Portland Stair Company The best place is the web. You can see different styles of carpet bars or stair rods. Here are a couple of choices

who makes this wallpaper and what other colors are there to choose from? »

thelakehouse Isn't it beautiful?!! I figured out where it's from... It's a Clarence House design called "Flowering Quince". I have a sample of the Red version on my wall now, trying to decide if it's right for my house! I've already ruled out the Brown

Lisa Borgnes Giramonti Floors are original to house (built in '33.) Assume they're oak? They've weathered to a nice patina.

Lisa Borgnes Giramonti the ceiling was benjamin moore swiss coffee and the stair runner was by ralph lauren. it's actually slightly striated (different shades of red) which adds a nice depth to it.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Blossoming walls and a red stair runner feel right for February, but are also perfectly pretty for all year long.
added by Alison Aves to Houzz Tour: It's A Bloomsbury Life
"An entry hall has an opportunity to set the tone for the whole house, and I wanted it to have a feeling of enchantment," Borgnes-Giramonti says. Mission accomplished. The wallpaper is Flowering Quince from Clarence House. "The sheep is one of my favorite possessions; I bought it at Moss in New York years ago. It fulfills my perennial fantasy of living deep in the heart of the English countryside and gazing onto a vast sward of green dotted with fluffy white sheep! Sometimes I think of my house as being like a cottage in the forest, only an inside-out one — here, the vines and thistles and animals are only visible once you enter."
added by Lily Gahagan to Thinking Spring: Blossoming Branches
This entrance feels warm and inviting done up in perpetually flowering wallpaper.
added by Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR to Art: The Unexpected
At first glance, there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary about this lovely traditional entryway. Look closer. That is not the pet dog in the hall. It is a full-size sheep sculpture grazing on the hardwood. LOVE IT.
Grand entryways and entrances. An entryway that wows is an important part of a Southern home. It is a good spot to receive visitors. Be sure to leave out a bowl for calling cards.
In the world of pet statues, lambs are welcome to graze indoors. In fact, they don’t even need grass. They’ll eat air if that’s all you have. What a budget-friendly animal!
added by Pangaea Interior Design, Portland, OR to How to Get Your Stair Runners Right
6. How should I attach the runner? You have two choices: staple the runner on or use rods. The stapling option is more secure; it is actually possible for a runner to slip from under the rods. You might like to choose a stapled option with rods as an added decorative feature. The rods look great in this traditional- style entry.
added by Becky Harris to Home Styles: New Traditional Design
The home's entryway makes a wowing first impression. Bedecking it in wallpaper with a bold, flowering quince pattern brought the traditional foyer up to date.
