Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Around my house if there is a problem to be tackled the response always somehow has an element of FLOR in it. I’m not just talking about home decorating problems either. Take for example the backyard production of “The Wizard of Oz” that my three young sons participated in a few weeks ago. It was fund raiser for Relay For Life; an annual American Cancer Society event. The production had lots of talented kids, handmade costumes, a backyard stage and the obligatory inflatable flying monkeys.

The kids needed to leave the stage several times during the show and walk out into the crowd to traverse the yellow brick road on their trek to the Emerald City. The road was, as with most municipal projects, given to the lowest bidder. Although it looked good it was a bit unstable in a stiff breeze.

You know where this is going. We used FLOR carpet tiles to secure the yellow brick road. We laid down a few tiles of House Pet in Canary at each intersection, cut them in half (to look like pavers), and FLORdotted them together to anchor the path. Just like that FLOR became a supporting cast member. 

It was amusing to watch my sons, who played the scarecrow, the lion and the wizard, bragging to all of their friends, their respective parents and elementary school teachers the that road was paved in FLOR. Further proving that if your purchasing flooring listening to your heart, your brain or your big ol’ green head FLOR is the answer.
