Interesting enough, tonight I saw something for the very first time–braided rugs on walls!  I was actually at an Amish-style restaurant and conference center in Middlebury, Indiana when I saw this new decorating style.  My husband and I, along with a small band, were playing a Christmas show for about 70 area church’s pastoral staff along with their wives.  And directly above the stage hung a beautifully designed braided rug.  It could have been to help with sound absorption, but the neutral hues of the intricately thought through braiding, captured my attention for several minutes.  At Abingdon Rug Outlet, they offer many of these capturing braided rugs.  Maybe you should give hanging a few braided rugs from your wall a decorative try!

Japanese news is not covering many holiday rugs this month. Most of the talk is about the high sales of the PS3. Sony’s price cut brought the PS3 sales above Nintendo Wii’s for the first time in months, within Japan. Selling a little over 20,000 more units, the PS3 is hoping for a little lime-light. It only took Sony slashing prices and offering a cheaper model, for gamers to consider picking one up. Not to mention that most of the gamers that purchased the new PS3 probably already own the Wii (this is purely speculation, but probably fairly accurate). Regardless, Sony is getting in on a little long-overdue celebrating and looking forward to better sales this Christmas, than last. So whether you are up with your friends, bouncing off the walls, jumping around on your holiday rugs with the Wii or butt down on some comfortable holiday rugs and a PS3, it looks like exciting gaming this holiday season.

Many folks rose from their couches to a stand upon their discount area rugs as the US tennis team won their first cup since 1995. The Davis Cup was taken away by Bob Bryan, James Blake, Andy Roddick and Mike Bryan. It was quite a victory for the US, since it had been 13 years since Pete Sampras defeated the Russian team in Moscow. The 107-year old Davis Cup is noted as one of the oldest trophy’s in sports today. I am sure there will be much rejoicing, sipping of champagne conversing upon discount area rugs in a large banquet room. So, for us at home, we can grab our champagne or coke-a-cola and give our cheers to the US Team for a great victory, then flip the channel and relax back down upon our discount area rugs and watch The Office.

We just finished a living room session practice on our discount area rugs for a show tomorrow night.  Christmas carols being sung by a fire, amps drums and all sorts of musical equipment nested nicely on the discount area rugs.  With two little ones sleeping upstairs, the discount area rugs really help dampen the sound.  But it was not enough.  Soon they were down enjoying the music as we all were.  The fire is still roaring in the fireplace, the Christmas lights are lit around the tree and over the mantel.  The rooms discount area rugs illuminate the nostalgia of the moment.  Bright colors against the wood floor, creative patterns and soothing styles bring our living room to life.  The music continues into the night and as things begin to wrap up, we all sit down for a cup of warm coffee and enjoy the comfort, style and elegance of our discount area rugs.

As I browse through Abingdon Rug Outlet’s braided rugs, I find among the Colonial Mills braided rugs famous American President’s names, such as Washington, Adams, Jackson, Monroe, Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln.  These braided rugs don’t share too much in common besides the fact that they’re all “braided” and all “old-style”.  Oh and let’s not forget the one common shape they’re all in–oval.  Braided rugs typically are found in the oval or rectangular shape, and all offered at Abingdon Rug Outlet fall into one of these two categories.

So just maybe in the future we’ll be seeing such names as, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton on future braided rugs.

I love that new TV commercial where the husband comes home to see his wife decorating for the season with white (possibly Capel Rugs) area rugs, glimmering trees, tree-shaped ice-cubes, and glitter, glitter, everywhere!

She says she’s doing it low-key, like they agreed. But it looks like a winter wonderland that costs a fortune. He just pours himself a drink and adds the clinking tree-shaped ice cubes with a sigh and an eye-roll.

Area Rugs inject a powerful dose of personality and style into today’s modern wedding decor. Here’s how to do it:

• Forget the all-too-common white, gauzy aisle runner at the church or wedding hall. Consider laying down a variety of artistic runners that compliment the wedding’s color theme instead, Now, here comes the bride in style!
• For stellar photographs at a winter wedding, have the loving couple stand on area rugs in front of a large stone fireplace for an impressive, classy pose.  
• Set up a seperate kids play area in the reception hall - and provide child care. Lay down some area rugs and have your care volunteers offer the kids finger foods on paper plates and a soft, comfy place to play on. Kids can’t be expected to stay seated all night with the grown-ups. Provide toys andr books, too!
