The Evolution Continues!



The evolution of this space continues!  The floors are finished...



...and looking great!



Cabinets and bed have been unpacked...



...inspected...



....and installed.



The much anticipated television arrived!  Now, we have to find a cabinet to hold all of the electronics!



Our FLOR arrived as well! 



We decided that we wanted to try a new product for this room.  FLOR is modular carpet tile measuring 19.7-inch X 19.7-inch that is totally customizable to any size.



Also, it's easy to install using FLORdots, non-toxic adhesives that connect the tiles to one another and not the floor so there's no risk of damaging the floor underneath.



FLOR comes in a zillion colors, textures, and patterns--with so many choices, it was a tough decision so we ordered several samples and decided on a color and style.  In the end, the style we chose is called Terra in the color Furrows.



This flooring is eco-friendly--34% of its content is made from PLA, a highly renewable derivative of corn.  And when you're ready for a change, box up your old FLOR and send it back for recycling!  Also, if there's a spill, no need to replace the entire rug:  Simply replace the soiled square.



The fun part is creating a design that works in the space.



For this particular style, no two tiles are the same so there's really no messing up--we just created a pleasing pattern.



We still have more odds and ends to complete...



...but should be finished by the time the chairs arrive next week.



The evolution continues--stay tuned!

Wow. That Flor stuff is really amazing. That's so cool that the adhesive sticks the tiles to themselves rather than the floor. Hate to see that beautiful floor covered up, but it does look striking.

Wow. I just stumbled on your site and began looking at the evolution. Keep up the good work. I would like to see more of your posts.

Anyway, that FLOR did well to spice up your space. It added a sense of movement and energy into your space with a limited color.

Good Job!
