“AS A CHILD I WOULD SPEND SATURDAY MORNINGS STRETCHED OUT ON OUR WARM, SOFT CARPET, WATCHING CARTOONS. SOMETHING ABOUT THAT LIVING ROOM FLOOR REALLY STUCK WITH ME ALL THESE YEARS; THAT FLOOR MADE THE HOUSE FEEL LIKE HOME.

THE FLOOR OF A HOME IS THE ONLY SURFACE THAT PEOPLE ARE IN CONSTANT CONTACT. THE WALLS OF THE ROOM START OUT BLANK AND OFFER A PLACE TO SHOW OFF WHO YOU ARE. THE FLOOR HOWEVER IS WHERE THE ROOM SHOWS YOU ITS STYLE, WHERE IT REALLY CONNECTS WITH YOU.”
