To continue to lead the industry in the Athens and Lake Oconee communities with the latest trends and cutting-edge design, Dalton Carpet One Floor & Home is excited to announce the unveiling of their newly renovated showroom, designed to showcase forward-thinking design styles and concepts. The showroom was officially completed on November 1st and Dalton welcomed customers to the updated space featuring new flooring displays and expertly designed vignettes.

Dalton’s biggest undertaking in the showroom remodel was the fully functioning main Kitchen, which includes a custom porcelain-faced alcove hood vent with natural walnut interior shelving and a grand island with a matching waterfall countertop with a built-in breakfast table. There are also added surprises, like a fireplace built into the kitchen island, a hidden butler’s pantry, and a built-in pet food station.

Join us in the excitement as Athens’ favorite wine event, Athens Wine Weekend returns at The Classic Center in Downtown Athens on February 2-4, 2024. 

The weekend begins with an Amuse-Bouche, or “A Little Surprise,” on Friday evening, featuring several of the most skilled and talented chefs from the Athens area. Each chef will provide a sampling of their cooking artistry, all paired with the perfect wine to arouse the palate. 

Kick off your Saturday afternoon with Grand Tasting, where participants can peruse and sample wines from around the world. While you sip and stroll, dive into one of the many seminars, such as “Rocking the Roses,” to expand your knowledge of the grape and learn from the best local wine educators. Ready for a culinary experience like no other? End the evening with tickets to our Gourmet Dinner, an incredible multi-course meal complemented by wines hand-selected by Frank Sinkwich, President of Northeast Sales Distributing. 

Round out the weekend with Sunday’s Sparkling Wine Brunch and enjoy specialty mimosas and a delicious breakfast buffet. 

"As you may already know, this was a year of exploration and discovery in the studio. I wanted to push my comfort zone and try new things, but as you can imagine- that’s hard as an adult. (Making yourself do something you aren’t initially good at seems counterintuitive.)

So I thought back to a time when I truly just created art for the sake of art. No worries about grades, or critiques, or sales- just being creative with no end goal in mind. And I immediately thought of elementary school. I’m not sure about your early art experiences, but mine were all about having fun. Wrapping paper collages, watercolor suns, simple landscapes with lollipop trees. It might not have been the “best” technically speaking, but it was full of love and enthusiasm.

So that is what this collection celebrates- the fun and freedom to explore, and the beauty that comes from it."

As a proud member of the Athens and Lake Oconee business communities, Dalton Carpet One Floor & Home has teamed up with other local small businesses to spread a little holiday cheer with 12 Days of Holiday Giveaways. The fun kicks off December 1, 2023, and no purchase is necessary to win. Instead, contestants are asked to follow Dalton Carpet One on Instagram.

During the 12 days, when contestants see a post with a product or service they’d like to win featured on Dalton Carpet One’s Instagram page, they must follow the featured business, like the post, and tag three people who love the holiday season. To gain extra entries, they can share the post on their own Instagram account. Winners will be selected at random and announced December 15. 

Every year, people across the United States come together on Dr. King's birthday to observe the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service. For over 20 years, the Athens community has been a part of this nationwide movement.

Financial contributions and in-kind donations will allow the Steering Committee to resourcefully use its assets to respond to project demand, expand the scope of service, and allow groups to apply for mini-grants for project supplies! Click below for more sponsorship information!
