Building Home - need furniture

Unfortunately, I don't have any Antelope samples. On browsing the forum, though, and looking at the Antelope Saddle I'm thinking there is not enough contrast between the Kipling Whiskey and the Antelope Saddle. I don't want it to look like I tried to match the leathers, I'd rather have a big difference between the pieces. Maybe Antelope Nugget? What do you think, am I wrong in thinking they're not contrasty enough? This is just based on photos, which can be quite deceiving. Or do you think I'm wrong in wanting that much contrast?

Decisions, decisions!

Let me take a few shots in the morning and post them here. I have both Antelope Nugget and Saddle on the floor in recliners. I can overlay the Kipling on the seat and take some photos.

I'll wait to see those photos before we make any further decisions.

I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving with your loved ones!

Here we go...

Hmm, I'm not sure either of them float my boat. I'll let you deal with your very busy day today and work with you after the sale.

Thanks for taking the time to snap those pictures!

Kipling Whiskey is not the right color for those two....try these:

I love the Equestrian Toffee, it reminds me of my grandfather's armchair.

We just had our concrete floors stained and they turned out much differently than I had anticipated. Not bad, just darker. So I'm having to rethink all my color preferences. The Kipling Whiskey is out, it clashed! I'm looking to lighter leathers as well as some of the darker ones I already have samples of but that I had passed by earlier. I'm really glad I didn't rush a decision during the Cyber sale!

I may try taking a few photos, but the color is so changeable depending upon how much light is in the room that it may not do much good, aside from giving a sense of it.

Taken me a few days to think this through. The best colors for the floor seem to be fairly dark. Colors like Yardley Tobacco simply fade away and the Kipling Whiskey looks horrible. I have samples of Ryan Chestnut and Garfield Sable which both look good. I think the Antelope Nugget would be nice, though I don't have a sample of that. I also think a really light leather might be okay, but I'm not sure which ones would qualify as light enough. I don't have any lighter samples right now. Duane, do you have any further suggestions for me based upon those requirements? I'd like to get more samples as soon as I figure out what to order.

As usual, thanks so much for your time!

I guess we need to see more photos of your room, Jane! When you go lighter there are also different hues you can move towards, so by seeing more of the final color palettes to be used it makes it easier to narrow down leather choices.
