David: I’ve warned about this problem on several different occasions. It’s imperative with hardwood flooring (or in this case fake, “laminate,” flooring) that molding is applied to all of the areas where floor meets wall. Otherwise the job looks incomplete and extremely foolish — a bad reflection on the homeowner. Also, I’m not a fan of oriental rugs in kitchens. There’s something gauche about the combination, also creating a poor reflection on the owner’s taste. It’s simply amazing what interior design choices reveal about an individual’s overall sense of style — or lack thereof. Wouldn’t you say?
