We can custom paint floor cloths to any size. All our floor cloths are made, by JOL, from high-quality canvas. Four coats of gesso are applied to the painted surface with two coats applied to the underneath. Each application is allowed to dry for 24 hours. Then the artwork takes place! When dry, six layers of semi-gloss polyurethane are applied to the painted surface. The underside receives three layers of rug backing (a rubberized non-skid coating). This final stage allows the floor cloth to hug ceramic, tile, and wooden floors. Each “cloth” can be cleaned with soap and water. They wear better than throw-rugs. Designs limited only by one's imagination!

We also do commission work on any piece of furniture.

Shipping and insurance is extra. Some items will require special handling or private pick up.
