Paige Thalia Uses Discarded Oscars Red Carpet as Rug in Hollywood Apartment
Paige Thalia saved about $400 by repurposing discarded Oscars red carpet found in a dumpster in Hollywood after the ceremony, sharing her story on TikTok with millions of views.
- Paige Thalia recovered discarded red carpet rolls from The Academy Awards, finding them in a dumpster behind the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood and repurposing the material as a rug for her new apartment.
- Contemplating high furnishing costs while walking by the Dolby Theatre, Thalia sought a creative solution; Property company Outpost Club estimates equipping a studio apartment costs between $2,000 and $5,000.
- Spotting the rolls in a dumpster, Thalia asked a security guard for permission, and the guard simply told her, "Yeah, go for it," enabling her to secure a piece of Oscars history.
- Videos of the discarded carpet on TikTok have been viewed over 4.2 million times, while Thalia reckons she saved "at least $400" by creating a rug that perfectly fits her apartment.
- Organizers have since moved remaining carpet rolls behind secured fencing to prevent public access. Thalia believes her viral video prompted these extra precautions, making similar opportunities unlikely for next year.
