swatch: flor

 

all squares in lime by flor

flor is modular carpet tiles in a huge range of patterns, colors and thicknesses (they even make round ones).  low-VOC, recycled content, washable, replaceable, and adaptable - which is a definite plus for couples (like us) who aren't exactly "settled" yet - flor tiles are definitely worth considering if you are in the market for a new rug.  plus, they have a return & recycle program, and a good steward to the land is a good friend to me.  b and i settled on the above "all squares" in lime to cozy up our tiled living room and have been loving it for the better part of a year now.

swatch: brian everett's home

photo by from me to you

b got me into mid-century design and of course the eames' sealed the deal for me.  so i was pretty much in love when i stumbled upon this photo.  one look and said to myself, "brian everett, meet your new best friend - me."  once i started reading the article... he is an industrial designer with a line for CB2, his wife is an architect who shares his love for mid-century craft... i knew we were kindred spirits. tack on flor tiles in the basement and a hot pink table on the patio and well, we are practically friends for life.
