Oriental rugs were introduced to America during the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia.  This was in 1876.  This rug exhibit was seen by William Sloan founder of W.J. Sloan. He was so impressed by the rugs that he bought them all and took them back to America where he opened the first major retail store for Oriental rugs. In Europe in the 19th century the Oriental rugs were being studied by scholars. Now the biggest collection of Oriental rugs is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art which is located in New York City.  Other displays are at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and The National Museum in Teheran.

Hand tufted Avacado Area Rug is something to lay eyes on. Wow is what we said.

Sometimes we get the extraordinary hand me down, discarded rugs that nobody really wants. Then we get some pretty nice looking rugs that almost any body wants. We discovered on yesterday and we give recognition to our friends at Decor4u.com for sending it our way. They have more but they are new and really very nice and our newbies in homes may not be able to stretch to get one… but if you could, you should!

We see so many fine and wonderful things happening in the generous gifts of late we just want to thank you all for making things better. Decor4u has wonderful and beautiful home decor. Check out great looking in area rugs. As we said, you’ll be glad you did.

It’s almost like magic. Pick up a great rug for your room and put all your furniture back and you’d be surprised how much you love your “new” room. It’s one of the simplest tasks in changing the whole look of a room. It’s cleans it up… if that’s what your after. It perks it up with fresh color… if that’s what your after. Area rugs give the room a sense of newness and freshness that is comforting and refreshing at the same time. Regardless of your reasons, it’s one of the best ways to make you smile when you look at your home decor in your room when arrive home from a busy day out of the house. It just makes it nice to be home!

Tis the season… and everybody and his brother is out looking for gifts for the holiday season. And many are bargain hunters with this crazy economy. Makes sense.

We have noticed quite a bargain over at Decor4u.com offering some super duper deals on sheepskin rugs as well as these beautiful Persian Rugs. Sprucing up the homestead, while making our family happy with the gifts under the tree, we can kill two birds with one stone… so to speak.

Have yourself a merry, merry and a joyful holiday season!

We received another batch of wonderful donations from our good people that care. One stood out to us, as it was and oriental rug. It was small and tattered, but was probably so beautiful in the colors and craftmenship in it’s day… what a surprise to get this sweet little area rug.

We ended up giving it to a small child who came in with his mother and a pack of dogs. The little girl wanted a nice bed for her doggie. We felt it was not much use more than to make this little girl happy and run out the door to her pup and give him a hug and put the little rug down for him to lay upon. And the doggie actually lay down right on the rug and the little girl right beside him.

Simple pleasures.

We love our kids and kids rooms rock with kids rugs and other cool playroom decor. Sometime we need to think about us adults and our home decor needs in terms of area rugs.

Beautiful area rugs can change your home to luxury, southwestern style, modern or contemporary rugs styles in the blink of an eye. Watch a room transform when you bring a cool floor covering into your home. It can bring the wall decor together with the furnishings and basically just tie it all together really well.

A cheap carpet can wreck the room… just as fast. So, find a fabulous rug to lay on top of the ugly carpet and it helps. Sometimes it’s enough.
