Antique Chair Dealer

Need FAST help before I submit this story! please help and tell me if this is right?

ok so i have written a story about a rocking chair and how a man makes it for his wife and their new born baby and then when the woman dies her kids sell it because they don't look at it as a symbol of the dads love for his family they only look at it as what it is worth in terms of money. so they sell it to an antique dealer and a guy buys it and he is restoring it to give to his wife and unborn child and this is my last sentence few lines:

That night, while his wife slept, the man carried the chair from his car to his shed where he began sanding the arms back, smoothing out each scratch. Night after night the man continued lovingly restoring his gift preparing it for his family to grow around.

does that make sence? should i change it? is the growing around part stupid? anything else?
thank you so much to anyone who answers! if you like please send a link and i will answer yours

the 'growing around' part does bring the sentence down a little...

try this:

'And as the man carried the chair from his car, he thought about the love and time he would put into restoring it, and the wonderful feeling he'd get watching his family grow up around it.'

or this:

And that night, as his wife slept, the man sanded back the arms of the chair, and worked out the scratches put into its surface. He smiled, and thought of the joy it would bring to him as he watched his family grow up around it.

it sound like an interesting story. although instead of saying the man, you should say his actual name. Putting 'the man' is making the story sound mediocre so make sure you're not that throughout the entire story

Email me if you need more help, i love doing this kind of stuff

edit: okay NOW its letting me send it, it wasn't at first so i emailed it

Selecting An Antique Persian Rug For A Dining Room

Placing an antique Persian rug in a dining rooms drastically chances the space.  Instead of a place to eat, an antique rug turns a dining room into a place to gather, to talk, to enjoy the company of family and friends.  An antique Persian rug makes a dining room into another family room and a place to linger.

Selecting an antique rug for a dining room is different from choosing one for elsewhere in the home.  Antique Persian rugs lend themselves well for dining room use as they have a high knot count, making them more durable than rugs with lower knot counts.  Persian rugs have higher knot counts because of the way they are made, and also due to the intensity of the designs.  The more design elements on a rug, the more knots are necessary to create the details.  Even if a rug does not have a dense, intricate design, ask the antique rug dealer about the knot count and fiber content of any rug under consideration.

Fiber content is also very important for a rug that will undergo heavy use.  The vast majority of antique Persian rugs, and new Persian rugs, are made of wool.  Wool is a wonderful material for dining room rugs as wool is hearty.  It cleans easily, withstands wear and tear, and hold shape and color beautifully.  Wool rugs should be vacuumed regularly to remove dirt, sand, and other loose particles.  If babies or children will be eating in the dining room, it is a good idea to put down a splat matt to protect the rug until the children are big enough to not make large messes when they eat.

Size is very important when selecting an antique Persian rug for the dining room.  The rug should be large enough to accommodate the table and chairs, even when the chairs are pulled out with people sitting in them.  A quick rule of thumb for finding the right size rug is that a table with 4 chairs needs a 6 foot by 9 foot rug to accommodate it.  However, tables differ drastically in size, so it is a very good idea to measure the table and chairs and the size of the room, and have that information on hand at the antique rug dealer showroom.

While size and composition are the technical considerations of antique Persian rug shopping, color and design matter only in that they please the owner.  Some rug shoppers prefer small, intricate designs and bright colors, while others prefer open designs in muted colors, or any combination thereof.  Many antique rug dealers offer plans where rugs may be taken home on approval.  Ask if the dealer offers this option, and know what the terms of return are.  If a rug doesn't work out as well in the dining room as it seemed to have in the showroom, return it and try something different.  Making note of what didn't work will help the antique rug dealer help the customer find a rug that will turn the dining room into a comfortable space to linger.
