flor choices, and I love Martha

This is the giant selection of Flor tile samples I’ve ordered over the last few months in preparation for picking one for the living room at my family’s beach house. We decided pretty quickly to go with Flor, because it means that when renters (aka barn animals, according to my mom) spill/stain/ruin part of the [...]
