Better Renovations: Upstairs Hallway, After

Thanks to a generous donation from Corinne's office, Better Farm is the lucky recipient of a ton of Flor's heavy duty red carpet squares. The pieces are extremely durable and easy to clean—a major plus in a high-traffic farm house. We'll be using them on the staircase and in the loft, as well.
