Since I have been noticing floorcloths a lot lately – <a href="http://sweetsomethingdesign.blogspot.com/2010/07/diy-chevron-floorcloth.html">chevron patterns</a> seen on numerous design blogs and a large scale shell painted on one at the <a href="http://www.seacoastonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/misc?url=/_flash/gallery/gallery.html&Site=SO&Date=20100715&Category=PHOTOS0110&ArtNo=715009999&Ref=PH">York Decorator Show House</a> – I thought it would be nice to share a bit of this conversation with you ... <a href="http://thefocusondesign.blogspot.com/2010/08/color-seriesrusty-robins-and-canvas.html">Click here</a> for more about floorcloths in the words of Rosanne Palazola Question: What would your floorcloth look like if you were to commission (or make one) for your home? <a href="http://canvasworksfloorcloths.com/wordpress/2010/08/04/if-you-could-have-any-floorcloth-for-your-home-what-would-it-look-like">Click here</a> to add your thoughts on the Canvasworks blog, or feel free to share your comments here! </div>
