Large affordable DR rug: connect 3 5x8 or paint a 15x8 plain one?
Comments (20)quick drive-by: WOW! Thank you so much for your responses/ideas/suggestions. I'm not a shopper (other than Lands' End/LLBean), so I really don't know what is available out there. I saw this article on bold rugs where they showed a RH Diamante Flatweave rug which I love but can't afford. So I thought to brainstorm something creative. I will look at other options/stores/ebay, etc. I was also thinking of a non-common size for my narrow/long Dining Room. again THANK YOU. --- I'll need to start another thread on colors. I have a 4-corner colonial home where half of it is grayish-blue/chrome accessories. The DR is in the 3rd corner (office in the 4th). --> Does the DR have follow the grayish blue? I already own gorgeous silk drapes - olive/golden sheen. The room is naked except for the drapes/cherry curtain rods, and medium brown pine wood floor. I have a gorgeous antique large baroque gold rectangle mirror, that I'm thinking of standing on the floor/leaning against a wall. So I'm thinking of staying in the Olive/Golden color scheme. Yes?

Comments (29)@Gargamel, Yes, some weight over 300LB. but a regular framed floor can support the weight. I did a complete house renovation a while back, and when we demoed the bathroom with a tub over 400LB (I asked my scrap guy to weight the tub separately just out of curiosity to find out how heavy it was) and about 1 1/2" concrete as sub-base for the tile and after removing everything this is what we found under the floor. All the joists were cut up for plumbing which ran in every direction. If not the 1x6 sub-floor and the solid blocking that floor would caved in from all that weight....See MorePendants for my 8' by 3.5' kitchen island - Help needed!!
Comments (5)Only the island size and ceiling height matter. A 96 inch island is perfectly fine with two larger pendants, and by larger I mean no more than about 15/18 inches in width. You can also do a linear fixture at about 48 to even 54 inches in width!

Comments (11)How many people are you planning to seat at this island? I'm asking b/c you need these minimums for island seating: 24" per person linear space Two people cannot share a corner 15" overhang of clear leg/knee space A 5'x5' island will not comfortably seat four. Expand it by a minimum of 3" (6" would be better) to get the minimum size for an island that seats four: 63" x 48" (Yes, even 3" will make a difference. Keep in mind that the 24" per seat is the minimum, not the ideal. Ideal is closer to 30" per seat.) Both island sizes (4'x4' & 4'x5') with seating on two adjacent sides will only accommodate three people: Note: The minimums are for short to average height/size people. If you and/or your family are tall, I recommend a deeper overhang with 30" per seat (but 24" per seat will probably suffice)...taller people generally take up more space overall....See Moreblyhoutz
