tx2nc I love your blue walls! The rug is gorgeous but I agree w/ the others- too small. cottonpenny the two most recent ones were dcrugs and greatfallsdecoratorc but there are actually others I like better that I got rugs from last year- I will have to go back to my old records and find them. If you look at DCrugs, don't be put off by the prices. The most recent one, I put in an OBO for 1/2 of what it was listed for and they accepted. Every oriental in my house came from eBay. Regarding the chandelier dimensions- I don't know. I am away for the weekend but when I return tomorrow, I will get you the dimensions and details :) stinky-gardener, I am not a designer or architect. I am a writer and work in search engine optimization. I just really love decorating and design stuff! The house is new (well, we closed in April '12). There are pics of the rest of it here (http://stonepondhouse.blogspot.com) if anyone is interested and hasn't seen them :) We started w/ a basic floor plan from the builder and I added the conservatory, dog room and sun room, moved a bunch of other rooms around, took out an inside study and completely changed the structure of the kitchen. I designed all the cabinets and picked all the finishes, etc. (I actually made Photoshop mock-ups of the kitchen and all bathrooms and we worked from there and had some truly amazing people that were able to do exactly what I asked! The kitchen especially I think turned out JUST like the photoshop:

Yes, the rug is a bit large but it will work. Share a simple floorplan sketch with room measurements for best advice. Are you considering a wood or tile floor in the future.? If yes, start a floor fund with the money you "save" by not returning the rug you love. Also,what is the room on the other side of the fireplace? And is that the front door in the third pic?

I have a new couch and chair coming so I opted to get rugs as well (I didn't have any before). I'm kind of running into an issue with the size. I'd like to be able to have all 4 legs of the couch on the rug to protect the floors, but I'm not sure if that will look good. I bought these rugs with that intent, but I feel like it might be too big for the space. I feel like it's too wide here, and turning it length-wise would be too long. The tape measure is the approximate length of the couch. Here's a picture of the couch for reference: The smaller rug is where I want to put my desk, facing the windows. 4' x 6' seems too small, but I wasn't terribly confident that a bigger one (like 5' x 7') would've looked right for the spot. If I return it, I don't know what I should be looking for. I also have no sense of colour, so if I chose the wrong colour(s) for the rugs, feel free to let me know.

Ok, I'll give some feedback. I would say no because your chairs will not have issues catching the edges of the rug when people are getting up and down from the table. Do you have another leaf for the table? If so , the rug length looks perfect. The only other size would be a square one that you occasionally stumble across.
