I like it too in its simplicity. Must check out artist Max Miller if you're not familiar with his work- quite stunning and sophisticated portraits of dogs. A real modern talent.

quick update...add series of mid century sconces (three) on the right hand side wall - less predictable than overhead pendant lights, and would draw the eye up. Beyond that, you could ebonize the floors (matte finish - again, less obvious) and paint the ceiling high gloss pale gray. Could look really interesting...

top 4 ways to get rid of the big stuff (furniture, cabinetry, appliances and computers)

So…you have big plans to redecorate or renovate, but don’t know what to do with your old furniture or how to salvage your used appliances? Assuming you don’t have the time, personality or nerves of steel to hold a tag sale or barter on Ebay, consider these 4 simple ways to find a good home for your old goods, while helping others and the environment.
1. Local Consignment Stores: Perhaps you’re not into your French Country Dining Set anymore or your series of Botonical Prints. Consider calling your local consignment stores to review you lot. You can usually email them photos, and then agree on a price range for re-sale. Consignment stores will often pick up your items and they typically take one third of the sale.
2. National Furniture Bank Association: This organization represents furniture banks across the country, collecting home furnishing donations and redistributing them to families in need. Basically, you just visit their website thenfba.org and enter in your zip code to find the nearest furniture bank. It’s easy and a wonderful way to recycle your furniture and help your fellow neighbor.
3.Demolition Charities: If you are undertaking a major renovation, re-doing your kitchen for example, chances are you will have appliances and cabinetry to replace. Charities such as greendemolition.org based in Greenwich, Ct. will take away reusable appliances and cabinets at no charge, and give you a receipt to use for tax purposes.
4.Schools: So you’ve made the leap to the Treo 700 and Apple MacBook Pro…what to do with the hardware that you left behind? Many schools would love your palm pilot or old reliable Dell computer, size not withstanding. Every school in the nation is adding more and more technology to their classrooms, at younger and younger grades, and would greatly appreciate donations. It’s giving back to your community and sure beats the shipping costs that would be associated with selling them on Ebay. http://www.blinkdecor.com/renovatorsroundtable/?p=7

I recently purchased the Megan rug in chartreuse from the Madeline Weinrib Collection. I have it in my dining room and love it. You can see it in the room in this month's issue of Athome (in Fairfield County.)
