I am surprised how well the polished floor boards set off the pins. I think the reflections do it.
Yeah I first saw that effect when I was lucky enough to visit a fellow AP members place in Melbourne last year.
Had quite a few pins and over the floorboards they looked fantastic, and that inspired me to do the floors in my home ( big job ) , then add the pins. Glad I did.
Hmm, not happening in my garage, but once the roof is re-done I might look for some more carpet on eBay.
