Yep, Flor-ed!!!

 Last week I shared with you that I was considering purchasing some Flor tiles to use around our bed as an area rug.  Being the cheapo that I am (or at least am trying to be), I didn't want to spend beaucoup bucks for a rug that would primarily be hidden under our bed, and I reasoned the Flor tiles might be the perfect, budget-friendly solution.  Some of you recommended runners, and I had looked into that option as well.  The problem?  By the time I bought the 3 necessary to cover all three sides, my price tag was climbing quickly again. 
So, when Flor was offering free shipping last week, I took it as a sign and finally hit the "buy now" button.  A few days later, my tiles were here.  Being the impatient go-getter that I am, I couldn't even wait for Josh to get home...I had to lay these tiles ASAP.  Here's what the room looked like sans tiles:
And now for the new and improved version:
And for a close up:

  I bought 11 tiles for a grand total of $176 for the whole "rug," much better than the $300-$400 a real rug would have cost me.  Truthfully, once Josh returns and can help me lift that darn bed (although I must say I'm pretty impressed at accomplishing what I did alone...my back, on the other hand, is not very pleased with me) I am going to adjust the tiles a little.  I think we may even need two more...one for each side...what do you all think?
