Those rugs would look good in our office. :) I love to put up rugs here as I also love to lie down there

and rub it softly with my hands.

Thanks for sharing. I'll go check out your other entries about Alexander Girard's designs. This is

interesting.

I love the bright colors and the fun sun designs.

I also like the Souk Chic.

By  lace, at 6/02/2008 5:42 PM  

Girard's designs remind me of happy summer days. I also love the Twiggy Moss...not to mention the cool wide waled/textured ones. SO many to choose from!

By  Anonymous, at 6/02/2008 7:36 PM  

I love the Disney prints. These rugs look very comfy and durable. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Alexander Girard's stuff makes me smile. Even in the middle of winter when it's been raining for 40 days straight.

And as for the Flor prints... well, I think I just need to have one of each tile so that I can make a crazy patchwork rug to cover my whole house.

By  Wendy, at 6/02/2008 10:33 PM  

I love how bright and eclectic his designs are. Totally my style.

I also adore the "Souk Chic" flor design in multi!

I love alexander girard's designs- the colors and prints, make me happy. Esp the sun's. They can be bright and bit, but never feel overdone. One of my favorite FLOR carpet designs is the Between the Lines set. laurachilton {at} hotmail {dot} com

By  Laura, at 6/03/2008 12:06 AM

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 1:47 AM  

Girard's design's are so cheerful and bright. I also love the "soux chic" and "if there be thorn's" patterns at Flor.

By  Kristen M., at 6/03/2008 4:03 AM  

I just love his designs...I love flor because you can place them however you want..great concept...

I LOVE his designs and would LOVE to win! My daughter's room is in such desperate need of a rug over the wood floor, and she would totally go nuts to win. I like Between The Lines. Thanx for the giveaway. cdziuba@aol.com

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 4:38 AM  

I love the FLOR patterns, colors, playfulness, and ecological basis. My favorite (today, anyway) is the Organic Overlay in Foliage.

By  Aisling, at 6/03/2008 4:50 AM  

Love the one you have in the contest....but also love the colours in "souk chic". What a great discovery!

By  E. Shen, at 6/03/2008 5:15 AM  

These rugs are lovely and functional. I love the Trill Ride!

By  mar, at 6/03/2008 5:32 AM  

I love these bold, colorful designs. I've been looking at the everyday rugs at Lowe's, but these are awesome and it will be hard to go back to Basics.

By  listening2u, at 6/03/2008 5:38 AM  

I absolutely adore Alexander Girard's prints. My husband laughs and says "Oh, now you have a favorite RUG designer"? Ah but, Girard is so much more than that! Artistry divine!
My favorite from the site comes naturally, from his collection. I love the La Fonda del Sol Pequeno!
I have the perfect room for the giveaway rug! I just remodeled the dining room and INSISTED on all cream, cream walls, cream rug. The rug looks horrible but I cannot admit to hubby. To win this would be a dream. But I don't want anybody walkin on it...

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 5:50 AM  

Love Flor and love Alexander Girard! In fact thought of you when I saw his dolls at the SF MOMA shop last month.

I love whichever Flor pattern will stand up to the kids and the dawg so I'm guessing housepet. But I'd really love the AG rug!

By  Mom101, at 6/03/2008 5:56 AM  

What's not to love - what a great partnership! i've always thought about creating a FLOR rug, but never was totally in love with any of the designs, though I do love Twiggy and Stampede, but NOW - OH, MY!

By  Molly & Bea & T., Tra-Lee, at 6/03/2008 6:00 AM  

Girard's designs are just fun, kind of psychedelic, and gorgeous colors. Besides his print in Verde I am loving Tapete in turquoise. My new obsession is turqoise and tangerine...trying to convince the husband that's how we should decorate the new living room.

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 6:08 AM  

I love the La Fonda del Sol
Mandarina and the La Fonda del Sol
Azul and also the La Fonda del Sol
Pequeno, actually I like them all but those three are my favourites, I love the colors and designs Alexander Girard uses to create his rugs. Thanks ModMom.

