Along with cleaning up the Christmas tree comes the needles on our braided rugs .  If you’re like us, the tree has gotten a little dry the past week and a half – and the needles are shedding like pet dander.  All over the hardwood floor (no problem – easy sweep) and all over the carpets – but luckily for us, we have braided rugs.  Its as easy as picking up the braided rugs, walking carefully outside and giving them a little shake.  Pine needles no more.  A quick run through with the vacuum and it looks good as new.  We are looking forward to beginning the new year with our braided rugs adorning our hardwood floors.

Karastan rugs statement maker of the year 2007 will soon be replaced with the new 2008 Karastan rugs statement maker.  So we wanted to take this final opportunity to once again recognize the amazing statement maker and representative Mariska Hargitay truly is.  As stated on Karastan’s website:

“To millions of “Law and Order: SVU” fans who watch her every week, she’s NYPD Detective Olivia Benson. But when Mariska Hargitay steps off the set, she is the real-life wife of writer-actor Peter Hermann, mother of newborn son, August, social activist and fashion icon. All of these qualities add up to Mariska Hargitay being the newest Karastan “Statement Maker,” featured in our 2007 national advertising campaign.”

A waitress at a little restaurant in Texas, who may not need to buy “discount area rugs” now,  served a somewhat “cantankerous” customer for nearly seven years and tried her best to meet his demands and curses with a smile.  The 89-year-old Walter “Buck” Swords obviously appreciated it, as evidenced in him leaving her $50,000 and his 2000 Buick when he died.  She may have been trying to save up her tips for some nice discount area rugs, but now can choose to still buy those discount area rugs or she may not want discount at all anymore.  Although if you ask me its the smartest choice to stick with the discount area rugs and save the money.

What do New Year’s resolutions, exercise and discount area rugs all have to do with each other?  Well, most people do make resolutions at the first of the year, and most of them will include exercise and dieting for many people–making discount area rugs a needed possession for your home.  Discount area rugs are the perfect landing place for your exercising.  You need some padding under your feet while exercising, and especially if lying down or sitting to exercise, you’ll want the comfort discount area rugs provide.  Discount area rugs come in many great selections and varieties at the online gallery at Abingdon Rug Outlet.

After hearing about the San Francisco Zoo’s tiger escape and attack, that killed one teenage boy and injured two more, the wild animals found on Capel’s Playtime Hide and Seek discount area rug, just got wilder!  I’m sure every little child with this discount area rug in their bedroom or playroom has imagined that these animals are real at some point.  That the zebra, tiger, lion and elephant just may leap out at them…leaving them screaming and running away fast.

All of Abingdon Rug Outlet’s Capel discount area rugs for children are 100% wool. Heavy hand cut pile and loop construction creates fun and fuzzy textures all kids will enjoy. Tough cotton backing prevents wear and slippage. Check out Abingdon’s discount area rugs for kids.

There’s a great game called Scotland Yard, in which the game board is a map of London (Scotland Yard) and I was thinking it could make for a very unique discount area rugs’ design.  Discount area rugs in unique patterns create a unique room and atmosphere in your home.  Some people like more basic and traditional designs on their discount area rugs, but others like a design that is unique. I’m sure the designers at the top-quality rug manufacturers carried at Abingdon Rug Outlet, such as Capel, Karastan, Nourison, etc. would love some good ideas for their discount area rugs’ designs.  So I’d like to see discount area rugs in a Scotland Yard pattern.

Discount area rugs, which are heavily manufactured in the middle east, wish their condolences on the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.  Afghanistan’s president, Hamid Karzai had this to say about her:

“She sacrificed her life, for the sake of Pakistan and for the sake of this region,” he said. “I found in her this morning a lot of love and desire for peace in Afghanistan, for prosperity in Afghanistan and … Pakistan.”

And he was, “deeply pained” by the assassination of “this brave sister of ours, a brave daughter of the Muslim world.”

With the rich history of Oriental rugs and discount area rugs from this middle eastern region of the world, we all hope peace can be obtained and hope for a better world for all of us.  Abingdon Rug Outlet wants peace to come to this discount area rugs’ region.
