The Perfect Area Rug

I found the perfect area rug for our living room! I'm saving up Walmart gift cards for it now.

I also found some other accents that I really like, but that's my first goal, since it's perfect.

I've added to my list painting the living room, because I'm still not digging the peanut butter color that's on the walls right now. We both agree we'd like to do it in a bright red. We'll have to wait to do that until we get a decent sized ladder, though. I'm guessing that some of the walls are a good 12-14' high. I'm terrified of falling and cracking my head open so I may just let my husband do the painting up that high.
