After looking around and around, I found a reasonably priced rug at Target that will complement the brick tiles in our house. It came a couple of nights ago, and I think that it is going to look very cool. Unfortunately, interior decorating isn't easy for me, so let's hope for the best! Here is a picture of the rug in our furniture-bare living room. Just an fyi - like the rest of the house, the mantle & shelves are still a work in progress. Almost every "decorative item" we own is on those shelves, so they won't be as cluttered when we're done.

A closer look at the rug...

... and the tile floor.

We'll keep you updated with more pics soon.