By  melonkelli, at 6/03/2008 6:20 AM  

oh the girard is wonderful! would look amazing in our playroom! other prints i love are the old evidently phased out kid's room prints - i am sad i missed my chance to get me a big Happy Landings rug, but i've ordered some jig's up samples to see if those will work in the nursery.

By  julie beth, at 6/03/2008 6:23 AM  

I love everytnhing about these rugs. The colors, the designs, the quality.My living room would really take on a whole new look with this fabulous rug.

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 6:41 AM  

Alexander Girard's designs are so chic and retro, yet modern at the same time. My favorite Flor print would have to be the Disney Cars.

By  jenna, at 6/03/2008 6:43 AM  

How could you not smile and be happy seeing a Girard design? They're bright and cheery; great for kid's rooms or mom's office!

My favorite design in the whole entire universe is the La Fonda Del Sol-Pequeno.

I ADORE Organic Overlay and Willow (in magenta, of course). They include a gorgeous array of color and imagination, & they would really do my boring room a world of good. So cute.

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 7:04 AM  

The greatest part about all of the carpet tiles is if you get a stain you can just replace one little tile and not the WHOLE rug, I love that most of all!!!!!

Girard's collections are bold and beautiful: I love La Fonda del Sol "Azul", I think these designs are to good to be on the floor and would look awesome on a wall.... the Azul would be a perfect fit for our bedroom wall!

My favourites at FLOR are The Jigs Up because they can be used in a child's room and still look elegant, and the Square Dance collection because you can have them form circles and then change it around to make a windmill design.. great for people like me who love to rearrange a lot!!

Eco friendly is the way to go these days, everybody seems to be getting involved in one way or another and that is great to see everyone doing there part, whether big or small!

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 7:42 AM  

I love the FLOR genre! Thanks mod*mom for introducing me to it!!! My favorite in the del sol collection is the Azul! I would LOve to add this to my home!! :)

By  butterflyny, at 6/03/2008 7:44 AM  

I'm so inspired by Alexander Girard...his designs are beautifully simplistic, yet colorful enough to spice up any boring room. God I sound like I'm trying to sell YOU his designs!

By  Danielle, at 6/03/2008 7:58 AM  

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these rugs, and I would be so happy to own one. We just bought a house and are starting to buy some things, these rugs would be a fantastic addition.

The hopscotch is my fav!

I like the blue Botanicals rug. It would look lovely in my guest room. Overall I like Girad's designs. They area really modern with interesting shapes and lines.

By  Fangirl Jen, at 6/03/2008 9:01 AM  

Wow! These colors are amazing. How cool is it that they are made from recycled materials! While I love the Pequeno, the Mandarina goes better with the colors in my house.

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 9:01 AM  

Walking on Clouds in Baby Blue Eyes (we have those in my boys' room). The new Girad design would be sooo beautiful in the boys' playroom - fun but not too "babyish".

Thanks,

By  NSMOM, at 6/03/2008 9:06 AM  

I really like his bold colors and style. Also the eco-friendly aspect is great too. I like the Cream very bold yet nutural at the same time. katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.

By  elana, at 6/03/2008 9:51 AM  

Alexander Girard crosses mod with metro, and makes it work beautifully. The Multiform Pen from Acme Studio is simple, chic elegance.

This is a wonderful giveaway.

I got my FLOR catalogue yesterday and was drooling over the new designs. They are fantastic! I love all the FLOR designs... I can never pick a favorite. They are all so fun. I think it would be fun to get the Fedora tiles and make custom stripes out of them... there's a how-to on the last page of the catalogue. AMAZING!!

i'm evan and my email is revsanford@gmail.com.

Ocean Think n'thin, I am in the process of pulling up my son's carpet, there is hardwood underneath but this would look great in the middle of his room. He's thirteen and I think this print would be perfect.

By  Unknown, at 6/03/2008 12:09 PM  

I really like his designs. The "Pequeno" is my favorite of his collection, but I really love the "Morning Coffee" rug. I'd love to win. Thanks for the chance.

