If you ask Oprah Winfrey, some of her favorite things to make the seaon special seem to include area rugs just like the Capel Rugs you can find every day at www.abingdonrugoutlet.com.

Yesterday Oprah’s annual “Favorite Things” special included the most beautiful Christmas set I’ve ever seen on daytime TV. It’s foundation – area rugs, just like the sort of sumptuous and splendid Capel Rugs you can find at affordable, non-Oprah-ish prices, at www.abingdonrugoutlet.com. Prices for everyday people who simply love a little luxury in their hum-drum lives.

If Oprah had her way, and doesn’t she almost always – I’m sure the set, fully resplendent with rugs in the style of Capel Rugs, met with her discriminating approval. If you ask little old me, Capel Rugs are some of my favorite things, too. Oprah Winfrey and Capel Rugs – who knew the lead-up to the holiday season could be so full of exciting and beautiful “favorite things”!

When I think of braided rugs, it takes me back to the early days of the first settlers’ homes.  Braided rugs seem to carry with them a colonial feel and although still ever popular, they are traditional and old-fashioned in many ways.  If you live in a log cabin, braided rugs would be perfect to carry on that rustic, old-fashioned flare.  Even for the more modern home, braided rugs can add a sense of tradition and comfort.  Abingdon Rug Outlet carries braided rugs from some of the nation’s top rug manufacturers, Capel rugs and Colonial Mills.  If you’re looking to add some timeless tradition to your home, check out braided rugs from Abingdon.

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.

Christmas in America is no time for understatement. People love to decorate for the season. Have a look today – and order your own Winter Wonderland Capel Rugs in time for Christmas – from www.abingdonrugoutlet.com.

Capel Rugs are something beautiful to add to your list of things to be thankful for this holiday season. Here’s a few ways Capel Rugs can make this and every holiday celebration even more special:

• Capel Rugs are perfect as a decorating compliment to your Thanksgiving feast in rich fall colors
• Welcome to your home the people you love the most with door mats and welcome area rugs by Capel Rugs
• Set apart special seating areas for friends and family to gather around the fireplace or in a cozy nook with Capel Rugs in every shape, size and color you can imagine

Happy Thanksgiving from the down-home folks who are very thankful to bring you the very best in style, value and selection in Capel Rugs at www.abingdonrugoutlet.com.

My favorite Thanksgiving movie has always been “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” with Steve Martin and the late, great John Candy, and there’s no better way to enjoy this enduring family hit than with comfy Capel Rugs beneath your feet.

I’m about to embark on a Thanksgiving journey myself, but we’re off to Canada on Thanksgiving Day, where turkey day, as my family affectionately calls it, was celebrated a month ago. We’re going for my sister’s wedding, and we hope we have better luck getting home than the guys in the movie. In Planes, Trains, they suffer the perils of the rental car that wasn’t there and the one that ended up catching on fire, a too-cozy cheap motel, cancelled flights, hitchiking, scrounging for cash, armed robbery, and too many hilarious arguments. 

We’re hoping for the sort of ease and comfort in our travels that matches the ease and comfort of Capel Rugs.  

I can spot tacky discount department store rugs anywhere, but when I see the luxurious sheen and stylish patterns available in Capel Rugs, I’d never guess they can actually cost less that what you see in chain grocery and home decor stores nationwide!

It’s amazing – I don’t know how they do it. They carry more than 20,000 varieties of area rugs, including Capel Rugs, at www.abingdonrugoutlet.com. They received the 2007 Rug Retailer Of The Year Award, beating out countless competitors. The best thing about Capel Rugs is that you can rely on almost 100 years of expert rug-making skill and crafsmanship in any rug of your choice. There is truly something for everyone, in any one of the many decadent lines of Capel Rugs available at www.abingdonrugoutlet.com.     

There’s no place like home for the holidays – and even more so when the home is decked out wth the perfect comfort and affordable style of Capel Rugs. This American Thanksgiving, I’ll be in Canada celebrating the wedding of my youngest sister. During Canadian Thanksgiving, I was here in the U.S.

Let’s talk turkey. Well, I didn’t get any this year, and none of my Nanny’s homemade pumpkin pie, either. But I’m okay with that, especially because there’s more joy in celebrating the love story of someone you love than there will ever be in eating turkey with all the trimmings. One year I sure hope I can host Thanksgiving dinner here in Indiana. And when I do, I hope that under our 11-foot antique dining room table, we’ll have equally elegant Capel Rugs for our guests to enjoy along with their turkey and pumpkin pie. 

For a Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings, don’t forget to decorate with beautiful, seasonal Capel Rugs.  

Whatever you plan to put on your table, make sure the right style and color is under it. Capel Rugs are the perfect way to finish the look of any of your rooms. In the dining room, Capel Transitions are an easy match for every interior. In solid colors, they strike a classic pose. Capel Hearthside and Capel Autumn Valley are lovely traditional styles that reflect the subtle, changing colors of the season. And the Capel Americana series of five braided oval area rugs offers a rich palette that reflects the values and qualities of days gone by.

There is truly something special in Capel Rugs for every taste and budget this holiday season at www.abingdonrugoutlet.com.      

One of the most challenging decisions when choosing Capel Rugs is what sizes you should have. Here are a few easy sizing tips, compliments of a panel of interior design experts at HGTV:  

• Your Capel Rug should be two feet shorter than the smallest wall in the room.
• For bare front hallways, swing open the front door and measure the floor from that point, so roughly the first three feet remain clear.
• Hall rugs should have at least six inches of floor showing on all sides.
• Dining room rugs should stretch at least 18 inches beyond the edge of the table so your dining chairs are not sitting outside the rug.
• In bedrooms, use runners at the sides and foot, or place a rug one-third of the way under the bed so the rest of it creates a nice mat at the bottom of the bed.

The world’s worst-kept celebrity secret is finally confirmed – Jennifer Lopez is pregnant, so it’s time to feather her love nest with a little help from Capel Rugs.

J-Lo and husband Marc Anthony spend a lot of time touring and performing, so they probably don’t have time to shop and measure for area rugs in home decor stores. They would probably prefer to browse online in the privacy of their hotel room or trailer on the road. At www.abingdonrugoutlet.com , shopping any day of the week is easy, 24 hours a day!

Whether you’re Jenny From The Block or the girl next door, Capel Rugs offers something fabulous to make every room in your home a dream come true.
