What's New For 11/14/08....
If you haven't yet read the Fall 2008 issue of Fabulous Floors Magazine, you should. We are very excited about it, and particularly the editorial titled "Designer's Walk" written by Sonna Calandrino, editor-in-chief, who discusses how to create a color palette. She refers to the Wear-Dated Field Guide to Color Color Folio 2008 based on John J. Audubon's beautiful prints of birds to make her points. We believe this is an issue - and an article - that you will want to retain for reference and inspiration.
In case you can't obtain a copy of the issue, Fabulous Floors Magazine was wonderful enough to share with us a pdf of the article. Click on the image below or "Designer's Walk" to download it. We have also included it in the Newsroom Document Library in Fabulous Floors, October 2008, Designer's Walk by Sonna Calandrino.
This week's press release titled "Color Your Home with Wear-Dated®" highlights the many color tools we have available on the Wear-Dated website - including "Designer's Walk."
In The Carpetology Blog, we review a design site in Design Reviews from the Floor Up ~ Another Shade of Grey. This site is written by a blogger named Julie who offers simple, understated posts with wonderful design inspiration.
Annette Smith offers advice on how to remove grease from carpet in Annette's Carpet Corner: How To Remove Grease On Carpet.
A big thank you to all of you who offered testimonials and reviews to our submission to the Forrester 2008 Groundswell Awards. We have listed them all in Groundswell Reviews & Carpetology Testimonials - Thank You!
This week, we visited Seattle and Spokane, Washington to share with the Washington State Floor Covering Association a presentation on the retail experience as announced in Wear-Dated® Presents Seminar for Washington State FCA. A terrific group of flooring professionals attended both sessions, asking thoughtful questions. Look for future posts on The Carpetology Blog describing visits we made to retailers in the area.
Thank you for reading!
