I know I'm late to comment on this, but I have very fond memories of a carpeted kitchen and just had to share :) For as long as I can remember, my childhood home had dark green carpeting, and the only time I ever remember it being troublesome is when the dogs would lick/chew holes in it :). I definitely think FLOR would be great in a kitchen, but any dark, sturdy carpet should do well - a kitchen is a great place for sitting on the floor and relaxing! Hi!

Have you checked craiglist and ebay for FLOR tiles? sometimes you can find a batch that have been lightly used... I also love these Swedish mats from Abitare, but they're a bit expensive http://www.abitareshop.com/2008/10/17/update-indooroutdoor/ Hey Abbey!

The only thing I'd be worried about though is a little bambino dropping food on that pretty carpet. Much easier to clean tiles than stains on a rug!! Very chic looking.

I'm on the fence myself -- we're in a rental, so I can't put anything like flooring down (in my real someday house). Then, I don't want to spend a ton of money -- FLOR is probably too expensive. Right now I'm wondering if maybe I should do tile decals? I want to do something with the tile, or the whole kitchen will be dirty dirty white. I cook CONSTANTLY but don't spill that much, but it does get yucky around the stove. I could do rug on rug, but then it starts to get expensive and sort of insane... stay tuned! I appreciate all the suggestions! Thanks for all the good thoughts ladies! I’m on the fence myself — we’re in a rental, so I can’t put anything like flooring down (in my real someday house).
