Living Room Transformation

You guys know I've been fretting over my living room for a while.  It's a big space and it's hard to get right.  I purchased a really cool rug a while back but it just isn't doing the trick and it's way too colorful for the originally more muted palette I'd had planned.  I like drama but more in the form of high contrast than in bold color.  So I did a little photoshopping to see what our living room could look like if I made a few changes over time.  It's like a game of Where is Waldo.  Can you spot the change at each step along the way?

[1] The original space

[2] Painting the parson's console at the back white

[3] Updating the art a la Franz Kline

[4] Changing the rug to this Dash and Albert option (graphic and well priced)

[5] Changing out the caned chairs seats to a grey color (probably would do a pattern in reality)

[6] Painting the coffee table black (I think an antique mirror top would be fabulous but I'm not that skilled at photoshop)
