Wood to Tile Transition-need help!

[starryfish]

We are putting in wood laminate flooring (already put this same floor in our dining room) in our Living room. The transition piece only comes in 6' pieces, but one of the transition areas is 8' long (living room to breakfast area). My DH thinks it is dumb to use 2 pieces to make it work of the matching transition and wants me to find something else. BUT it will NOT match if I find something else...it would have to be stained and I do NOT think it would come close to color (wood is a medium/dark color with gray undertones). What says H&G?

Here is the transition piece:

I'd do two pieces. With a good, clean mitre joint you'll never notice.

Thanks. I think it will be fine. We can make it closer to the wall so its not in the middle of the floor.

I'd center a whole piece with seams at both ends.

YOU must be inside my head! I literally just thought of this since I like symmetrical! Thanks! :-)
