Where can you find the rug for purchase?

Hi, I found this at a local carpet showroom. Perhaps take this photo to a designer or your local carpet vendor. Thanks!

This was done by the builder. You can talk with a good audio visual company to see about having them help you hide the wires. There is also a remote eye that can take the place of large equipment so that you can hide it in another location. Not sure what your condition is exactly, but you could try hiding some wiring in a mantle creatively. For example, if you had a large rustic looking wooden mantle attached to the stone, you could theoretically carve out some space for the wires to be hidden. Good luck!

I agree with Elizabeth about getting an av specialist to penetrate the stone and run a wire chase to remote location to house the dvd player, amplifier, etc. This is a must and typically not that difficult. Mounting the TV to the stone is another matter. A back plate (typically PVC or plywood) should be fastened into the stone. Then opening in the backplate should expose the wiring. Now the TV is mounted to the backplate and adjusted to be parallel to the stone.

A casement that attaches to the backplate will conceal the wiring completely and make the TV look like a piece of purposeful furniture. The casement can be faux painted to match the stone or simply be an espresso stained walnut to blend into the room decor. It is worth the effort.

Thank you. This is from one of our to the trade vendors.

Try taking this photo to a local carpet source. It's so unusual they would recognize it if they have it. Good luck.

It depends on the distance between the sofa and the TV. The further away it is, the less of an angle for viewing. Sometimes the mantle is just too high for comfortable viewing.

Thank you. They have an electronic eye so the media equipment can be hidden, however they don't use a Wii in this room. They have all of that set up in the lower level.

Hi, thanks. My client purchased it several years ago at a Bethesda, MD gallery.

I'm sorry, I no longer have that information. Thanks.

They are 9'.

This is a rather expensive rug, a recent quote was around $5K. Thank you for your interest.

Very soothing.

I didn't specify the stone, it was in place when I started on the job. If you like this look I'd suggest showing it to your stone mason and asking to see similar for your job.
