Beautifying Your Home With Nobel Carpets and Rugs

Let Your Home, Looks Like Heaven on Earth.

Gbemile Oluwatosin.

Why should you always step on a carpet once there is an event, when you can eventually walk, sleep and relax on your owned purchased carpet as much as you like.

Enough of allowing organiser of an event to stop persuading you to come, kick start their red carpet, yellow carpet, blue carpet show for them.

Imagine the feelings you get whenever you stepped on a carpet or rug, what comes first, is the coolness, calmness, and the elegant while walking on the rug or carpet.

In case you are wondering whether an antique carpet would fit aesthetically well with your modern sitting room settings. “Rugs are wonderful for pulling rooms together. They establish a relationship by pulling all the furniture of a particular space within.” Rugs and carpets draw all the pieces tightly together in a more conversational pattern. They also define a space by drawing a visible line around all the pieces, both uniting them and dividing them from the rest of the room.

Observation shows that that a sense of “warmth” is evoked with the addition of a carpet, along with the wonderful feel of walking on a softer, more luxurious surface. So therefore, think Nobel Carpets and Rugs, use it, and see the beauty it will bring to your home, the use of selfie snap will convince you in appreciating your home.

Big Boss, Keshi is gone!

The African football fraternity is mourning the death of former Nigeria captain and Coach Stephen Keshi, died from a cardiac arrest at the age of 54.

Keshi died suddenly in the early hours of Wednesday morning in Benin City in southern Nigeria. He was planning to return to his base in the United States later that day.

His friends say that Keshi was in good health and had no previous heart problems.
He was scheduled to return to the United States on Wednesday evening before he suffered cardiac arrest.

The former international football player and coach had lost his 35 years, Kate, last year after a prolonged battle with cancer.

Our source, confirmed his death from a member of his family as well as one of his close associates.
“He was not ill at all, never showed any signs of illness, but we suspect he never got over the death of his wife,” a friend said.

He is survived by four children and his mother.

After winning 64 Nigeria caps as a central defender between 1981-95, Keshi had three stints in charge of Togo before taking over as Nigeria coach in 2011 until last year. He also coached Mali between 2008-10.
