Rachel Cook Absolutely love the turkish carpets. Lots of texture. Wallpaper is warm and interesting. I love the subway tile and the clean contrast of the kitchen. Very well put together.

Can you tell me how wide your entry is into the dining room? - I'm designing the same type of design in my home but I think my entry is much to narrow. Thanks! »

beckyking In my opinion: Based on the runner, which is probably 3' wide or less, the opening is probably no more than 40". I' ve never seen a runner wider than that....

Lisa Borgnes Giramonti The one in the background is -- believe it or not -- from IKEA and the one in the foreground is from my favorite rug shop in LA, Rugs and Art, 436 S. Robertson, LA, CA 90048 (310-247-1176). Ask for Wally or Sami.

How do you use area rugs in the kitchen? »
· Comment · 2 years ago
Paul Anater You use them as functional accents. Just be sure that they don't slide around adn that they can handle the wear of being in a kitchen.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Alison Aves to Houzz Tour: It's A Bloomsbury Life
When they purchased the home, one of the updates Borgnes-Giramonti and her husband undertook was to remodel the kitchen – updating it by bringing it back in line with the home's historic architecture.
added by Lily Gahagan to Oriental Rugs Beyond the Living Room
Oriental rugs are godsends for heavily trafficked areas; the rich colors and intricate patterns make them great at hiding stains.
added by Natalie Myers to What to Look for at the Flea Market Now
Ethnic rugs and textiles are popular right now and their pricing reflects it. I have seen some beautiful Oriental and kilim rugs at flea markets. I actually look for ones with worn out spots - visually they are much more interesting to me. You won't have to worry about how the rug will hold up in high traffic parts of your own home, and you can talk the dealer down for the "imperfections".
6. Merge into a larger space. This breakfast room, separated from the kitchen by a low half wall, feels like a natural extension of the cooking area.
