FLOORED BY GREAT RUGS

If you're looking for the latest in carpet, area rugs and other flooring possibilities, stop by Hemphill's Rugs & Carpets in Costa Mesa.

Super-friendly owner Brett Hemphill searches out the premium flooring choices available: Missoni rugs, European woven vinyl (ideal for outdoor rooms and pool areas), top quality bamboo floors, and hand-knotted rugs from India, Nepal and Tibet. And Hemphill's offers custom rugs and broadloom fabrication, a rarity among carpet stores.

Exclusive limited-distribution carpet brands include Karastan, Glen Eden, Stanton and Fabrica, as well as hard-to-find boutique mills such as Carousel, Radici, Ralph Lauren, Woolshire and more. Other choices include semi-custom hardwood floors, cork flooring, and carpet tiles.

Another reason to shop at Hemphill's is its non-advertised special (exclusive to Greer's OC subscribers): Hemphill's stack of Karstan machine-made rugs and hand-knotted oriental designs (8x10 and 9x12) previously priced at $2,200 to $5,000 are reduced to $995.

10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. 230 E. 17th St. in Costa Mesa. 949.722.7224.
