My love affair with FLOR

I have loved FLOR carpet tiles for many years.... too many to tell. So, when new client wanted a contemporary loft space, my thoughts lead to FLOR. And, I pulled out my box of FLOR tiles, like a favorite set of crayons. Many of my samples are out-of-print, but I love them just the same.

Why do I have them so? Versatility, variety of patterns and textures, eco-consciousness, mass appeal ( from carpets that look solid to wild patterns) and the willingness to innovate. Below is my foyer carpet for the day, as I laid out all of my samples mixed  with a long term project of collecting black and white tiles for a truly mixed up black and white rug. Which might be the real reason I love FLOR, I can lay it down, pick it up, change my mind, add in another color, add stripes of samples... in other words, it is the ultimate quick change artist!

Holiday gift wrap - The 12 Wraps of Christmas

As my other business is selling gift wrap and crafting supplies on Etsy, I thought I would blur the lines between interior design and craft for the 12 Wraps of Christmas. 12 days, 12 different package ideas in a handy pinterest friendly version!


Gold foil doily pillow box is as ease as peel, cut, form, trim! I used double stick tape to glue the doily in place, however you could use glue stick, hot glue or just a roll of tape!
