Sahara
This floorcloth was created for a San Francisco couple who have a long, galley style kitchen that leads out to their garden. The colors in the floorcloth compliment the wood of their floors and cabinets while picking up hues from a carpet in an adjoining room. The background color is Saddle Tan and the motif and border colors are a custom blue/green and custom gold. The colors appear to shift based up the time of day and amount of light on the floorcloth. The center motifs are based on a pattern showcased in both our Early American collection-Isaac Buck and in our Geometric collection-Sahara where we have created a dimension effect on a version of classic interlocking circles. The zig zag border motif was created by Gracewood Design.
