Shahs of Sunset – I Can’t Look Away
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on April 3, 2012 - 0 CommentsThis weekend while Bravo played reruns of the new show, Shahs of Sunset, I tuned in just to check it out and instantly got sucked in by the glitz, glamour, and vitrol. It is such a horrifying trainwreck that you can’t look away. Equally horrifying to the drama in Shahs of Sunset is the lack of Persian carpets seen [...]
Decorate like The Godfather
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on March 8, 2012 - 0 CommentsLast week, AMC celebrated the 40th anniversary of The Godfather movies by running all three over and over and over. Of course, I had to watch them over and over and over as well. Part II of The Godfather trilogy is by far my favorite, partially because I love a young Robert Deniro, but also because [...]
I Think Knot
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on February 23, 2012 - 0 CommentsA rug recently came into our shop for repair, and it was something that even my dad had never seen before. It was a rug that was started using one type of knot technique and then completed using another. On the surface of the rug you can’t tell a thing. It looks totally normal. However, when [...]
Stairway to Carpet Heaven
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on February 1, 2012 - 0 CommentsOur newest, most exciting acquisition this month is not a new rug, but a staircase on wheels. Not sure what it is officially called, but to me, it is heaven. Now I can get rugs down off the racks myself without having to wait for help from someone with far more upper body strength. Looks like all it took to shatter [...]
White House Library Rug
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on December 1, 2011 - 0 CommentsRecently, photos of the White House decorated for the holidays were released. Normal people are probably ooing and ahhing over the trees, the ornaments, and the marzipan miniature of the White House, but not me. I’m drooling over the rug in the White House library. Just look at it peeking out from under the Christmas [...]
Yarn Organization!
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on November 11, 2011 - 0 CommentsThere is a good chance that my next post will be from an insane asylum somewhere, as organizing our ginormous knots of yarn which we use for rug repairs is making me crazy. Recently, I decided that our organizational system (I use the term loosely) needed an overhaul, so I got down to business then [...]
A Rug in the Unlikeliest of Places
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on October 31, 2011 - 0 CommentsLast night, my husband and I were watching a show about a show about Zombies. (Sad that I’m willing to admit that.) “Walking Dead” is a show about Zombies that my husband somehow convinced me to watch, and now, I’m too scared to stop watching it. “Talking Dead” is a talk show that follows the [...]
Persian Rugs Inspire Bedding
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on October 11, 2011 - 0 CommentsThe paisley, floral, and geometric designs of Persian rugs have always served as inspiration in the textiles industry. Elements of rug design can be seen everywhere. And now, not just elements, but entire rugs themselves can be seen in non-rug-textiles. I was surprised to see a Heriz patterned comforter, smack dab on the cover of [...]
What is Yelp?
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on October 3, 2011 - 0 CommentsI have a very unscientific gauge for whether or not something has made it in the online and social media world: My Dad. Because, if my Dad knows what it is (e.g. Facebook, Google, the Internet), then it is a pretty big deal. So, the other day when my father asked me, “What exactly is [...]
Hide Your Kashans! Big Lebowski Reunion!
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on August 17, 2011 - 0 CommentsThe Big Lebowski, the epic film about “The Dude,” is having a reunion tour with all the cast reuniting. Textile enthusiasts will remember with horror the scene where loan sharks after their money retaliate on “The Dude” by urinating on his Persian rug. A very high-end Kashan Persian rug, this item is just about the [...]
