If you're looking for the perfect wool rug or rug runner, stop by gcrugs.com.
There you are, carrying a cup of coffee back to your workspace at home. It’s hot, you’re still sleepy, your hand slips—SPLASH! Your precious Arabica blend that you got as an anniversary gift from the office is now a pool on your carpet. You sigh, you curse, you get mad at yourself. How can I cover this stain, you wonder. Here’s an idea: rug runners.
So what’s the point of a rug runner? Rugs, while they have many functions, are mainly decorative; a rug serves your tastes and needs in whatever space you put it. Hallways and staircases don’t really tend to have all that much personality to begin with. Why not jazz up the floor and give the coat rack something to stand proud next to? That umbrella holder is lonely, so very lonely. Cheer it up a little with a touch of bright color from a shag wool rug runner. Furthermore, rug runners are longer, slimmer, and ideal for hallways and staircases in your home. On stairs, they provide traction and thus reduce the chance of tumbling down. Similarly, in a hallway, rug runners keep you from slipping on a wet floor. Plus, rug runners give you a cozier, more intimate feeling to those narrow spaces.
Think of the other things a rug runner could do for you. Noisy, squeaky steps are silenced by this rug cushioning. Hallway spills land on the rug, which can be easily cleaned, as opposed to the carpet, which needs one of those carpet cleaning coupons and some guy in a van with foamy bubbles painted on the side to get out. They protect against dirt and soil tracked into the house. And they feel so good underneath your feet. Imagine coming home to an exquisite pattern and that soft wool feeling in between your toes. Or sisal, if prefer. Or even a bamboo rug runner! The possibilities just keep going.
Certain rug runners may need some assistance from a professional, but a braided rug runner is typically easier to install. Once it’s on your floor, just come home like you do everyday and take satisfaction in knowing that you are preventing slips on the floor, spills on the carpet, and decorating your home in a tasteful, colorful fashion. If all else fails, you’re making that umbrella holder happy.

I Bet Dwight Schrute Owns a Wood Chipper
By: Nadia Osman | 05/10/2007 | GardeningThe fictional obnoxious co-worker Dwight Schrute on NBC’s The Office is many things, including the owner of a family beet farm. He talks about beets; he eats beets; he told a joke involving a nun with a beet for a head. In short, he’s a man who knows his property and takes good care of it. Hence, it only seems logical that Dwight Schrute would own a wood chipper.
