i’m editing and coding today’s coverage of bklyn designs (which was great this year!) but i wanted to kick things off this morning with this beautiful new concrete flooring from san francisco’s trasnparent house team. because concrete flooring has become popular in modern homes, the transparent house team decided to create an application that would add detail to the flooring without taking away from the simplicity of the style. they’ve created a way to add these soft floral patterns to polished concrete flooring either doing the pouring or after the concrete has set. i don’t know if i’ll ever live in a home with concrete floors but if you have them in your home (or would like to) just click here for more information on the application and to contact the transparent house team. [thanks, kadri and felice!]

thomas paul is launching a lovely new collection of lighting and rounded rugs at this year’s icff- here is a little sneak peek of what’s to come next week….

when i set out to build a guide to my favorite rugs in the market, i knew that tackling patterned rugs (as opposed to runners and solid-colored rugs) would be a hefty task. so rather than try to post all 70 images (some of which are collaged images of 4 or more designs) at once, i’m dividing the patterned-rugs guide into part 1 and 2. today is part one and next week i’ll run the second half- there were just too many to take in at once. so, i hope you’ll enjoy patterned rugs part one (i’ve tried to include a wide range of prices and styles)- tune in next week for part two. if you’d like to see part one, runners, just click here! for the full post on patterned rugs, click here- or just click “read more” below, there are 22 more rugs below.

today we’ve got a big rug guide coming up at 1pm so i thought i’d start today with new flooring from ruckstuhl, showing at icff this month. i love this simple, modern flooring but i’m loving the actual room styling in the photo, too. i wish i was able to showcase my mixed collections like this so they looked artfully arranged and not stacked haphazardly around the house.

today is the first of a three-part product roundup dedicated to rugs. over the next three weeks i’ll be rounding up a large selection of rugs divided into the following categories: runners, patterned rugs and solid/basic rugs. today we’re kicking things off with runners- my favorite way to add color to dark hallways. i’ve been looking for a great runner for months now and have come to the conclusion that i’m going to save up for a piece from bev hisey. below i’ve rounded up a selection of runners from various stores, but if you’re looking for more options these are some of my favorite shops to check for rugs and runners: velocity art and design, unica home, 2modern, target (they have more than i can even process), west elm, cb2, all modern, urban outfitters, anthropologie, crate and barrel and pottery barn. if you have any favorites you feel are missing, please add them in the comment section below and we’ll add them as we go along.

with icff barely two months away i’m starting to slowly get some sneak peeks at products that will be debuting this may at the javits center. one of my favorites so far is this beautiful rug from san francisco designer vicki simon. at icff vicki will be introducing her ‘taxonomy’ collection and a piece called ‘the secret life of turtles’ that depicts a series of abstract tortoise backs shown “sauntering off in their non-deliberate meandering way, while encountering dropped leaves (shown in green linen) on the way.” i love the raised green sections of this particular rug, i can just imagine how nice that would feel to walk across without socks. for more information and to contact vicki simon rugs click here.
