Since I am living in a Maine cottage....
there is mud, and salt etc in the winter months.
There is not much pavement here.
Need I say more.
It is a 3rd world!!!!
Trust me on this-
it is in every way.
No shopping,
The contractors / handy men are working with an IQ of 72 ....if that.
So
YOU BETTER KNOW HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF.
Now where I work they sell carpet tiles.
But these are GLUE down.
This is not for me ,
I have a beautiful wood floor.
The above example is what i will use in my family room,
the TV room off the kitchen.
You can design your own floor on their very friendly planner as shown above
The great thing about carpet tiles is this.....
if you get a stain just replace the tile.
This is what I love.
You can build carpet style you want.
They even have a sisal look carpet.
They have chevron tiles as well ,
but only in grey.
And for a childs room.....what could be better?
Here is how you put it together.....
Sticky dots that do not stick to the floor-
Just to the back of the carpet tiles.
What could be better??

ReplyDeleteThese are interesting I have seen them before but never new how they worked.
Enjoy your week!
it's been really interesting putting this tiny cottage together. the renovations are really the difficult part. the decor will be the easiest part and the most fun. david and i are really struggling with the long winters. next year we have a plan....
