What one do you like better??? This one is bigger, bolder and I wouldn't have to change anything in the room. But it's more $$
This one, I love too.... smaller, cheaper, but I'd have to change my curtains and get a few things to in the blue.
Opinions PLEASE!

I'm torn. Normally, I'd always pick the colors in the second one, but the first one pops more and pulls out some colors in the wood floor, and I like things that pop. So, I'd say #1.
I love the blue & green one! But then again you have seen my front room...and those colors are just more me than the warmer, red one. But yeah, I do love the blue one the mostest.
P.S. Where did your piano go???
Ok, I looked again, because it is really close in my mind. The blue and green give the room and calm and relaxing feel, so I guess it depends on what you want the room to feel like. Energetic or calm.
Joy...that is the dilemma!!! I like them both!
mer, the piano is to the right...can't see it in these pics.
I guess I'm the odd-one out because I like the first one. But if you look at my house it's almost all done in warm colors. I love the splashes of red. :-)
I think you should keep both of them and just rotate every week - according to your mood. :-)
You know I love them both, and they are even more impressive in person.
funny... i'm considering the same carpets for our great room! it's fun to see them in another house! i'm usually drawn to the colors in the second one, but i kind of like the way the first one plays off of everything else in the room. i'm curious to see what you end up with! what great taste you have!
where's the second one from? i know i've seen it and i thought it was at target, but now i can't find it.
world market.. is it from world market? http://www.worldmarket.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3806372
it looks a lot brighter on their site than in your pictures. did you think that when you got it? sorry i have so many questions! i've been rug shopping for the last few weeks. the first rug seems a lot thicker and i wonder if it would wear better than the second.
I like the second one.

Same but different coloring, and World Market doesn't have the bigger size I got. :) It's an indoor/outdoor but seems pretty durable. But the Target one is definitely higher quality!
I am ALL about the first one. I love the tones in the second rug (although I am a huge orange/red fan...more than blue), but the first rug not only makes the room come alive, in my opinion it balances it out better, too. It "grounds" it, so to speak.
I would totally go with numero uno!! (PS Makes me want to get a new rug...)
I vote for the SECOND one.. It's really pretty. and the first one is exciting but is so big and wild I think it is too overpowering. And might make you feel ummm...confused or out of wack...
Second one
I have the first one and love it. But for the first year it sheds soooo bad. But not that bad anymore. And dont dare drop a cheese stick on it!
numero uno!! :) love it!
I definitely love the second one. Just seems calmer - more relaxing, and like the more toned down colors.
#2 FOR SURE!!! I love it so much. It just fits.
HI, I know you don't know me, but I enjoy following your blog and seeing your great photography. I like both the rugs, but I think the 2nd one is out of scale and needs to be bigger. If you went with the first one, pull your couches and furniture closer together so they are all anchored by the rug and so it doesn't look like it's floating in the room. The 2nd shows too much floor. They both are beautiful though!
I TOTALLY love the first one!!! It's GLORIOUS. I think I just fell in love. Are people allowed to marry carpets in the US, yet? Since this is a "free" country and all, I'd think so.. I'd vote yes for that one. ;)
To sum up.. I'm for the first one, 100%!
They're both gorgeous carpets, but the second one definately looks better in your livingroom. I agree with your mom about the first one, how it could make you feel "out of whack."
I like the first one. Maybe the second looks cooler in person but the first one is really great & happy, the second is more calm...I wonder what the room would look like if you turned the rug on the same angle as the fireplace and then moved the couches in an L shape on the opposite side of the room or to face eachother with the coffee table between and the table against the wall behind one of the sofas, to make the fire place the focal point... looks like fun! Good luck - you're an artist, I'm sure whatever you do will look PERFECT!!
Love the idea Rebecca, but there is next to no room in that space. You can't see the giant piano in the bottom of the photo. Very very small space, otherwise I totally would do that! :)
k im no help because i focus on one and think "ok this one! this is the better one" than i look at the other and think "no this one actually." back and forth. they're both fetching cute!
They are both cute - but I pick #2 - very calming and makes your furniture pop more - good luck :)
I like the second one because it brightens up the room. I think the big one is a little too big and puts too much dark brown in the room, with the couches. The light one pulls the pretty color of the wall too.
I'm almost always for the calm, toned down kind of stuff, but I love the first one. I can't decide if I like the colors as well with your stuff compared to the secone one, but it's beautiful!
Here's my 2 cents:
I like the size of the first one but my vote would 100% be for #2. Plus, even if you do have to buy a few more things for the second rug could it still wind up costing you less than the first rug??
I love the second - but for the room I have to vote #1 - that looks AMAZING!!!!!!
Matt & I agree - #2 (but both are really cute)
My vote is for the second one. But I'm drawn to more calm (which usually means boring) colors, and you and your house can totally pull off the bold!
Wow..you got 32 comments, I don't even think I know that many people. so you probably don't need my advice. I would say #1.. I love the colors and if you don't have to change curtains (they r expensive) then you should get the more expensive one...I love the colors!
Definately say #1. I love It! Miss you lady:) Misses. Mwah!
I vote for #1!
Wow, it's crazy how people can have such strong, different opinions!! I also like them both!! Again, it just depends on how you want the room to feel. Light and calm, or warm and vibrant. Both are great! :) I think I'd choose the first one, because I really like rich colors, but they're both really nice. :)
Personally I like the second one BUT the fact that the first one already looks great in the room is a big plus. How much is the second rug once you add in the cost of adding blue stuff?
Also, I think your room looks amazing. Just looking at all the breakable stuff in there makes me want to go have a breather in the bathroom. How often do your knicknacks get broken?
Seriously 37 comments? Who do you think you are?
Bigger and $$ is what I like.
Ummm, yeah, what are you, famous?? Hey, I like having a famous daughter!
Bigger and bolder...numero uno definitely. I love it, plus if you're having to buy things to go with the second won't that headache and price just make the first one that much simpler to go with? I don't know but I LOVE the first.
But then again, I'd love to have flowered rugs or flowered anything in my house time to time....it's the one no negotiable around here....
what did you decide?
I love the big one :)
