Finally... a new bedroom rug

For months we have been looking for an area rug for the bedroom. The combination of simple... but not too simple, and good quality... but not too pricy, plus the right color proved to be an elusive combination.
So: before we got the new rug:



and after we go the new rug:




We found this rug at The Rug Warehouse. The rug store is in this whole furniture store shopping center, which used to be a bakery, the Helms Bakery Building, in Culver City.

The living room is painted

Here is how the living room came out. All the art is on the walls and the 'cayenne' paint came out very well.

now, what else is there for us to do?
