I Think I May Actually Love This Idea

However much I love this idea it's not going to happen in my cottage as the staircase is a cast iron spiral. Never mind!

Several hundred wool threads are bundled, rolled ,tied, and cut, all of carefully selected high-end quality wool. There are up to 1300 woollen pompons and respectively up to 45 kg of wool forming one single object.

I Want a Ruffle Carpet

How cool is this? Ruffle Carpet by Mari Isopahkala. We have some very deep pile Gotland Sheepskin rugs in our guest room and every time I shake them money falls out. They aren't magic but Harvey gets undressed in that room and it all falls out of his pockets. I guess this one would do the same.

Stamp Rugs and a Tale of Royal Mail

I should not really be showing these to you after the day I had yesterday. I won't bore you with the details but what I will say is that Royal Mail couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. I had to travel 40 miles to do a Fast Drop of some parcels, not fast more like snail mail, only to be met with this reaction from the person on the desk 'What's Fast Drop?'
Now down to these fabulous rugs. Replicas of our Royal Mail Stamps. It's not very often you get the chance to walk all over The Queen.

Ronel Jordaan

Yes we have all seen felted pebbles before but Ronal Jordann in South Africa have taken it all a step further. Love these Sheep Lights,

felted pebbles finished with silver leaf which can be treated for outside use. How good would they look in my garden? And

a Riverbed Carpet. Fabulous stuff.

Shedding Some Light On It

How clever is this? UV Painted wooden floors so the colours only show when the sun falls on them. All I see when the sun shines on my floors is dust. By Solenne Morigeaud a Parisian surface designer.

Grassland

In my lounge sits this rug which has a tuft of grass growing out of it, well not literally as it's false but this is the best thing I have ever bought. They still sell them on my old website wheredidyoubuythat.com. Yesterday I discovered Grassland that sell

grass sheep,

grass orbs that look

fabulous in groups,

grass letters and

grass lamp shades. I get so many comments on my rug but am sure if I put that sheep on it my guests would have it confirmed that I truly am crazy.

& The Eiffel Tower

Two great new items from Maisons du Monde.

A Rug With Humour

I love to see humour in designs. This Paint Spill rug by Rainer Splitt would have your guests jumping to avoid it.

Just a Rug I Love

Do you love it too? Made from a grain sack and found at Mothology

The French and Their Floors

I came across this French Estate Agency website the other day and could have leaped right in. This is one of my favourite properties. I know I always tell people to look up for inspiration but in the case of the French, look down because they have the most amazing floors.

Floored

And I literally was floored when I saw this at Parador. What a brilliant idea for flooring. We have a friend who owns a wine company and he throws these boxes away. A light just came on above my head!

Ooh Very Nice

What a fabulous Rug. From Top Floor Rugs found at Brocade Design's blog.

And I Thought My Rug Was Crazy

The rug in the bottom picture is mine. Now I thought this was some crazy rug, based on a French landscape it has grass growing out of it. If you like it they still sell them on wheredidyoubuythat.com
The one in the picture above is seriously crazy. Available from Generate

A Great Way To Show Off a Carpet

There's nothing special about the carpets shown here but there is something special about the way they have been photographed.

Maad Or What?

It's amazing what you can do with rugs if you are French and Maad
