Carpet Magic

The power of RavishingRugs

“I have always loved the finer things of life – fine wine, fine art, lovely gardens, and gourmet food. But for some reason I had never invested in high quality designer carpets. Meeting Barbara Buffington changed all that.

“As soon as I saw, and more importantly, felt Barbara’s unique selection of carpets I knew I had discovered more than simply a source of high quality carpets. The instant I caressed the carpets displayed in her showroom, two words came to my mind – timeless treasures.

“Images of my children and grandchildren lounging on those carpets drifted through my mind. I knew that the carpets I chose would become family heirlooms, passed from generation to generation. Family celebrations – birthdays, holidays, graduations – would all take place on those carpets and they would be imbued with those precious memories.

“I have always been afraid that my life was not pristine enough to have such gorgeous pieces of “art” on my floor. For that is how I view Barbara’s ravishing rugs – as art. Their rich colours and distinguished designs, their lush textures and even their sensual scent are an art form all their own.

“Barbara patiently dispelled my fears and affirmed that indeed these fine pieces of art were not only hardy enough to withstand the “troops” of my visiting family and friends, but they were easy to care for and to wash.

“Almost two years have passed since I began my love affair with Barbara’s ravishing carpets. They have added a new dimension to my life and home. They are truly the foundation of my home’s comfort and “homey-ness”.

“Although they look like a million dollars, their cost was within my budget. The monetary investment I made is a mere fraction of the value of the beauty and constant comfort they provide. And that value will last for my children and my childrens’ children and, well, who knows. Maybe Barbara’s ravishing carpets will be in my family forever.

“That’s what I call magic.

“Thank you, Barbara, from another one of your many happy carpet collectors!” Lucretia S.

“From the moment I asked Barbara to help me with the perfect rug design for my formal dining room, I knew I could relax and would get a real piece of art. It has since become the focal point of our home and a constant conversation piece to all our guests.” Jean M.

“In the summer of 2000, I visited Barbara Buffington in her office and she had a most beautiful and extremely unusual carpet in her entrance way. I could not take my eyes off it – it was like magic tugging at me with its beauty and charm. “I simply had to have it.” Unfortunately it was not for sale but Barbara was able to order one for me. While I was waiting for this masterpiece to arrive, I selected another very special carpet that represented a calming elegance to me. When my original choice arrived, it was even more beautiful than the one in Barbara’s office. Since then, I have acquired a total of 7 of these beautifully hand crafted works of art. Each one is unique and tells its own story of beauty and charm. I truly cherish and value these carpets – they have a special place in my heart.” Renee W., Victoria

“Over the past three years I have purchased four rugs from Barbara Buffington. I am extremely pleased with their appearance and quality. The colours just glow and feel wonderful to walk, sit or lie on. The carpets are very easy care; all I need to do is vacuum periodically. Over the years there is no sign of wear at all. These rugs are an heirloom to hand on to my children and I am proud to have them in my home.” Virginia E., Cortes Island

“I am delighted with the Ravishing Rug purchased from Barbara Buffington. It is ideal in shape, colour, pattern, and ability to stand up to wear in the location for which it was bought. It does brighten up the kitchen area where it is in use. It was easy and a pleasure to deal with Barbara.” Mary N.

“We purchased a Ravishing Rug from Barbara about 6 months ago. We originally put it at the foot of our bed but now have it in front of our living room couch where we can enjoy it more. It is a beautiful ochre color, with small, contrasting designs. In addition to the rich colors we also enjoy the plushness of the pile. It is very satisfying to walk on, and we also spread out our mat on it to do yoga in the morning. We have received many compliments on it. We appreciate the quality and beauty of our carpet and expect to enjoy it for many years to come. Namaste Barbara!” Gary and Linda O.

“We purchased two of RavishingRugs’ lovely carpets last year for our new house that we are currently engaged in building. RavishingRugs offers a tremendous variety of rugs, of many differing designs, all with exquisite colours and intricate patterns, and Barbara went through them all, very patiently, several times until we made our selection. We feel that the workmanship and quality are first class, resulting in an accessory that is an asset and an heirloom to any style of home. Barbara’s knowledge and enthusiasm for these carpets made it a pleasure to do business with RavishingRugs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.” Chris and Beth N.

“My RavishingRug has lush substance that both graces a room and adds a strong decorative statement with its durable timeless beauty and exquisite craftsmanship.”Lorna B.
