Web watch: Floor story

This is trainspotting for rug nerds.

I love the beautiful flexible textiles woven from wood by German designer Elisa Strozyk and the Goodweave rug, an ethical label against child labour in the rug industry, that Chatty Man, Alan Carr chooses to grace his set floor with, lets just say it gets the Royal stamp of approval. If you’ve always fancied a tattoo but couldn’t commit, the Hello Sailor Rug might be the less painful option, although you might feel it in the phóca at a cheeky €1,890. Click on the Something Different tab for, well, you get the idea.

2. You wanna talk jive

Shannon is into everyday happenings, home ownership, photography, and animal rescue. A self-confessed chalk paint junkie who wore glasses on her wedding day, this Liz Lemon-loving lady has an impressive amount crossed off her 30 before 30 list. Slightly less impressive when you read the list: “Transfer this blog to a WordPress format” and “go to the gym at least once a week”. On the other hand she has: “No more IKEA” and “Place at least five foster dogs in happy homes” so I’d better not jive talk her too much.
