Pretty in Pink

St. Jude Kick Off Event Recap

St. Jude Kick Off Event Recap

We started the month with a special kick off event that took place at our showroom on August 1st.

It was an incredible day!

Morgan’s Journey at St. Jude

Morgan’s Journey at St. Jude

HI and welcome to our blog! Today’s entry is a little different than normal. You may not know, but in 2020 our showroom manager [Andrea]’s daughter, Morgan, was diagnosed with Leukemia. We got to witness their experience at St. Jude first hand, and we’re forever grateful for the life-saving care Morgan received!

We want to give back to the organization that gave Morgan her life back. During the entire month of August a portion of all Shaw flooring sales (including Coretec Floors, Anderson Tuftex, and Philadelphia Commercial) will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

We’re having a special kick off event here at our showroom on August 1st with a blood drive hosted by the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks, live presentations, food, giveaways & more.

Andrea has recounted their entire journey with St. Jude from diagnosis to being released. We hope by learning a little more about their story you will have a greater understanding for the incredible life saving care St. Jude provides.

Everyday Value: Carpet Tile

Everyday Value: Carpet Tile

Carpet tiles are individual square or rectangle shaped pieces of commercial carpet with an attached backing. While traditionally they’re known for being used in commercial settings, we see them used often in residential applications as well.

Our in-stock inventory of carpet tile are unique because they’re always changing. We often purchase large project, 1st quality over runs, allowing us to pass the savings onto our customers.

Carpet Education: A New Team Member’s Perspective

Carpet Education: A New Team Member’s Perspective

If you’re like me, you probably have never really thought about carpet. I mean really thought about it. You take it for granted, it’s there, you walk on it. On occasion you’ll notice an over-the-top shag while out and about, or a really nice-looking pattern, but you’ve likely never really thought about it more than that.

My third day of work at Mouery’s, Rick, the store owner, brought me to the showroom to learn about carpet. We spent about an hour looking at the many in-stock carpet samples on the showroom floor. I got to feel the carpet, hold it up and examine the fibers, see how it was woven together, examine the back of it, feel the various textures, how one felt juxtaposed another, hold a higher priced carpet against a lower priced carpet and noting the difference.
