Family Friendly Friday – quick decorating tips

by Karen Davis on May 18, 2012

I thought I would share a few of my photo finds that pass the Marker Girl Family Friendly motto!

Flor tiles done well for this room as rug. Have a really bad stain removing one or two tiles much easier than replacing the whole rug.
