Hi, Jessie - The measurements for the LNT stools are: Seat - 9 x 17 1/2; Legs (widest part) - 14 1/2 x 17. If these are too big for you, there are similar ones at Ballard that are smaller and more squarish. I have linked those below. Well, thanks for asking about my RH Brightwood pendants. They are hung and look great, but they still don't have shades. You remember that I had gotten enclosed bell shades from Schoolhouse Electric in the 2.25 fitter size? (I wanted the enclosed shades because I was worried about the glare from exposed bulbs, since I was hanging them high above the table. RH doesn't have enclosed shades that small.) Trying to be environmentally conscious, I ordered the fixtures with the GU24 socket and 24W bulb, but did not think it through or do my research. As it turns out, I have yet to find a GU24 bulb that fits into the shade. (In fact, you have to go down to an 18W to even get a shade that will fit into a 2.25 GU24 socket, never mind the shade. RH is changing their site to not allow you to select GU24 in 2.25 fitter size with a 24W bulb.) I understand there are 13W and 9W bulbs out there, but I hate to order them without knowing the dimensions because they have mercury in them and are difficult to dispose of if they don't work, and with shipping returning them is a hassle and expensive. And these bulbs are so new that I am not finding them IRL. Plus, I am now also reading that the bulbs may not be safe with an enclosed shade! Anyway, I will keep you posted...

Used/antique Iranian rugs on ebay. A real bargain bin, if your eye can sort through the real garbage. This one was about $300 with freight. Odd-size rugs like this one are bigger bargains, this is 5x11. Casey

Like others, I searched online for best prices. But also be cautious as there are bad websites and good ones. Sometimes the very lowest price is suspect. Good websites are Build dot com, fauctedirect, expressdecor, wayfair, qualitybath, and there are many others. With Amazon you have to be careful which Amazon vendor you are buying from and look at that seller's ratings carefully, or, just buy solely from Amazon (not an Amazon vendor) so you know you can return easily. If you are going to buy all fixtures yourself, what you MUST do is specifically exclude those items from your Scope of Work. Don't leave it to "assumptions" and "conversations" with the GC. Be prepared for the GC to say he won't warrant anything about the installation of those items, since he didn't source them. They always say that. If you buy a good product from a reputable website there shouldn't be problems. Note that when buying larger items like appliances, tub and toilets, the delivery is typically just to the end of your driveway, and it will be up to you to bring into the house and up stairs if needed. Usually sellers have an extra charge for delivery into the house and up stairs. But be careful what you wish for - there are very good reasons why a GC marks up the cost of these fixtures and appliances. The reasons are the amount of time it takes to: shop for them, choose them, monitor delivery, examine the items upon delivery to ensure they are what was ordered and not damaged, returns if necessary, and the cost and risk of potentially storing them until ready for installation. All of that is time and money and risk, which YOU will be taking on. Having said that, I like the "control" it gave me to order those things, but the time-consuming part is a bear.

I got mine from all different sources. BULL'S EYE came from Edmunds. EYES FOR YOU I got from Burlington Roses. EYES ON ME came from Lowes. EYECONIC MELON LEMONADE from Regans. They carry all the "Eyeconic" series ones. And got my BLUE FOR YOU from Cliff back when he first opened EuroDesert Roses. Not sure who has BFY anymore tho. Disease resistance is generally pretty good on all of them, but this yr has been such a weird, wet and cold one that they all have been hit with black spot.
