Thank goodness, because her namesake collection with the cool company doesn't only work for homes with a traditional sensibility like most of her other lines. There are nine color waves, several textures and even bold patterns like the "Needlepoint Stripe" above.
Best of all you can work the carpet "tiles" to make any sort of floor covering -- runner, rug, wall-to-wall carpet -- to fit your needs. Visit www.flor.com to start shopping.

Weekend project

I made use of this graphic designer scarf by turning it into a pillow. You can too by just sewing your beloved misfit to a piece of suede or cotton and stuffing it with an insert.
Make it look fancy for about $50 by taking it to a pro. Have him or her add piping to the edges to make it super posh.
