How easy is it to design your own carpet? Step #1: Put your design (or your kid’s design) down on paper. Step #2: figure out what size and shape you’d like your carpet to be.
That’s pretty much it. Carpetbuzz, a vondrous design-your-own carpet company, does the rest. They can manufacture a custom carpet in about 2 1/2 months and will ship them anywhere. Very cool, though not cheap—a custom carpet runs €150 per square meter plus shipping. Check out the carpetbuzz website for more carpet design examples.

All that with a footprint of only 44 x 80 inches.
It’s like getting a stocking full of gifts. Except the gifts are vegetables. And the stocking is an Orka Vegetables Keep Sack.
