landing rug options

I'm beginning to keep my eyes open for an area rug for my landing/reading nook! I'm bummed that the hardwood floors are painted, but I'm just going to go with it [for now]. I'll eventually paint them a pure white along with the walls [maybe not white- I haven't decided, but the current color has to go!]

Below is the area where the rug would ultimately live... And you get a little preview of the upcoming home tour!

And the options thus far...
