Wagnerian Carpet Installment, No. 2

Force yourself to face some of those neglected spots around the house, like the den, which has been a catchall for years and is now the unhappy recipient of an old rug from one of the bedrooms. Why not go gay in there with a brand-new carpet and give the little room a reason for existing? And while you're browsing, and browsing in the carpet department doesn't cost anything, take a close look at the raspberry nylon carpet that really doesn't cost very much, and think how marvelously decorated it would make the master bedroom. The plush pile is thick and luxuriously deep - what a sensation on your bare feet!
