Is your floor crying for a splash of color? Does your historic (or historic-looking) home need some floor-protection? Are you searching for floorcloth-making supplies? If so, you've come to the right place.

For 14 years Lisa Curry Mair has been making floorcloths from the heaviest weight canvas available, using time-honored techniques of painting and finishing. Lisa is spreading the word about floorcloths. As author of the book Floorcloth Magic, and as instructor at the workshops held at her Vermont studio, she educates others about her craft. She also demonstrates the practical use of floorcloths throughout her 19th century farmhouse.

Floorcloths are easy to care for, are extremely durable and can be made in an infinite number of color combinations and designs to suit every situation. 

Take a look at over 300 images in the Design Gallery. Now you can even order your floorcloth online! Several sizes and designs are available for delivery to your home within two weeks of ordering. For more customized projects, you can send Lisa the details and she'll create a beautiful design specifically for your home. See how floorcloths are made by watching a short movie, order floorcloth-making supplies, or ask Lisa a question by posting on the blog.
