It’s that room in your house that hardly ever gets used and we all have one. Call it the guestroom, the craft room, the collect all or the home gym. It has so many purposes, yes that versatile room and yet so little character. That design and decor that gives the rest of your home a personal touch is lacking or forgotten all together.

So this year, inspire creativity. Feed the mind, body and spirit and do so starting with that fifth wall.The blank canvas that is your floor. There are so many fun and exciting things available now to not just spice up a room, but to give it a total transformation and redefine the idea of a PERSONAL space. Do you want something soft to sit and lay on try a carpet with a pattern, they add depth to your decor and can come in anything from pin dot to “Tiger Stripes.”

Want a hard surface? Now cork and linoleum have so many fun and exciting designs you can make virtually any pattern or design. What ever you do think about you? Put yourself in this room make it yours. Inspire yourself. Enjoy your home!

I want to save forests, recycle and give back everything that I can for myself and my family. The problem I’ve found is that green doesn’t just refer to our mission in life of saving the environment, it also refers to those few dollars and cents I fight to hold on to. Because being green can be expensive, very expensive.

However I’ve found that being green in the flooring world is getting easier and (thank goodness) cheaper. Flooring choices are becoming much more durable, can be used longer and either be refinished or cleaned. There are so many fashionable yet practical solutions to your flooring needs. Whether it’s pets, kids or a messy spouse there are an infinite number of solutions.

Flooring 101 has carpets available that are made 100% from recycled soda bottles, and we have taken steps to stop throwing old carpeting in land fills, by reclaiming and recycling.  We have wood floors that use less raw materials, and some wood floors have even been reclaimed out of old abandoned buildings. But, the best part is that it’s affordable. Whether it’s for one room or your whole house lets make this world a better place and save some money while we do it.
