Editorial Invitation: Area Rug Sales Survey

The editors of Home Accents Today would like to know what’s selling in your store in the category of area rugs. Our survey is brief, so we ask only a few minutes of your time to share your expertise. For your valuable time, if you would like, you will be entered into a drawing for a newly-redesigned iPod Shuffle. If you wish to participate in the drawing, please provide your name, your company, and a contact email address. One iPod will be awarded to an eligible retailer at the end of the survey period.

Federal Mandate
As design trends have shifted back toward classic opulent styles, it should be no surprise that traditional American looks undergo a remarkable renaissance. Here, the elegant, sophisticated grace of the Federal period reappears with a surprisingly light touch.
