How do I keep my stuff in place.

[lia1303]

We have laminate floors throughout the apartment. Every time some sits on the couch or steps on the area rugs, they go sliding all over the place. Any ideas on something that will keep them in place without damaging the floor?

Does your rug have a pad? A good quality pad will have an anti-slip on it and keep the rug from moving

[lia1303]

dovetail223 no. Can you buy those for area rugs?

@deedee1017 lol. DH wants to use double sided tape, but I really don't want to have to pay for the floors when we leave here

And I just realized I'm tagging your old name deeds1017. Duh.

Any carpet store will cut one to size for you. They are not that expensive (less than $100) but price depends on thickness and size. I wouldn't even go into a store...just call around with the size until you get the best price.

Good idea. Thanks!

I got a nice carpet pad on overstock.com for about $50... I think it was about 10x12. I cut it myself to the size I needed

I wonder if that rug tape would work on the feet of the couch? Maybe it won't slide quite as much.

Have I mentioned how awesome you are, deeds1017

Ohhhh cool beans. I wonder if that is the badgy thingy they were giving out over on parenting. I can't see any of the fun stuff from the app.

Lol, she's so cute though. Come over and join in on parenting. I've been trying to participate more over there since it's more active.

Yup! Its a thumbs up badge. I lurke parenting I should probably intro or something. Especially since we don't have much going on over here anymore. I was going to text you before around 930 before I realized the time. 

My family was talking about how O really likes blueberries and I told them how she practically dove face first into Declan's snack case. Lol

You don't really have to intro on parenting. You just kinda jump in!
