This square of linoleum was on top of *another* square of linoleum by the front door. The black curve is where the rug used to end; they had a metal edging there.

The black curve is where the rug used to end; they had a metal edging there. When we pulled up the carpet, one corner of the yellow stuff was visible under the brown.
