I love the color, smooth-ish texture and easy clean up. I am now looking for a thick rug pad so that I have some padding while I stand at the sink since the one I have under it now is super thin.Cathryn Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854283456186833389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948097068702714071.post-55920658699463980072011-10-25T15:04:35.260-04:002011-10-25T15:04:35.260-04:00I've had an Oriental rug in my kitchen for yea...I've had an Oriental rug in my kitchen for years. In my opinion goog Oriental rugs seem to repel dirt. When it gets dirty I take it out on the patio and wash it with a scrub brush and mild soap. Then I hose it off. My uncle, an oriental rug expert, told me that years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948097068702714071.post-26018377086674226912011-10-25T09:30:33.942-04:002011-10-25T09:30:33.942-04:00I have a dash and albert rug that I wash once a we...I have a dash and albert rug that I wash once a week (I have a four year old and a one year old) and it has stood up to wear and tear perfectly for two years!Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820778604250692448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948097068702714071.post-32316597652641999822011-10-24T21:34:39.602-04:002011-10-24T21:34:39.602-04:00Love all the inspiration photos in your post.

We had a beautiful antique Indonesian rug in the kitchen, on top of terracotta tile.......it was short lived as I didn't like crumbs and food drippings falling on it and it never looked clean. Although I love the idea of a cozy, colorful rug in the kitchen, it somehow felt unsanitary......maybe just a result of two young kids constantly "helping" their mom cook!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18056293502544777703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948097068702714071.post-69729276403724630942011-10-24T20:43:14.311-04:002011-10-24T20:43:14.311-04:00I've always loved the look of a rug in the kit...I've always loved the look of a rug in the kitchen, especially a Persian or Oriental rug, but have asked myself the same question about practicality. We had a little rug once in our kitchen that we bought at the farmers market. It was woven from leftover pieces of denim and fabric and our then-puppy thought it was a large chew toy for her. I never replaced it.<br />ClaudiaMy Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661291354573889109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948097068702714071.post-86928853916444916692011-10-24T20:42:14.859-04:002011-10-24T20:42:14.859-04:00We had one in our kitchen, but eventually took it ...We had one in our kitchen, but eventually took it out because it was getting trashed.

It won't show stains, and I think also you've got to be either super-duper clean OR not care that your rug will be less than spotless. I used to be of the former opinion, but with kids around, I've had to let up on my standards. I'd absolutely do a Persian in the kitchen if I could find one I liked and at a price I could afford.The Vintique Objecthttp://thevintiqueobject.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948097068702714071.post-39151979932805346472011-10-24T17:13:48.109-04:002011-10-24T17:13:48.109-04:00.

It certainly adds a colorful element to an otherwise-bland space (we rent and can't change the cabinetry). I went with an inexpensive Dash & Albert cotton rug, because I worry too much right now about my husband making a culinary mess on a nicer Persian or Turkish rug. Perhaps someday I'll get over that.<br /><br />But, I haven't had any accidents so far!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345558627679373156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948097068702714071.post-19583271462852489052011-10-24T13:56:43.971-04:002011-10-24T13:56:43.971-04:00I am saving right now for a vintage persian runner...I am saving right now for a vintage persian runner for my galley kitchen.
