Elizabeth Andrews So, what’s NEW for 2015? floors FABULOUS point of view | Welcome from Andrews, North Carolina! We recently relocated our family and business to Andrews North Carolina, a sleepy little bedroom town in the valley, at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Life is beautiful here. It is true that with big moves, comes stress and frustration, but I always try to see the opportunities available… like redecorating my new home! And with the summer hard upon us, this is the time when we all look about our indoor space and dream about the design possibilities. [It won’t be long and the holidays will be upon us]. This issue is devoted to the latest trends for 2015, to give you ideas and show you how you can decorate your own home using Carpet, Wood, Tile, Laminate, Rugs, Resilient and precious designer materials like Leather and Wool. We deliver on the promise of the possibilities, illustrating what YOU can actually do in your own home. See, for example, what you can accomplish with the new luxury woodfashion vinyl plank; or the amazing décor of porcelain and ceramic tile. How about the timeless inspiration of woods, like American Hardwoods for floors, furniture, cabinetry? The glory of carpet backed by the performance of a stain- and odor-protecting cushion? And let’s not forget the splendor, colors, patterns and carved surfaces afforded by wool for carpet and rugs. One message should be clear as you read through these pages: There is always something new. ™ 2015 No. 46 SUBSCRIBE ONLINE! www.fabulousfloorsmagazine.com MARGO RODGERS LOCUST Publisher & Editor-In-Chief [email protected] LISBETH CALANDRINO Associate Publisher & Director of Social Media [email protected] RON TOELKE Creative Director [email protected] EMMANUEL LOCUST Director Trade Show & Event Operations KAREN GEORGE Director of Accounting and Finance [email protected] STAN MICHELSON Director of marketing [email protected] BARBARA KEMPLER-TOELKE Editorial Assistant RAY STEWART Production Manager ALEXANDER & ASSOCIATES Newsstand D
