Amazing Space Scene Spray Painted on Floor: I Feel the Galaxy Move Under My Feet

Posted in: Today's Chili

Do you love space? I mean, really love space? Then live in it and paint a space scene on your floor like this guy did. This just might be the coolest graffiti art installation I have seen in a long time. The floor of this house has been spray-painted to look like a galaxy.

Flooring is now the final frontier. It was created by a French team called Graffiti Decoration who specializes in making spaces look more spectacular than when they arrived. I would have to get some matching starship furniture to go with this floor.

Escher Reptile Flooring: Lizards Under Foot!

Madrid, Spain flooring contractor Arbore created these awesome hardwood pieces in the form of Escher’s famous interlocking geometric reptiles.

Though if Escher had these in his house, actual lizards would emerge from the edges of the floor when you step on it. He’d also have to cover the walls and the ceilings with these, since I bet there was no difference between those and the floor in his house.
