Those are great ideas and a fun innovation of use! A point to add; BJG Interior Designers make a priority to work with select carpet manufactures that offer stringent recycling programs which contribute to the LEED and conservation issues that are important to our society today. Our preferred manufacturers are ALWAYS willing to take back old and unused samples (free of charge) to reuse or recycle in the effort to minimize the impact of overproducing their product. But, if those samples happened to disappear for a better use…then so be it! I do love the Hammock – it just needs to be made from a quality, soft shag!
