Congratulations!

(Are you going to be there longer than a year or so? Because, if so, you might want to consider doing something about the floors. I know it seems silly to invest anything in a rental place, but after a couple of years, you start to wonder why you didn't just do something about that thing that's been pissing you off...and then you say, oh, well, I should have done it back then, since it doesn't make any sense to do it now, and then more time slips by while the annoying thing keeps annoying you. Not that I know what you could reasonably do about seafoam green mystery floors, anyway.)

Are you allowed to paint the floor? I went to someone's house with really cute painted floors last week. But, then again, this is going to be a total bachelor pad. Cute floors would be incongruous.

We were thinking we'd cover them with empty beer cans and dirty dishes, but cute painted floors is an option to consider.

On the other hand, I know an artist who does vinyl floor installations. Hmm.

Vinyl tile, the stick-on kind, is pretty easy and cheap.

The apartment I rented in Germany had that faux-wood Ikea stick-on stuff, which I mocked mercilessly for about two months. And then I got to liking it.

Congrats!

an artist who does vinyl floor installations...

Ah, Zobop. But a couple of tabs of acid would be cheaper, and even better, the effects go away.

Don't dismiss the ease and flexibility of indoor bark mulch.

viva sea green, kill zobop. but lily cox-richard would really rock out some bachelorish, topology fun stuff.

Congratulations!

I hear Wreck's a big fan of organge shag carpeting.

Adonde son los digital photographs, primo? Where are the digital photographs?

We saw the place, filled out the apps, and submitted them; a week later, the guy called us to tell us the place is ours. When we sign with him on Monday, I'll be sure to bring the point-and-click. I'm hoping that my memory serves on the color question�I remember distinctly thinking that it reminded me of a grey-green car, but rusted.

Speaking of mulch, they have acutally made mulch from old rubber tires, dyed to look like the real stuff. It's primarily used around playground equipment, but I think it would serve your purpose quite nicely. A good 3-4 inches deep would certainly provide a "soft place to fall" during all those drunken stupors. (Stu.por n. A state of impaired consciousness characterized by a marked diminution in the capacity to react to environmental stimuli.) Hey, at least you won't be seeing sea-foam green!
