FLOORING!
Weird I know, I haven’t been this obsessed since I stepped foot in the Viceroy Santa Monica years ago and fell in LOVE with their grey wood floor. I still plan to replicate that in the main living/dining/kitchen area of my house someday. Kelly Wearstler’s designs generally have me swooning, but none so much as this simple grey flooring.
Now onto my current obsession: natural fibers. Jute, seagrass, sisal – I haven’t decided which I like best, they all look good to me. Now this I think would be good in my bedroom if I can figure out how to tie it into the wallpaper. I think it works nicely with the indoor/outdoor theme of our Cliff May ranch house – maybe a light grey tone would be best. Anyhow this is all just dreams as we have no plans to re-floor the house anytime soon, as I mentioned I just can’t stop thinking about it and am seeing it many places which doesn’t help.

Friends do you have any random flooring obsessions to admit?
Any experience with any of these natural fibered rugs, carpets?
Now that I’ve blogged about it, maybe I can stop thinking about it…
I love the look of all of these Miranda! The feel, I can’t say from sitting in front of my computer. lol – But I love that Cabana too…ahhh, here is too dreaming. Right now, I simply dream of a backyard. =)
Funny how these are from different places, cuz they all go well together. (I currently have thing for natural colors, including ocean sea foam green with tans.) Love it!
You would have loved the whole house girlfriend! She has natural tatami floor mats as her living room floor.
Just a thought…wait til the girls are in college before getting any crazy beautiful expensive flooring!!
