Some rugs are just ideal for family gatherings

Relatives were in town this weekend to pay the family a visit. We all gathered together at the folks house and had a wonderful time. Food and drink were served, and some of it was dripped onto the rugs that held the dining room table and chairs. As days yield to months, and months yield to years, the kids grow older and more rambunctious. Greg, who just started to drive reached for some salsa in one of those new tortilla chips that is the shape of a miniature bowl. Unfortunately, some of the salsa dripped onto my pants as he was reaching over me to get his grub.

Sure my pants look stained, but the bit that dribbled onto the polypropylene rug? That was wiped up in a snap. The point of this little story is to reitterate that the right rugs in the right rooms really can make a huge difference. Since the home that we had the event at is usually bustling with visitors, family, friends, and the occasional enemy; the parents asked me to find rugs for them that would be able to hold up against all that abuse. The use of rugs to help freshen up a space is not the only purpose. Rugs can also keep down energy loss between floors. They can reduce noise transfer, and rugs can even keep a hard floor from being damaged from chairs dragging across it, or a nutty kid zooming his matchbox cars over it.

Be mindful of the sort of rugs you choose for your home. As I watched Greg drip his salsa onto my pants (that are now stained) and the rug beneath my foot, I knew that the rug would be fine. If you need a bit of help finding the ideal rugs for your place, this is a great starting point. Wander around, acclimate yourself to what we have to offer. If you need to know more about rugs or certain patterns in particular, just hit us up...that is what we are here for!
