Lie Like a Rug, Part 2


I didn't really think there was any way the snowy weather on the East cost could affect my life at all. Until I ordered my Flor tiles, that is.

And waited.

And waited.

And waited for my lovely little carpet squares to arrive in the mail.

I was very surprised today when they finally came via UPS. I thought no one was delivering on Presidents' Day. Obviously UPS is above such trivial holidays.

Well, I love how they look but I think I might want to add more, like a half border. I'll just live with them for a bit and then decide. They are a tiny bit shabbier than the original, single sample I purchased. Yet once I put them all together (in a snap, by the way) I didn't notice the shabbier ones at all.

The cats certainly like them.

Mr. Moneypenny likes to practice his yoga on them.
Whereas Vincent was a little confused about where the old rug went.

  1. Looks good! I ordered enough tiles so that our "rug" reached under our couch. Of course, then Pandora leaked on quite a few of them and our rug is temporarily much smaller!

  2. looks great. I don't think it's too small, but I guess it never hurts to have a few extra on hand...

  3. Fun! Do they feel soft and cozy underfoot, or is the finish more firm?

  4. They are firm, but still comfortable to walk on. I love that the cats can't mess it up since it's so firm. They used to scratch and dive into the other rug and made a mess of it nearly every day!

  5. AWWEEE Cute kitties! Your rug looks great. I would have never thought they were tile rugs. I know how you feel about wanting it a little larger. My living room rug was about the same size and I ended up taking it out.
