Rug Promotion! Free 2x3 rug with the purchase of a larger rug.

We are excited to announce a new promotion running through the end of May. With the purchase of any 3x5 or larger rug, you will receive a FREE 2x3 accent rug of choice or a free rug pad (same size as rug purchased). Our 2x3 rugs sell for up to $85 so this is a great deal!

If you haven't seen our rug selection, please check them out online at http://www.companyc.com/. We have samples of each rug in our stores and you are welcome to check them out to bring home and match up with your decor.

Company C rugs are hand made of 100% wool. Three constructions are used to create the designs: hand hooked loop pile, hand tufted cut pile and hand hooked/tufted combination. All rugs have hand sewn edges and cotton backing for improved quality and durability. Their colors are vibrant, their styles are fresh and their quality is exceptional.

A new rug is a wonderful way to spruce up your interior and completely change the look and feel of your space. Stop in and we'd be happy to show you some of their new introductions as well as our tried and true best sellers. Hope to see you soon!

Placemat Samples Have Arrived!

We had one of those "why didn't we think of this sooner" moments yesterday when our samples of Karen Lee Ballard laminated placemats arrived. We've been stocking their wonderful placemats for a few years now but typically only have 8-10 patterns in stock at a time. There are over 50 patterns to choose from and we finally had the idea to ask them to send us one of each. We now have a sample of each pattern in the store for customers to see. This way you can find the perfect match for your kitchen and/or dining room decor. You can also check out samples to see how they look in your home before you buy. We even have a few wonderful beachy patterns that are great for beach houses or to give as gifts for friends in Florida, etc.


Check out the whole collection at http://www.karenleeballard.com/ and please stop in at our Fairfax store to see them in person. The new Perrenial Lane Honey is my favorite and the new Dahana Coral would be really fun for summer. Our customers love these placemats and so do we. They are especially great for kids because they wipe clean and best of all, they are made using beautiful fabrics so they are not only functional but they are a great accessory!

Fairfax Merchandise Slideshow

You can now see a slideshow of our merchandise in our Fairfax store as well as our Brambleton store (see right). Please call or email us if you would like additional information on anything that might catch your eye!

We're Back!

Oh my, can't quite believe it's been over 3 months since our last posting. Yikes. The holiday season kept us busy, thankfully, and now we're back to our normal routines with time to post.

Unfortunately we missed both the Atlanta and New York markets in January but we are fortunate to have wonderful sales reps who can bring lots of merchandise to us to review so we'll be receiving a steady stream of new products over the next few months.

In the past week we've brought in a beautiful collection of wall plates (http://www.tamsandesigns/) at our Fairfax store and we have a supply of plate racks that can hold 2, 3 and 4 plates. We've also brought in a new floral line (http://www.distinctivedesigns.com/) at Fairfax that creates wonderful arrangements. We've chosen a few clean arrangements of orchid watergardens, bamboo and rosemary. They're another option to supplement our fabulous arrangements by NDI (http://www.ndi.com/). This time of year is perfect for bringing in an arrangement to brighten up your home.

Also new, we've included a slideshow (see right) of our in-stock merchandise. We hope this is a great way for you to view what we have in the stores from the comfort of your home (or office . . .if it's a slow day). If you see anything that peaks your interest, please call or email (info@shopthenestegg.com) us for information on pricing, sizing, colors, etc. The Brambleton slideshow is live and we hope to have Fairfax up by early next week.

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is enjoying the freshness of a new year!

Welcome Lort's - Our Newest Furniture Line

We are thrilled to introduce Lort's, our newest furniture line, to our Brambleton store (hopefully coming to Fairfax soon -- if you are in the Fairfax store, please talk to our manager Jenny if you are interested). Last night we were fortunate to receive a detailed overview of the line and learn about all of the finishes, styles and options from our Lort's sales representative. We are ready to share the line with you!

Like us, Lort's is a family owned and operated business. Founded in 1966 and based in Arizona, Lort's prides itself on their design and production of beautiful furniture, offering custom finishes (30 to be exact) and sizes making each piece unique (which is also something we strive for at The Nest Egg). Click here to read more about their history and philosophy: http://www.lorts.com/static.php?pid=7

Our first shipment arrived last month in Brambleton and it is truly stunning. The waxing and distressing options create a richness on the pieces which is what immediately drew us to the line when we first saw it in High Point last year. Already we've had tremendous customer interest and it's a pleasure to show the line.

To see more of the variety of pieces available, click on the link below to view the Lort's catalog online and stop in our Brambleton store to see our floor samples (all are for sale for immediate gratification) as well as our finish and color samples. We're more than happy to work with you to choose a piece and finish (or design a custom piece) that make your room truly unique.

Lafco Candles Make the O List

Many of us have seen our favorite products featured on Oprah's "O List" and we've also found new products by checking out her list. The September O List includes one of our very favorites -- Lafco New York's House & Home Candle Collection. http://www.oprah.com/slideshow/omagazine/olist/200809_omag_olist/4

We discovered these soy-based candles at the Atlanta market in January of last year. Everyone always seems to be looking for a candle that has just the right scent for the room in which it's burning and Lafco has figured them all out. From Cilantro Orange in the kitchen to Chamomile Lavendar in the Master Bedroom and Amber Black Vanilla in the Foyer, the wonderful scents are matched only by the beautiful reusable handblown glass containers that they come in.

The Marine Bathroom candle has been the most popular with our customres since we started carrying the line (I light it in my bedroom -- it has a great, clean scent).

Check out the testers next time you're in the stores and see if you agree with the O List!
