Mario and Karastan: A Great Team

Don’t you just love it when LIFE connects in the most unusual CIRCUMSTANCES? This exact thing happened for me on my recent, fabulous experience with #BlogTourVegas at the Kitchen and Bath International Show.

LIFE: One very active family with three grade-school-aged girls, and a very large, adorable dog named Mario.
CIRCUMSTANCE: Connecting with one of our #BlogTourVegas sponsors, Karastan Carpeting.

My daughter recently researched replacement carpeting options for the lower level in their home. She knew that purchasing 127 yards of carpet would be a costly purchase, but being a smart woman, who has learned that we get what we pay for, she wasn’t only worried about price. She wanted long-term value in look, feel, and most definitely, durable maintenance for her super busy family. She selected Karastan for these reasons and the results are fantastic!

The pattern is gorgeous and forgiving, with multi-shading. It also feels really soft, and has the SmartStrand silk to ease her mind during slumber parties and game and movie nights; it also prevents against wear and tear with Mario’s antics.

Being a #BoomerSmarts designer, I am always on the search for products that actually do work for all ages. Most of us have those of all ages living everyday in our worlds, even if they are the furry kind!

At the New American Home, all of the #BlogTourVegas designers were so impressed with the carpet demonstration. It actually showed the difference between the Karastan carpet sample and another brand, after being dunked in two separate glasses of red wine.

I couldn't believe how amazingly the Mohawk Karistan protected against stains!

You know how seeing is believing? Well, now I am a believer in this remarkable new stain-protection called SmartStrand. The Karastan sample passed the red wine test with flying colors. See for yourself.
