If you don't want to get a new rug then I would definitely use a different paint on the table instead of leaving it natural. I love the look of paint and natural and I really like all the dark wax you used.<br />And another thing - I don't think in necessarily has to match the rug. Unless it hurts your eyes every time you look at it, I wouldn't worry about it matching!Sew a Fine Seamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534917822179287644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006505084971049337.post-43675472361224074152012-05-01T06:03:35.443-07:002012-05-01T06:03:35.443-07:00I love love that table.

I agree with a few others that suggested you change the green to be a bit more earthy. The green in your inspiration pic would look nice with your rug.

Rugs are usually more expensive than paint! But of course, that is always an option, if you are not in love with your rug.<br /><br />If this will continue to bother you, then just "sage it up" a bit. Adjust the color to a more muted shade. I wouldn't do away with the project entirely, though. You are doing a great job!<br /><br />I would just leave it as is, personally. :)<br /><br />Amy in CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006505084971049337.post-48477947066082542382012-04-29T20:59:34.610-07:002012-04-29T20:59:34.610-07:00If the not matching bugs you now, I'd think it...If the not matching bugs you now, I'd think it always will-- your paint job is fabulous, though, so I'd recommend just adjusting the color!Merri Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893638585791436940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006505084971049337.post-5543928801539245122012-04-29T20:05:56.434-07:002012-04-29T20:05:56.434-07:00Looks great!
