Craig Ellwood, called "the Cary Grant of Architecture," designed many of the homes he is known for in Southern California in the 50s and 60s.

GIVEAWAY: RUG PAD USA

 RUG PAD USA is a rug pad retailer that manufactures, packs, and ships from their factory in Connecticut.  Selling close to 500 thousand pads per year, the company specializes in the manufacturing of higher end, eco-friendly and sustainable rug pads, unlike many rug pad companies that manufacture toxic PVC and plastic pads to import into our country. The fact that these pads will not damage flooring is a plus to me!

  

The company carries rug pads for hardwood, laminate, carpet, stone, tile, and other types of flooring. 

Below are a few choices of pads offered.  You will be able to view all pads from all of the different kinds of floor surfaces on their site.

Superior Lock 1/4”

Spilltech

Super Lock Natural 

Carpet Lock

The first three of these pads can be used on hardwood, laminate, stone and tile. The fourth on carpet.  

There are so many pads to choose from.  Be certain to visit the site!

I have two of their rug pads, and I can tell you with utmost confidence how wonderful and important they are!  There is no comparison between these wonderful pads and many of the others. 

The pads can be purchased at the company address above, or you can find them through Amazon, Overstock, or Wayfair.

I could write for days about the beautiful work of Richard Keith Langham, but the images below will tell a tiny portion of the story of the work of this design genius.  He first caught my eye when I came across the image of his massive and royally decorated Christmas home and tree.  I have treasured and studied his work since. And did I mention he is an Alabama native?

Fabulous textiles, antiques, accessories, art, collectibles and murals, all beyond beautiful, are his trademark.  Nothing is overdone, but rich and comfortable.

Langham is featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Vogue, Veranda, and House Beautiful and acknowledged with other greats on the AD100 and Elle Decor A-List lists.

Below are a few of the rooms showcased in this book, which is a must-have for people with great taste and a love of design. ENJOY!

Thank you, Jessica, for sending this great book!