By  danosor, at 6/03/2008 1:49 PM  

Awe Girard~ *swoon*
His designs are the epitomy of retro modernism that just have that timeless "cool" factor you can't help but love. His use of color is unlike any other textile designer and it just makes you feel so happy when you see them! I love that he hooked up w/ FLOR! Even if I don't win, I'm now going to have to scrounge up extra $$ to get some of those tiles! Aside from his collection, I dig FLOR's patterns. Willow is pretty eye-catching ^-^

By  Jules, at 6/03/2008 1:53 PM

Amazing lace IS amazing, and absolutely gorgeous. I do love the idea of eco-friendly rugs, because so many are made with terrible chemicals or the process is highly polluting.

By  Rattlesnakechili, at 6/03/2008 2:59 PM  

I am so excited to see this giveaway because I love the fun colors and patterns the designs have. They are so unique but very attractive, I don't own anything as cool as these designs.

I also love the Disney
Classic Pooh designs.

I've been waiting for what seems like forever for the Girard FLOR tiles to be released, how fun! I'm lucky enough to own Alexander Girard alphabet pillows, which I absolutely adore. His Vitra wooden dolls always catch my eye with their curious and whimsical shapes, colors, and expressions. We've actually been seriously considering getting FLOR tiles for our family room and I've had my eye on the Stampede pattern in grey or brown.

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 7:52 PM

By  Anonymous, at 6/03/2008 8:35 PM  

Love, love, love the Girard FLOR tiles, they make me feel bright,cheery and happy inside! I also love the straight and narrow tiles. They would look perfect in my art studio.

By  Unknown, at 6/03/2008 8:48 PM  

I love the warm/tangerine color way of the Girard Flor carpet tiles. I have a short wall in my family room and I think the 6x6 would look great as wall art!

By  C.L. Davis, at 6/03/2008 8:55 PM  

The Girard designs are colorful and fun. I also like the Martha

Girard's designs are fresh and vibrant! My favorite Flor design is "Between the Lines" in cream.....I know, I'm so boring, but this would go perfect with my decor!

By  Anonymous, at 6/05/2008 5:31 AM  

I like Girard's design. A little bright for me usually but since we are working on a play room for our kids, the bright and cheering colors would really work beautifully. My favorite is from the Martha Stewart collection-Corrugated Rib in Laurel

By  Emilie, at 6/05/2008 10:12 AM  

They're so cheerful and would go perfectly with my bright, eclectic home. I like the Crazy Daisy a lot too, and Jigs Up is great.

By  jennem, at 6/05/2008 10:56 AM  

Girard is a genius! Love all of his designs. My favorite on the Flor site is the Button rugs.

By  Anonymous, at 6/05/2008 11:36 AM  

Love, love, love them! Love Flor. Perfect for my nursery! I would LOVE any of them!

So bright, so cheerful! I love the "La Fonda del Sol-Verde" printed tiles. There are so many possibilities to bring some joy and whimsy with color into any room.

Can it be my family room, please?

By  Unknown, at 6/05/2008 7:05 PM  

i love Girard's work things that are pleasing to both momma and baby- and i'm still kicking myself for passing up the Flor pieces i caught on clearance at Target last month.

i love girard's designs. his work is amazing, i really love the colors and the patterns. the rugs are cute and definitely would cheer up my home.

my favorite is VERDE.

By  Knead a Latte - Ruby, at 6/06/2008 1:37 PM  

Alexander Girard's designs are so fantastic. They remind me of innocence, joy, summertime, and totally appeal to my sense of whimsy. To have FLOR tiles with these designs is like a marriage in heaven. I never had a favorite FLOR line, I always thought of them as purely functional, but now, my favorite are the Girard designs. They would look fantastic in my baby's nursery which we did in orange and pink. Once she is born, I want her to grow up surrounded by joyful things.

By  Anonymous, at 6/06/2008 1:41 PM  

I think his design's are very trendy and cool. My favorite print of his carpets is Twiggy. I suspect his designs may have been inspired by the era when Twiggy was popular.

