic! <br /><br />I like the kilim pillow too actually - my only worry is it being very similar to the rug but not the same colours. I'm thinking that would be fine though honestly. We'll see. I'm in a crazy "I'm starting from scratch"! kinda mood today so I need to get over that :PElyse | Peonies and Brasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485280550391518201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267165268590799235.post-34981541982505825132012-10-31T15:09:30.182-04:002012-10-31T15:09:30.182-04:00The second one from the top in your combo examples...The second one from the top in your combo examples--the killim-style one. I like that it has some sort of manly/higher pigmented colors to sort of balance the pastels/feminine colors.<br /><br />I wonder if maybe you could move that large plant elsewhere in the room, shift the sofa to the left to give everything a little more 'breathing room,' and see if anything looks different without that large green presence? Definitely hear you on the rug, they're crazy expensive! :)<br /><br />Or what about making pillows out of the kantha if you like those prints together?Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324355192617091726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267165268590799235.post-85016950247469086772012-10-31T11:47:22.701-04:002012-10-31T11:47:22.701-04:00Yeah I'd love to get a larger rug for undernea...Yeah I'd love to get a larger rug for underneath. Unfortunately at this point it's a budget things but maybe soon . . . That one is just the rug that used to be in there. <br /><br />I'm honestly considering cutting my losses with the Kantha and spray painting the lamp black. I am never satisfied!<br /><br />PS.

I like the idea of that (crazy awesome) kilim (that I'm eterrrrrnally jealous of) in the kitchen and a kilim pillow in the living room, like to pull that look across both spaces. I actually really like the second combo you've shown--the darker tones help incorporate the kantha too. I'm currently stuck on my pillow situation though so what do I know?? hahaMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324355192617091726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267165268590799235.post-8694972873028007142012-10-30T22:21:26.820-04:002012-10-30T22:21:26.820-04:00Hmm, I was thinking about that combo too actually....Hmm, I was thinking about that combo too actually. Not sure about the rug if only because I think it might be too much for me all together... Are you not loving the cowhide there though because it just came out from my bedroom, so that might be good food for thought! I'm in the midst of figuring out a bedroom replacement but there's no sense in that if the cowhide isn't working :PElyse | Peonies and Brasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485280550391518201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267165268590799235.post-12581395846734976602012-10-30T22:19:33.923-04:002012-10-30T22:19:33.923-04:00That one IS great and is so so affordable.

I would switch out your cowhide with your dining rug and see if you like. Cowhides are so durable it would make a great rug under your table, and the patterns and colors of pillows, blanket, dining rug would would be FAB!

I think it complements the colors in your pillows and the vibrancy of the blanket. Pillows seem like such an easy decision but they make such a big impact and can either go very very right or very very wrong. Hope you'll show us how it turns out!Kelli [kelliflores.com]http://www.kelliflores.comnoreply@blogger.com
