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 [...]
Inventory Memory Lane
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on August 9, 2011 - 0 CommentsAs I sort and categorize our inventory with my father (for uploading to our new site!), I am finding the process strangely reminiscent of going through the Christmas ornaments each year with my mother. Every so often, we’ll come across a rug that has been here forever, and there will be a story that goes [...]
Inventory is Going Up!
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on June 16, 2011 - 0 CommentsVery slowly, one by one, our store inventory is being placed online. There is a good chance that this may take me the rest of my life, but it will get done! Man, where is an unpaid intern when you need one?!? If you’re looking for a particular rug, and don’t see it in our [...]
New Website!
Posted in Uncategorized - Written by Katie on June 15, 2011 - 0 CommentsKicking and screaming, I’ve been dragged into the 21st century. We’re working on a new website, and here is the first post that I posted myself…well, with the help of a pretty nifty website system.
