I love the Oscars.

There. I said it. It’s a bit of an obssession really but, I’ll work on that later. Right now we are celebrating all things red carpet.

This weekend, March 5th to the 8th, we are celebrating the movies with popcorn, Oscar winners playing on a big screen in the store and a once-a-year discount on all our rugs — red or otherwise!

What is more Hollywood than the red carpet?  We think the best way to celebrate is to give you 15% off makers like Dash & Albert, John Robshaw, Amy Butler, Serena & Lily and Thomas Paul.  Between all these lines there are nearly 200 styles of rugs from which you can choose.

Come by, pick a few out, take them home, try them out in your space, bring them back and order the size you need.  It’s a simple and very user friendly process.  Knowledgeable (and stylish) staff will be on hand all weekend to help you with all your rug needs.

We’ll see you at the movies!

Hello All,

We often get asked if we carry Dash & Albert.? The answer is YES, do we ever!? We are pleased to carry every style of rug that they make.? We want to make it easy for you to see, touch and feel the rugs before you commit to such a large purchase – and by large I don’t mean expensive, for these rugs are priced for any budget.

To make it easy to find the perfect rug, we have a 2×3 rug in every style that they make in our store.? If it’s not there, it’s because someone either bought it yesterday or has it out on loan.? That’s what we like to do.? We encourage people to take a few – or 8 -?rugs home to try in their house, with their painted walls, fabric swatches, and morning, afternoon and evening light.? It’s the best way to really decide on which of these fabulous rugs works best for them.? I know I had to take several home before I chose mine.? I thought for sure it was going to be Siena Stripe, but in the end I went with Blueberry Ticking for my red and cream dining room.

Once you decide on the right rug, throw, pillow or bag?for you, we order it.? If they are in stock (and 9 times out of 10 they are!) the products are shipped within 24 hours.? They never take more than 2 weeks to get to us!? You can pick it up or we can ship it straight to your door or second home in Florida or the Eastern Shore – FOR FREE!? It’s sooooo easy.

If you don’t know about Dash & Albert rugs, bags, throws and pillows then let me introduce you…? These products are great.? The rugs are fun and happy while still being sophisticated.? They come in cotton woven, cotton hooked, wool woven, hooked and tufted, and in woven polypropylene that works in- and outdoors.? The bags are made out of the rugs and are roomy and sturdy – perfect for the market whether it be of the farmer’s or flea variety.? The pillows and throws are the same fun patterns as the rugs.? They’re the most wonderful accent to any room.

We hope you will stop by and see for yourself how fantastic these products are.? Then, take one home, try it out, order your rug and enjoy!? The process couldn’t be more pleasant or more easy.? We look forward to helping you find the perfect piece for your space.

See you soon!? Amy
