Rainbow Stripe Floor

This awesome colorful stripey floor was spotted at a Kate Spade store and snapped by Rebecca June. This view of the floor looks like tape to me, so with ten seconds and the Google search “vinyl floor tape” I determined that there is, indeed, such a thing as vinyl floor tape, and it comes in more colors than I would have guessed. It’s used for demarcations on warehouse flooring and gymnasium floors, and it isn’t even that expensive. It might be hard to find tape in Kate Spade’s primo palette, though!

My favorite vinyl tape colors (and selection) was found at: The 5s Store

                       1/4 inch tape comes in a bunch of colors and is only $2 per roll
                          1 inch tape is about $3.25 a roll
                     2-inch and 3-inch tape also available for a bit more money and in fewer colors

Please, someone out there buy this tape and make an awesome floor design with it!

A Small Nook done Perfectly!

From looking at the photo, it's hard to say whether it was an existing awkward space (under the stairs?) that they beautified or whether they carved out space into the wall intentionally to build the bench. Either way the result is fantastic. The cloud-shape of the nook comes from the paneling so it's easy to change out or remove.

Tree Art!

I've been seeing stuff in our tree bark more and more since we put the pool up, so I used some sidewalk chalk and colored them so everyone could see!
