Flying Carpets

Not actually, some rugs in in The Frog & PenguINN were more like sliding carpets and they were really getting ready to take someone for a ride – and we would rather not become airborne in our home.

The solution? – STOPP

From where?  Our favorite blue and yellow store – IKEA.

As Grenville mentioned in an earlier post, we always brake for IKEA and this stop was in Charlotte, NC as we headed to Georgia for Thanksgiving.

Usually, the product names on IKEA merchandise are a challenge, but there was no confusion here. The package picture and the name were right on target and this stuff really stops a rug from moving. There’s a lot of STOPP in one package too. The only tool needed is a scissor – one with a long blade makes the cutting go faster. A ruler isn’t really needed, just line it up with the rug and then cut. Afterwards, Grenville told about leaving a 2-inch margin around the edge; there’s a few more rugs to do – maybe he will volunteer.

Now that the hallway runners are stationary again, we’ll have to wait for some winter weather to go slipping and sliding.