By  jfg06001, at 6/06/2008 2:36 PM  

I love the colors he uses and especially the one you are giving away plus La Fonda del Sol in Azul!

By  miriama, at 6/06/2008 2:43 PM  

I love the designs, I particularly love "Between the Lines", which would look wonderful in my living room!

Love the Girard designs, and the Terra tiles, as a matter of fact I like them all.
Mahalo!

By  Sunny, at 6/07/2008 3:04 AM  

Love the new Girard, but the Disney ones are tied. I can't decide.

By  Elizabeth, at 6/07/2008 4:46 AM  

LOVE anything Girard and the Flor rugs are especially brilliant!

By  meka foo, at 6/07/2008 7:00 AM  

I think Alexander Girard's are so cheerful and lively and will brighten any room up even on the gloomiest of days. Every room needs a focal point, and splashes of color and Alexander Girard's 6-tile rugs are perfect for those prominent places you want to accentuate! I love the colors in his patterns and the hues of the colors. They are not overly bright and over bearing, they are just the right intensity. They make me happy and smile when I look at the designs. I would most definitely place these in a room I spend the most amount of time in because then I would be happy all the time in my home! My favorite FLOR eco-friendly carpet prints are the La Fonda del Sol Azul, ORGANIC OVERLAY™, WILLOW™, and TWIGGY™. They are all fabulous so it was hard to narrow it down to just a few! Thanks for offering this very fab giveaway!

By  joannaonthelake, at 6/07/2008 12:48 PM  

I think his designs are bright and colorful and would be a great addition to any home

By  Unknown, at 6/07/2008 12:58 PM  

Thank you for cluing me and everyone in on a great eco-friendly carpet source. With a lot of rugs you have to let all the chemical smells disperse for days & still??
The carpets are lovely. I especially like the la fonda del sol collection and the quilt rug.

By  Anonymous, at 6/07/2008 3:25 PM  

I love all the pattern! My fave is the La Fonda Del Sol Pequena. Beautiful, bright...fun!

By  Hazel Martin Designs, at 6/08/2008 1:53 AM  

I love all of them but my kids really love the Disney prints.

By  Heather, at 6/08/2008 8:39 AM  

The Cars Disney print

By  Anonymous, at 6/08/2008 12:56 PM  

I think his designs are sooooo bright and cheerful--the sun designs would be great in our sunroom.

By  Sue Farrell, at 6/08/2008 4:16 PM  

I love Girard's designs - they are the perfect way to brighten up any room! I especially love the classic quilt!

By  kamewh, at 6/08/2008 4:44 PM  

Girard's designs are so ultra cool 60's but still with a modern edge. Love him.
Flor's organic overlay is really speaking to me at this moment...

I love the designs

By  Valerie Taylor Mabrey, at 6/09/2008 7:19 AM  

These flor tiles are so amazing, Alexander Girard is one of my favorites designers from the Mid century modern era. His work is so fun and bright, I love them!!!!!

The tiles would look so perfect in Connor's nursery (he's 10 months old now), we lived in a mcm home in Reston, VA.

La fonda del sol en verde es mi FAVORITA, ME ENCANTA!

Also would be a n amazing father's day gift for my husband (is his first time) to put in his office......!

His designs are very bright and vibrant and would look good in some of our rooms. I particularly liked his La Fonda del Sol
Azul design.

By  Jayfr, at 6/09/2008 9:52 AM  

These designs are so sunny and will certainly brighten any home.

By  teddi, at 6/09/2008 10:12 AM  

how gloriously ful of color. I would love to have that as an entry rug.

By  Anonymous, at 6/09/2008 12:43 PM  

I've been eyeing the Martha Stewart Needlpoint Stripe for the family room

By  phxbne, at 6/09/2008 1:10 PM  

I really like the girard designs and think it would go perfectly in the playroom, My favorite pattern on the site is probably the organic overlay in green. We are in need of a new rug and this is definitely a front runner.

I just love his designs! There are all kinds of different design paths, from palace prints and hearts to colorful dolls and blocks! So cool!
I love the Straight and Narrow tiles, since there are such colorful choices!
My email address is in my profile. Thank you!

