New Flooring

One of my favorite, new-to-me products is Bamboo Chilewich. I decided to use it in our camp trailer to cover up the white vinyl floor. (White flooring anywhere, most especially in a recreational vehicle, is ill-conceived.)

Completed!
So glad to get rid of the white floor. Talk about inconvenient for camping. It was impossible to keep clean. This flooring, on the other hand, is not only cushioned which will make the camp trailer floor much warmer, but the color and texture are sure to cover up practically anything that is tracked in. And the best part? I can take it out and hose it off. We laid it directly on top of the the vinyl for this very reason. It fits wall to wall, but it is essentially a large area rug.

What good looking flooring - useful and beautiful! That you can hose it off is the ultimate in practicality. And I see Mark is a fan of blue painter's tape - another highly useful product!

what great texture!
I have an old white floor in my kitchen, vintage unknown to me...so i know what you've gone through trying to keep it clean. Mopping lasts as long as it's damp, by the time it has dried, it needs it again!
