Not only did I put more rugs on the walls but found a better place for heirlooms from my wonderful Step-father Edward C. Patterson (Pat). Here is an after photo of memories of Pat's military history during his time at Camp David. Those memories include gifts from President Eisenhower and The Kennedy's for Christmas and documents.
Over to the right side of the photo on the shelf is a photo of Pat, the Presidential Seal and Presidential patch he wore when on duty at Camp David. The photo below is an award of Service from LBJ and below is a photo of Pat saluting President Eisenhower and President De Gaulle of France exiting a helicopter. That photo was taken April 24, 1960 as Pat noted on the back of the photo.
A before photo of the wall which looks totally naked in comparison.
The wall to the left has just two rugs with the before photo. Left is Fat Dog a design by Tonya Robey and on the right of the door is Crow Sampler by Kindred Spirits.
And now with additional rugs... the Early Bird is a pattern by Spruce Ridge but I made a change and added the framing on the left and right of the design. On the right side of the door is a sheep pattern by Woolley Fox.

There is a third wall in the office which needs attention but haven't decided which rugs to put there yet. That fourth wall has two floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a window so no rugs will go there.
I've rugs to hang in the kitchen and living room as well as relocating the Shadow Memorial from the computer room to my bedroom with my other departed fur babies.

OH, if you were waiting for my version of connecting the 'seasonal mats' from the previous post, don't hold your breath. I've decided not to pursue that project for a couple reasons but mostly because the blocks have different background colors and cannot think of a good framing color which wouldn't either get lost because of value or wouldn't be an attractive match. However, it was a wonderful thought-provoking question by Gail.
