I need to know what kind of rug could I put under a dining room table, I am thinking of getting a round table, also my living room and dining room is shared so I was needing some input if it would look to cluttered to put a rug, I really need it since I have kids and don't want to risk staining the carpet.

Hi there,
I've been an interior designer for 19 years now and have used area rugs over other rugs many times.
The previous poster was correct in saying it can discolor the surface rug. Mainly due to natural wear and fading.
If you still choose to use another rug over your existing rug, they do make rug over rug pads. You will definitely want to use one of these (they sort of look like thick felt pads) to keep your area rug from shifting and to protect your other rug.
As far as what type to use, the best thing to do to find what size to use is to measure your table with the chairs pulled out as they would be if you went to leave the table. Make sure the chairs fit over the area rug without going over the edge. This can be not only cumbersome, but can cause the chairs to tip over when sliding them back.
If you are wondering about shape, it's really a personal preference, but I would ask what is needed in the room? Do you have a very geometric, modern look or traditional? Rugs come in round, oval, square and rectangle shapes. It's hard to say without seeing the table or room,honestly.
If you are looking to use a synthetic rug, choose one that is olefin.
It's the most stain resistant. Olefin cannot accept stains, like some synthetic materials. I personally love wool rugs though.
They are very durable, and forgiving and wear like steel.
I've found that using Spot Shot cleaner as needed to be the best also.
I've removed many oil stains, wine etc. from carpets successfully with this GREAT product.
Good luck!

What do I need to do to move out of my parents' house and into a completely different state?
katspooky@
I'll be 18 in May, 2012. I'll be done with high school in June of that year. I want to move as soon as I have my diploma in my hands.
The problem is that I have no one to help me with the move. My parents don't support my ideas and point of views in any shape or form, so I have to get as much information as I can from my teachers at school, which isn't complete information. I'm living in shitty California right now, where prices are high, and where I'll probably never be able to make it on my own unless I rent an apartment in a ghetto city and work my ass off barely making it by, or go to college here and still have to put up with depending on my parents who I have a dark past thanks to and being in a state I hate. I want to move to Oregon, where there are no taxes, and where prices are much lower than California. I want to apply for SSI (Am a disabled person), work part time there, and get a tattooing apprenticeship if I don't get one even sooner and complete it. According to my high school teacher, I can make it by with those plans...I'm hoping to get a small studio apartment or maybe a 1-bedroom for under $700.
If none of that works out, I'll have to go to college here in California and again depend on my parents and put up with their limited capabilities (Both mental and emotional ones) or go to college in Portland, Oregon, which will be difficult as well, considering the fact that I'll have the dept of a student-loan hanging over my head by the time I graduate. If I absolutely have to go to college, I want to study animation in the Art Institute.
Where do I start? How do I go about this? Any tips? Suggestions?
Answer
Ideally, you will need a minimum of 6 months' living expenses and a job that covers 120% of your estimated living expenses. Your rent should not exceed 33% of your gross (pre-tax) income.
You will need to buy something that gets you to/from work (car, bicycle, shoes, bus pass), a bed or futon, clothes dresser, kitchenware (dishes and cups), table ware (forks, spoons, knives), cleaning supplies and toilet paper, grooming supplies, a vacuum, a refrigerator (your apartment might have one), a checking account to pay bills, and anything else that helps get you through the day. Don't forget to budget for utilities (gas/propane, electricity, water, sewer, trash, telephone, cable, Internet, and petrol for the car), food, and insurance (auto and renter's insurance).
You might also want a sofa, chairs, a dining table, cocktail table, lighting, a television and TV stand, and other furniture.
