Adorn with Pattern. We posted about the new FLOR offerings last week and according to the FLOR website, Souk Chic Blue and Souk Chic Multi (above, left) are already on backorder until the 28th of September. As a more traditional alternative, we noticed Pottery Barn's Francesca Rug (above, right) is a similar look and available in a range of sizes...

FYI: Pottery Barn's Francesca rug copies/reproduces/whatever ABC Carpet & Home's fabulous Fragments patchwork carpet that was released in 2005 and extensively covered in the New York Times and Traditional Home and used prominently in ABC's national advertising campaign ... ABC's version is made of pieces cut from vintage and antique carpets.

I like the way that FLOR reinvented the pattern mix with such vibrant colors. Not just another take-off. I have their carpet tiles in another style now and they're great. I have a toddler and a dog so I appreciate that they clean up so easily. I also love that I can recreate the look of my space by switching them around. Style that doesn't put a big dent in my wallet and is environmentally friendly - gotta love it!
