Video: InterfaceFLOR mill tour

here it is finally...the first video i've done for peppermags! interfaceFLOR mill tour. enjoy!

Interior: Catawba

interfaceFLOR invited my office to go to Georgia and tour their carpet mills. not only did we find out how carpet tiles were made, but we got to stay in this fabulous 1948 mid century modern house that interface uses for their guests. it's called "catawba" and it used to belong to the Callaway family...of Callaway Gardens. it's just up the street from the gardens and overlooks the city. so perfect, so mid century modern, and so fabulous that i actually jumped up and down for joy when i got inside.

this was my fabulous room...check out their fun carpet in there and this is the most perfect view from my room...pool and cities and mountains beyond...oh my.

this was a little sitting area (den) just outside the kitchen and to the right is the dining room...again with their fun carpet. ugh, the furniture was as fabulous as the food. we had a personal chef that was to die for.

here's the living room. yes, there's my dream chair...the red womb and ottoman. i sat in it and dreamed of a life with one. i loved those knoll credenzas on the back wall too.

an overall shot of the living room with cool stone walls and exposed wood ceiling. the game room downstairs was a blast. there was a fireplace, pool table, board games, bar and a bathroom. we really didn't have to leave this room at all if we didn't want to. i had a blast and would love to go back to this beautiful home. heck, i really really want to live here. i have a video of the mill tour that i will post later today as well. stay tuned!

Furniture: Big Scrubber

i love these big scrubber outdoor stools by hen & hammock. they can also be fun little side tables and can be used indoors or out. (via room&service)

DIY: Felted Dog Leash

i love the idea of felting a colorful dog leash. check out the free pattern here on classiceliteyarns. the instructions say it's very durable but not "nibble-proof". ha. honestly, i've not found much that isn't nibble-proof in my house. (via whipup)

Recycled Content: Pavilion

a pavilion made of recycled sinks by 2012 Architechten in cooperation with Jeanne van Heeswijks of Jeanneworks. amazing. check out the article at inhabitat to find out more on this awesome structure. so cool.

Accessory: Bottle Openers

check out these cute bottle openers at urban outfitters. you can use the elephant's trunk to pop the top or the back to twist the top off of a bottle. the ring is great for those of us that like to accessorize yet be practical. i think they are both so cute!

Etsy Lunch Hour: Eleen

i love these pillows by eleen on etsy. such a fun pattern in pillow or bolster. i would like all four please. so cute! click on the photos to take you to the etsy listing.

Architecture: Gantenbein Winery

this is the coolest brick facade. gantenbein winery's fermentation room's facade, designed by gramazio & kohler architects, shows the perks of using 3d design to create an elaborate brick design...grapes! i love it.

Finish: InterfaceFlor Carpet

friday i am visiting the InterfaceFlor plant. you may recognize the name Flor for carpet tile. i've even seen Target carry Flor tiles. Interface is the commercial line of Flor tiles. i'm going to see their manufacturing plant, watch the carpet being made, learn more about their green inituative and most of all have an fun time while staying at a cool modern cabin. i promise to take pictures and document it all for you. in the meantime, check out interface's interactive website where you can see your carpet to scale on the floor of your choice or Flor's website where you buy fun carpet tiles for your home.
