So I think by now you have all heard that we just moved into a new house!

A new house with so much more space.  My head is exploding with all the decorating ideas and projects I have in mind for all the new spaces!

One of our favorite things about this house is the finished basement.  Allison’s bedroom is down there, along with lots of storage and a large family/TV room with walk out access to the back yard.  It’s the perfect place for a sixteen year old to entertain all of her friends. ;)

Finished Basement with Mohawk Smartstrand carpet rug at TidyMom.net

Right now it is full of orphaned furniture pieces, blue and brown walls and laminate wood flooring, which I love.  There’s lots of space, but the hard flooring gives it such a cold feeling.

When Mohawk Carpet, the world’s largest flooring manufacturer, asked if I would like to try out their new “SmartSrand” rug I couldn’t say YES, fast enough! 

Here’s why:

SmartStrand has permanent stain and soil resistance that will never wear off.
Most carpets have stain and soil treatments that are applied topically to the fiber. Over time, in the face of foot traffic, and due to wear and tear, the topically applied stain and soil treatment wears off. This can leave ordinary carpets looking worn out and dirty sooner than you might expect for such a large purchase. With SmartStrand, you don’t have to worry about that. For as long as you have the carpet, it will have stain protection because it is built into the carpet fiber itself. {click to continue}