By  /\Heather/\, at 6/09/2008 6:21 PM  

I like the fact that they're recycled, and that you can pick up just one to clean or replace it. My favorites are the Camellia and Laurel strip prints.

By  Elisa Morrison, at 6/09/2008 6:42 PM  

I am so excited about the Girard FLOR titles.... these are by far my favorite development in the FLOR line. My wife and I made a special trip to San Francisco to see the Girard exhibit there, and our house is dotted with Girard suns and patterns. It's a real shame more of his work isn't licensed for use.

By  Richard, at 6/09/2008 9:12 PM  

These designs are playful and fun!

By  abeaudet, at 6/10/2008 4:46 AM  

what fun! From the FLOR tiles, my favorite is the "Martha Stewart Between the Lines" --- She knows about Lines --- waiting in them at the chowroom, reflecting on the line shadows on the floor of her cell --- anyway, they remind me of being a kid at my grandparents kitchen in dublin ohio! great for bobby jr to crawl inside and outside the line, and learn to cross the line when necessary. Thanks again mod*mom ! !

By  Bobby, at 6/10/2008 4:28 PM  

I love this rug! The Alexander Girard designs are so much fun, they are gorgeous! FLOR is amazing, they have awesome products and the Twill Ride looks like it would be a great addition to most rooms. Thanks for this offer!

The international love heart floor mat is pretty cool and I'd love to have that. As far as Flor in general, I'm loving the Souk Chic area rugs. Spectacular!

By  Anonymous, at 6/11/2008 3:16 PM  

my favorite is the Girard featured run but I also love the organic overlay and willow. We have neutrals in my house and I would love to add a splash of color. LOVE FLOR!

By  Unknown, at 6/11/2008 8:23 PM  

OMG they are so bright and fun.. Id love to have a rug to go out on my sunroom.. how perfect would that be?

By  vboackle, at 6/12/2008 4:46 PM  

Would love to have his cheery rug in my kitchen or laundry to make the household drudgery more enjoyable! I'd love the jigsaw one on clearance too for the kiddos' playroom!

By  Diana (Ladybug Limited), at 6/12/2008 8:24 PM  

He's trendy, cheeky and I like his designs. It is something anyone would want in their home.

I also like the Girard collection, I've always thought that was my favorite, and perfect in my kitchen!

By  Crunchy Green Mom - Suzanne, at 6/12/2008 10:08 PM  

I think the Girard collection will fit right in down here in the South West. I am torn between his stuff and the Organic Overlay pieces.

By  bluenude3, at 6/13/2008 6:02 PM  

It's wonderful how you can piece together whatever you want, in design and color scheme. My favorites include 'She loves you' and 'Crazy Daisy'

By  sillelin, at 6/13/2008 6:57 PM  

I love how to Girard rug is so bold and fun! I love the color combos and how happy it looks. :) Another favorite is the "Jigs Up" tiles - how cool is that?! And the kiddies love it! :)

By  kevnjacks, at 6/13/2008 7:22 PM  

I'm DYING to get my hands on these squares! What a fab idea - want to cover all floors with this!

By  Molly & Bea & T., Tra-Lee, at 6/14/2008 5:32 AM  

I like that he has both bold colors/patterns and more neutral traditional ones as well.

My favorite is a tie. I thought I'd prefer the bright patterns, but instead, I find I like the more subdued ones the best.

I love House Pet Parakeet and Walking on Clouds Baby Blue Eyes.

By  Reiza, at 6/14/2008 7:22 AM  

I really like Alexander Girard's designs ... they are so colorful and bright and for me, puts a smile on my face. I am torn between which one is y favorite FLOR eco-friendly carpet print. I like both the Jigs Up and and Thick and Thing. Actually I like a lot of them. :)

By  ...team leung..., at 6/14/2008 9:36 AM  

The Alexander Girard rugs would be perfect in my daughter's room. They are fun & cheery w/o being juvenile. I also like the Jigs Up (wish they would offer this in more neutral colors), Thick & Thin, & Stampede.
