Floor Sample

Here's some comparison photos so that you can have an idea of how dark the floor is against the other wood in the room.

It's reflecting a little light but you get the idea.
This one is a little blurry but I was too lazy to take another photo. The shade of the coffee table doesn't matter too much since it will be sitting on an area rug and not directly on the wood floor.

Collage take 2

Here are two floor samples that I liked. The one on the left is my favorite but only has a 10 year warranty on the finish. The one on the right is my second favorite but has a lifetime wear warranty. You can't really see the differences in the picture but the one on the left is a little more cherry and rustic than the one on the right. In the collage below, I had to use the image of the one on the left since I couldn't find one for the other and the pictures I took don't do it justice.

I'm also going with this rug from Ikea that'll make the floor not so dark. I hate trying to find just the right print and colors on a rug, so why bother?

Here's what I have so far. Not much. ha ha

More ideas

Here are a few ideas for throw pillows. I'm trying to find something that will incorporate other colors in the room. Green and red are the main colors since I have my green couches and red candles.

The fabric above is from Pottery Barn and is a little pricey.

I found these others that are similar and a lot cheaper.

I'm thinking about doing yellow drapes and might either go with a solid or print. If I go with a solid in the living room then I'll probably go with a print in the kitchen.
