Do you see a pattern.
So here is a close up of my new vinyl flooring. Leaves!
There is a story behind this flooring. When I first moved into my house, back in 2001, I had new carpet put in and new flooring in the kitchen. Which was smaller at that time and I had a different flooring put down before I did my remodel 3 years ago. At that time I had a Utility room, 10 feet by 12 feet. Well I put off new flooring in that room, though I had what I wanted all picked out. Are you thinking was it this leaf pattern. Yes it was. I still had the catalog showing this pattern with big circles and X's all over it. Though when I did my remodel 5 years down the road, in 2006, I don't know what I was thinking. When it came time to get the flooring it was wood flooring, bamboo to be exact, that I went with. Don't get me wrong wood flooring is a great thing. I lived with it for a few years. Then in one of my many decluttering moods. I came across that old flooring catalog with this leaf pattern. It still spoke to me. Surprising enough the pattern was still being made. The wood floor just didn't represent me, in my house. This is me. I love the Fall season. All the leaves as they change colors. The crisp morning air.
So this was just one of my summer projects taking place. Stay tuned for the exterior transformation of my yard. Still in progress.
The wood flooring, you may ask, was able to be pulled up and went to a good home. My brother and sister-in-laws.
Still moving forward.

Melissa, I love the look! I don't know if you know this but I am a leaf fanatic myself. I cannot think of any piece of jewelry that doesn't, whether figuratively or realistically include some form of leaves in my work. Maybe only in the design of the clasp or some such, but leaves are so darn beautiful that is hard to keep them out.
It looks gorgeous, enjoy it in good health and creative happiness.
