Overlaying furniture on rugs

[Visual1]

I recently purchased AHD version 8 and have been spending time acquainting myself with its features. One thing I'm not able to do, though I'm following all the steps correctly I believe, is to put a picture frame on a wall and insert a picture in it from the library. Neither can I choose a specific carpet or rug texture or, for that matter, get shingles on a roof. All I'm getting when I attempt to do these things is to transfer a color. The specific items from the library just won't transfer. What's up with that?
