To keep or not to keep?

Lemme' lay this on you....

I ordered this rug from Company C to put under my dining room table.

I worked really hard and saved my pennies for a looong time!

Once I got it home and put it under my table it looked terrible with my hardwood floors.

This rug requires a gorgeous uber dark hardwood floor.

And guess what.... no returns on special orders.

Plan B?

It actually looks totally perf in my downstairs family room!

Forgive me for not closing the closet doors or even waiting for good lighting.  

I was in a hurry :-)

Anywhoodle, here's my dilemma...

75% of the time this room is occupied by loads of kids playing xbox on the big screen.  

Only on the weekends do we hang out downstairs as a family.

Do I dare keep this expensive rug downstairs 

or should I come up with a new plan B?

And before you speak, refinishing our hardwood is on the list but it's pretty low.

Please advise....
