Vintage Belt Rug
Jun 6, 2010 Price: Over $100, Recipient: Her, Recipient: Him, home
“This handsome, handmade floor mat is made of artfully assembled vintage leather belts that have been rescued on their way from waist to waste. Its rich tones, textures, and tread-friendly patina evoke the look of a wonderfully worn wood floor, albeit with a decidedly warmer under-foot feel.
Each Vintage Belt Floor Mat is a one-of-a-kind creation, and as such, colors and characteristics will vary slightly from those pictured.”

From Alsa Corp:
“Eclipse is a single event heat reactive basecoat that changes from Black to White or from Blue to White. Eclipse can be sprayed through any standard paint equipment. For the most brilliant white change, Eclipse should be applied over a white base. For unlimited possibilities try putting a Candy Concentrate over the Eclipse.
For example Apple Red Candy over Black to White Eclipse will result in a black to Red change (as pictured here)
Eclipse can also be combined with any of our other specialty products for truly unique effects.”
