Fancy parlor flooring - aerial view

For the parlor, I wanted to make a fancy floor so I picked up two herringbone wood flooring sheets to use with the regular walnut flooring. Since I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to do or how things would look, I made color copies of the flooring sheets that I could cut, tape and rearrange until I figured out a good layout. I could then use the copies as a guide for cutting the real deal. Here's the overall layout I've come up with. I've borrowed the marble hearth from the Newport, so the border around it is just a rough mockup. I love the way it looks in mockup, but I want to see how it will look with a thin inlay border between the outer border and the middle herringbone pattern before I make my final decision on a layout.
Keep in mind, the coloration of the color copies is off. I plan to stain the actual wood darker so the pattern will be more subtle than it looks in these photos. There will also be a rug for the middle of the parlor.
