The material makes it easy to clean I think, so it would be good in the dining room, and it would tie the orange from living room into that area too.

Sorry, It's late and I ve been shopping with sister and mother for 14 hours today out of town, getting punchy LOL, Have lots to catch up on , but will try to think and give suggestions tommorrow

Here's one to consider, I put them side by side here, found a few, posted so we could try them,,, all from amazon.com..lets see how they go

i love these for ur room of the suggestions posted above: http://st.houzz.com/simgs/8bc18c5d0e45b53a_7-9280/modern-rugs.jpg http://st.houzz.com/simgs/59d18b7200a591fa_7-8093/contemporary-rugs.jpg http://st.houzz.com/simgs/e4a295b10148ecd2_7-3717/home-design.jpg

Love them all! I was thinking of the first two Lynne put. The sizes were roughly 7x9 for the dining table and 8x9 for the dining room although a 7x9 might work too.

Lynne forrestal where did you find that green swirl one?

What about this one with that first one I picked? I can't seem to find the other one

How about these together?

all that I found were on amazon.com.... mic87911 yes that works, I do like the black swirls a little better in the one I had found thoug... but either will work

Here is the green with swirl rug link to the one that Lynne showed above

this is a 5 x 8 rug, so will need to find in another size, I thought the living room may be able to use this size, I couldn't remember at the time

iT SAYS THAT THEY MAKE RUGS TO YOUR SPECIAL ORDER SIZE, SO CONTACT THE COMPANY FOR A PRICE QUOTE IN THE SIZE AND COLOR YOU WANT, DOUBLE CHECK THE COLOR OF THE SWIRL, ON ANOTHER SITE, THIS RUG IS SHOWN WITH A DARK GREEN SWIRL, THE ONE i SEE LOOKS BLACK, AND ANOTHER SITE IT LOOKS GRAY SWIRL.

Thank you! If I can get a bigger size I'll try it, if not I may go with the other rug.

Would that other rug go well as a second choice?

I think you mean the white swirl? I think so

Yes, ok I might do that

mic87911, how much is the rug you decided on, the first one? for what size? I ask, because I think I saw the same one at shopko.com, so you may want to compare prices.

never mind, the one I found has ddarker colors, same pattern though I think :)

It was like $150-$200 I think

Ok so now I'm sad again....the two rugs I love, I'm afraid are a bit too big for the space....and the dark green LR rug only comes in that size and the multi color DR rug may be too small if I go down one size. HELP! Is it better to be a tad too big?

How much too big and in which direction?, for example, in the living room, could it go under the sofa some? in the dining room , is it too wide or long? or both? that green swirl, with dark swirl that I had found can be made in different sizes, according to the website, so you could contact them with your measurements and see what the price would be...

which rug were you using in the living room?

I emailed that light green with the black swirls...just waiting for a reply....in the DR the 7x10 would be too big in both directions but still fit. In the DR the rug would go under the love seat but it will extend too long across the LR into the way of traffic, which I was told to stay away from. I was using the rug before each picture in my previous post for that corresponding room. The rugs would fit but I'm afraid they would be too large

In LRM, what would it look like if you just had it from front of loveseat out to just past the coffee table? would that look right to you... if so what size would that be? maybe 4 x 5 or so? not all rugs are standard sizes I noticed, I always thought there were standards... so it gets very confusing.

Yeah I noticed that too.....would it look ok and proportionate to make it only extend that far? If so that would work but that rug is only in an 8x10 so I have to find another one or wait for that company to reply.

I don't know.
Its hard for me to tell from the photos, Usually there is a rug with the furniture front legs on it, and the furniture is in a group, kind of like the L shape we talked about earlier. With the sofa and love seat across the room from each other, ( I needed to do that also in my room) I put the rug in front of sofa and left the wide walk way width in front of the love seat, with the table in front of the sofa since that was the larger piece and more focal point than the love seat... My room is just over 12 feet wide.... and it looked fine. Maybe not from a professional designers point of view, but from ordinary people it was fine :)

Maybe you could take a blanket or sheet and fold it into the right size, lay it out and see what it looks like?

the 8 x 1 that's the geometric multi colored rug correct? Who is the manufacturer on that one?
I could help search more for you too. Also, another idea, check your city for a custom rug shop, perhaps they could cut and bind the rug for you for a fee.... you could buy the larger one and have it cut down... and maybe even get another runner or small rug out of it too.

green is the best choice

Those are great ideas Lynne, a sheet would work to see. Yeah I wanted the L but with the space, this is what I like. And the couch has two end tables so the love seat gets the coffee table lol the end tables won't fit on the other side. The 8x10 is the green swirls, the 7x10 is the multi but it comes in 5x7 too. I'll add the amazon links.

Ok, I decided I can only do one rug with the patterns I picked because they are just too big for the dining room space. So for now its one rug for the LR. Which pattern would work best in the space?

Oh my.... I hope someone else weighs in on this one, I like them both... LOL
Just depends on if you want bolder , then use the bottom one... but my first thought is to bring the green from dining room into the living room with the green one, and find another that has the living room colors to tie into the dining room at a later date.
Are they both easy to clean? that would be a factor to consider when deciding ( at least to me it would)
Let me know what you decide... and when you do, you can help me find art for my kitchen LOL

You'll have to let me know where your kitchen post is :-) yes I'm torn between these too....I hope others vote.

The green one says easy to clean and the multicolor is stain resistant...go figure....perfect for what I needed them both for....if only the multi color had a custom size!

here's my kitchen post link... I remember at one time you liked the one with the circle dots in various colors..did you decided against that one for sure? Its posted above from 2 weeks ago

Which one exactly?

http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/oriental-weavers-sphinx-2205a/multi/1322205A-710010.html

I liked it but not as much as some of these other ones.

Did you decide and order one of the rugs? I see the orange patterned one is reduced.

Did you call around your city and see if anyone does alterations on rugs? I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to alter the size and re- bind the edges.... call a carpet store to start, and if they don't do it, then see if they know of anyone... I'd love for you to have both of the rugs you love!

I haven't called but I will try today! I haven't order one yet. I can't decide between the green and multi colored one for the living room.

Mic87911, checking in on your progress :)... did you find someone to alter the rug? Did you order one , which one? My rug is suppose to be here tomorrow sometime... yeah!!! still don't have my table yet though

what size did you finally decide that you need? I tried to look back, but have only a few minutes and couldn't find it. I just saw this one at 80% off... lighter green, but thought of you.. I wish I had a place for it!!
It is a 5 x 8 size, wool, regular price is $580 sale price is $116

The above rug is lighter than you were looking at but on my computer screen looks like the green would work.
what's your thoughts?

So sorry I've been slacking Lynne. I have been really busy! I think what I might end up doing is going with the multi color rug for now. That way in the future I can always get one to match it. What do you think? Thanks for your suggestion!

That sounds good! No apologies needed :), we have lives outside of houzz!!! LOL
I just took photo of my new table/chairs and rug, in kitchen, drapes not up yet.. Will post on my dilema !!

I'll go look now!
