**ETA: The winner is Crystal Schaar, CONGRATS!**
So for those of you who follow my blog you know that my husband had open heart surgery in January and when he was in the hospital I wanted to do a little game room makeover since I knew he would be spending alot of time in there while he was recovering. Well....there was so much going on and so many people staying with us that I didn't get to it so I am working on that now and it is probably better since he can help me make some of the decisions....although we aren't agreeing on any of them. Maybe I should have stuck with the doing it while he was away plan...then I could have just done what I wanted!
So I finally picked out a lovely cabinet from these flat panel tv stands that I wanted and then of course he chose a different one and now we are having a family vote....don't think I haven't bribed the children to vote my way! I think I have their votes secured for now, unless he offers something better. ;)
And now we are debating on a rug...here are the final choices, can you help? Do you see a trend here? Gray and yellow....it has turned into an epidemic. They didn't have it in turquoise thank goodness or I would have had three here to battle over.
And if this helps this is the tv unit we are getting....oops I mean voting on...and shhh don't tell him but I already bought these really cool knobs from anthro that are going to look lovely on it. (They are gray, shocking I know) Of course if my vote wins! wink wink
So there is our dilemma, what do you think? Gray or yellow?
And just for helping a girl out I thought a little incentive was in order so leave me a comment here voting on what color rug I should get and I will pick a winner Tuesday morning for a $55.00 gift certificate for you to use on whatever you want from csn stores. They have everything from home decor to lighting to appliances. And as always for more chances to enter you can post it on facebook and leave me a link here, follow me on twitter and/or twitter this giveaway as well for more chances to win!
Have a great weekend!
Love the tv stand!!! How could your husband not love it? I vote for the yellow rug. It brightens things up and makes me happy.

Grey... you have young children and the yellow is beautiful, but not practical. Use yellow for your accent color.

Paint the walls grey and use the yellow rug. Definiely the "wow" factor.

Gray...easy to add more colors choice to...like turquoise!

I'd go with the gray, I think. Whatever you choose, I'm sure it will be lovely!

I am thinking the Gray...it will be easier to pair other things with in the room! I sure hope you will send pics of the finished project! :)

I would want more information before giving final advice. The wall color? The furniture color? The floor color? Your acessories? If your house looks a lot like the picture you showed, I would go with the gray rug. The yellowish walls and the yellowish lighting in the unit ... need a gray. But, if your house is not like that, the yellow rug might add more of a pop of color that you need ... I don't know! I would totally vote for turquoise if it was an option! But, I'm leaning towards gray :)
If it helps, my husband is very opinionated in the home decor department. He mostly just doesn't like any of my ideas :) Have fun with that!

Gray...more neutral and easier to accessorize with MORE yellow stuff..hee hee!

If that's the color of your wall then I would go grey.

I think the gray would show less dirt and would look good with your wall color. So good that your husband is doing well.

I think gray. Lately I have found myself drawn more and more to that color.
Posted by: carriegel | March 04, 2011 at 02:12 PM
depends on your wall color! are they grey already? then definetely the yellow rug! show us when it's all finished!
Posted by: alicia king | March 04, 2011 at 02:27 PM
I have to say that overall I would choose the gray rug, although I love the yellow one too! I think with the kids and what the room is going to be used for the gray my hide more and be easier to clean.
Posted by: Jeanne Ann | March 04, 2011 at 02:58 PM
Oh my gosh the tv stand is incredile. I definately vote for the yellow. The pop of yellow on the floor would add that pizazz we all need. Cant wait to see the finish product
Posted by: Sue Coverdill | March 04, 2011 at 03:05 PM
I'd go with gray...it's a little more neutral and you could use it somewhere else later, or even change the color of this room and still use it. :)
