Happy St. Patrick's Day!
The Irish (and the Irish-at-Heart) come together on March 17th to celebrate this one-of-a-kind holiday with corned beef, cabbage... and, well, anything green. While today may surround you with green shamrock shakes, green beer and green apparel - let's chat about being green... inside your home.
There's a natural and environmentally-friendly choice when it comes to carpet - it's wool. This month, we are featuring the Harry II Runner Border from Stanton. Wool has been the standard in floor coverings for centuries. Did you know that wool has a longer life cycle than other fibers? Thus, resulting in a smaller environmental footprint. Here are some things to consider: it's biodegradable, renewable, non-allergenic, stain-resistant and air-purifying. It's fascinating to know that a fiber has the ability to absorb and neutralize polluting gases in your home, including: formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide. Why not give this natural beauty a chance?
Deciding on your fiber is one thing. Deciding on your pattern is another. With the labyrinth of possibilities, have fun! There are fabulous prints in the market these days that add drama, attitude, tranquility, tradition and edge. But - most importantly, it's a design feature that adds safety. Trust us - your little ones and furry friends will be grateful.
We now leave you with an Irish toast:
May your troubles be less,
And your blessing be more.
And nothing but happiness,
Come through your door.

... and perhaps a new runner, once inside that door! ;)
