apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

she is my cleaning hero

I've just done this to cover the ugly cracked concrete on my balcony! I used a plain grass mat though, since my deck chair is kelly green. :)

I need something to cover the dirt in my yard where grass should be. Otherwise when guests come over they track in so much mud. Will it work I wonder...

When my kids were younger, I actually used these type of mats (cost about $1.50 a mat at the time) to use as wall covering down the hall to their rooms. I got some cheap molding to put across the top at chair rail length. It didn't work forever because eventually with kids goofing around...it frays....but it looked great for a number of months. Our house was decorated in a tropical style....so it fit right it.

I used a set of these as a patio blind once. I got them at the dollar store and they only lasted almost the whole summer.
