In the sweet shades of Adair and Fluffy. Stainmaster TruSoft, the loveliest soft carpet my no shoes allowed house could find, coming our way in 7 to 14 days. Yesssssssssss. <br /><br />Should you ever have a destination in upstate, you can stop by for a visit. No shoes allowed so you'll be forced to enjoy the fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-61901485669509864012013-07-15T17:57:48.545-04:002013-07-15T17:57:48.545-04:00Wall to wall carpeting is an ostentatious waste of...Wall to wall carpeting is an ostentatious waste of our natural resources, contributes to global warming and is killing polar bears. Why is it wasteful? When is the last time you walked along the edge of the rooms you have carpeted thusly? If you have you are aware that to do so will expose you to the piercing pain of those inverted carpet tacks that act like one of those tire flattening barriers at parking turnstiles. The point is, more polar bears (and probably more powder-plumed piping plovers) would be alive today if we only carpeted the areas where our feet would normally touch the floor. Here's an idea that is both green and thrifty: take a piece of carpet from your neighbor's trash pile after he carpets his mansion, cut out two pieces in the shape and size of your shoes, then put them (plush side up) into your shoes. This will work especially well with your Don Johnson travel attire where you wear no socks. Look, don't thank me, it's just what comes of thinking about the planet more than about one's own selfish overconsumption.Mudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106218895150473141noreply@blogger.com
