[quote=Anonymous]For the size of rug you are talking about, I would go to Home Depot and get good quality broadloom or berber carpet (Martha Stewart has a great line there) and get it bound.  It will still be several hundred to thousands of dollars, but cheaper and better than wall-to-wall.

Try overstock.com and homedecorators.com for good quality area rugs, I believe they have categories for 10 x 12 and larger area rugs.

The rug you need is HUGE.  You really just need it to go under the feet of all the furniture in the seating arrangement, (are you sure it's that big?), not all the way to each side of the walls of the room.

Lastly, you might want to consider two smaller sized rugs and laying them next to eachother or binding them with carpet tape.  Two 5 x 7 rugs together would make a 10 x 14 rug, and it would be much more affordable, especially if it is under carpet and held in place by furniture, etc.

Are you sure it isn't other things in the family room that make it cold?  People tend to congregate in the kitchen I agree, but is the furniture comforable?  Does the arrangement make it conducive for conversation?  Are there places to put drinks?  Just something to think about.[/quote]
