Hello!  Is it really Friday already \u2013 how did that happen?<\/p>\n

If you have been following my blog for awhile, you may recall I pulled out the builder carpet in my daughter\u2019s room and replaced it with hardwood<\/a>. I did purchase a wool area rug but had to return it as it wreaked havoc on her allergies. <\/p>\n

And then I remembered FLOR! I have been a fan of their carpet tiles for awhile. Have you heard of them? The tiles come in a variety of unique patterns and colours that you can configure how you wish and to whatever size you need. Each tile is approx. 20\u201d x 20\u201d and is made of recycled fibres.<\/p>\n

When I spied the Vintage Vibe rug<\/a> on their site, I knew it would be perfect for M\u2019s room for the foot of her bed. <\/p>\n

\"via<\/a><\/p>\n

Vintage Vibe<\/a> is their take on the Moroccan Beni Ouarain rugs that you are seeing everywhere.  There are subtle irregularities in the pattern that make it look time-worn like an authentic Beni would. I also like that it doesn\u2019t have a high pile and isn\u2019t plush so it\u2019s much easier to clean. I LOVE when decor items are functional and stylish.<\/p>\n

Speaking of cleaning, if you do get a spill you can just rinse the tile(s) off with water! If the stain is stubborn (I\u2019m thinking something like nail polish), then you can always replace the specific tile. I think that is one of the huge selling features of FLOR.  <\/p>\n

\"via

The grey and cream colours are a perfect counter to the bold floral and pink\/coral\/red in the room.  If I ever change the colour palette (she says she wants blue next), this rug will still work.<\/p>\n

Laying the floor tiles was simple. This was a \u201crug\u201d so it came with a set number of  Vintage Vibe squares for the center and a border of the Jitterbug tiles (a zigzag.) My daughter had fun laying out the tiles how she wanted. <\/p>\n

\"via

The rug stays together with Flordot adhesives that you secure under the rug to each square.<\/p>\n

\"via

Her allergies have not been affected at all with the rug in her room now for a few weeks. And I like that the low-pile won\u2019t trap dust etc. like a rug with shaggy yarns would.<\/p>\n

\"via

It\u2019s the perfect size, colour and pattern for the room.<\/p>\n

\"via

The rug really makes the room feel warm and is more comfortable for sitting on when a bunch of her friends are over. It\u2019s also soft on her feet when she\u2019s doing what she does best!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What do you think? Take a look at their site<\/a> to see the endless possibilities and solutions for any room in your home.  They just released a Fall collection and I am loving the Jump Jive and Swing Beat.<\/p>\n

Have a happy weekend!<\/p>\n

Please note that this post was partially sponsored by FLOR but all of the thoughts and opinions are my own. I truly love this product and even recommend it to clients.<\/em><\/p>\n
