One of the biggest complaints, and hardest things to change, about a rental kitchen is the floor. When you own a kitchen you can put down new tile or wood floors — but even then you may not want to for reasons of cost. So, many of us are stuck with ugly, peeling linoleum tile, but here’s one great option for renters and budget owners alike: Canvas floor cloths. Floor cloths (or floorcloths) are a rather antique form of floor covering.

The wild violet, humble she may be, is one of the most beloved of woodland blossoms. Delicate and demure, her petals tipped down toward the forest floor, she blooms amid the moss and fallen leaves left from autumns past. The drydown on this one is where it reallllly shines. Totally swoonworthy. Early stages are a bit woody, green, slightly sharp, resinous... but the drydown? Sweet and feminine and perfectly ethereal on me. Violet petals clothed in Raindrops on a base of Ambrette, White Woods, and damp forest floor with a hint of Wild Iris and wisps of sweet tree Resins winding throughout. A violet by a mossy stone half hidden from the eye fair as a star when only one is shining in the sky ~ William Wordsworth Blended in a base of fractionated coconut oil and presented in your choice of an 8ml or 15ml rectangular roll on bottle, your perfume will arrive suitably packaged for gifting in a lovely embossed gift box. Perfect for gifting someone else or simply for treating yourself to something fun and unique.
