We also call refer to them as carpet squares, in that you order by the size you need. If your based in Australia, our <a href="http://www.cyruspersiancarpets.com.au/" rel="nofollow">rugs</a> website could give you an affordable idea to the FLOR design.

For that hallway, we bought the Working Class option that Flor makes which I would totally recommend. It is very durable and with tricky, diaganol cut stairs, we were able to cut them perfectly to customize them. As far as a nursery option, we selected Toy Poodle because it was recommended for childrens rooms. I wouldnt recommend these to anyone with young children just learning to crawl because they are barely softer than the floor itself. I guess you could get a rug pad but we opted to return our purchase. They come in great colors and we were really excited but it was not very comfortable to lay/play on.

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 15:11:59 +0000 http://www.shelterrific.com/2006/04/24/catalog-review-floored-by-flor/#comment-20334 [...] Every now and then we take a moment to gush over a catalog (like Flor and Brocade Home) but last week we found ourselves digging the newest one from Pottery Barn Teen. Now, grown-up PB barely moves us. We’re just not fans of its oversized couches, heavy woods and neutral tones. But PBTeen is another matter entirely! It’s bright, curvy, brazenly girly and yes, downright chic. Unfortunately, the prices are not cheap, so it’s not like you’re saving money buying kids stuff. But still, we like it! Among our picks: Monogrammed Reese chair, $300 + $199 for the slipcover. Rose Vine sheet set, $79 and all of their chandeliers, like this one, the Bijoux, $129.

The latest edition is no exception, including the company’s first forray into a whole new realm: Dots! Or rather, buttons as the pattern above is called. There’s more than meets the eye here: each of those circles is actually divided into four pieces which can lead all sorts of pattern possibilites. The photo on top is of another pattern that immediately appealed: camoflower. Another great new pattern is called House Pet, a multi-functional, durable square that comes in many bright colors. Just a couple of more reasons to reconsider wall-to-wall, we say. What if it’s temporary?

There seems to be a range from $9 to about $15 depending on the style you choose. Hi Anna — I got the $9 price from the order form in the printed catalog.
