After 3 months of searching for a living room rug, I decided on Flor carpet tiles. They showed up yesterday and so far I’m loving it.

It took about 15 minutes to lay them out according to the map and then 45 to stick them all together. (EDIT: Since Amanda asked…the stickers go upside down to connect the tiles, but don’t stick to the floor. There is rubber on the back of the tiles to keep them from moving around.) I bought a pre-cut rug, so some of the tiles didn’t match up perfectly, but I think I’m the only one who will notice.

The chartruese matches the leaves on my curtains perfectly. Now I just need a couple lamps and I’ll be done! (for now :)
