Merida Free Area Rug Winners
Every month we are running the
Free Area Rug Contest to help promote the sustainable aspects of our area rugs directly to consumers and designers. Here we introduce each of our monthly winners and share their thoughts about their new rugs:
October 2009 Winner- Susan Mierswa from Hugo, OK
"I am so thrilled and excited to have won this gorgeous jute area rug! I have been green for many years now and this will be a memorable addition to my way of life. Merida should be proud of their gorgeous and natural creations that make our world a more welcoming place to live in. I love the fact that you work with others around the world, but the rugs are made here in the USA! Thank you!” - Susan Mierswa
September 2009 Winner - Travis Heister from Charlotte, MI
"I'm a fan of Merida because of the interesting designs, natural materials, and great customization options.” - Travis Heister
August 2009 Winner - Susan Newcomb from La Quinta, CA
"I am thrilled to be selected to win this beautiful area rug! I wanted to win this rug from the moment I saw it!! The 5'x 8' Turkana rug in Sahara fits perfectly with our color scheme (tans, browns, creams, blacks, and golds) and is the exact size we need. I like the philosophy behind Merida. The fact that your company is environmentally friendly and concerned about working with other nations to further their productivity is impressive. Your designs are beautiful! A BIG THANK YOU!” - Susan Newcomb
July 2009 Winner - Tanga Winstead from New Orleans, LA
"Merida is my favorite line of rugs due to their quality, uniqueness and varied design options. I really love the Abaca collection for the great textured weaves and the fact that it doesn't have to be bound. As a natural, sustainable, hand woven product (Merida Rugs) offer character that machine produced rugs don't. I look forward to many years of great use and plan to use the rug in my guest loft which has been needing a rug for quite sometime.” -Tanga Winstead
