Happy New-ness


How fun it is to open newly arrived sample and area rug packages. We just received new Nourison, Axminster samples and a few beautiful hand knotted area rugs  I love this new area rug. It's hand knotted with a super soft, high luster yarn and a wool felted loop pile yarn that forms the pattern. The color is peaceful, a light birch-y/ vanilla/ taupe.  It comes 4 x 6, 5 x 8 and 8 x 11. P.s. The price is very affordable.

The David Hicks Inspiration

David Hicks has always been an inspiration to me. When searching for the right fabric, carpet or area rug for a project, the designer is sure to stumble across his influences throughout the design world. I love his bold carpet patterns, and his keen sense of style is everlasting. Plus, he designed his own garden in such a way one would assume that gardening was his concentration. The self-made English designer could have just as easily been called an artist for he molded homes in to art.
We carry a line of Mr. Hicks' carpets, recolored by the designer's son, Ashley Hicks, who is a fabulous designer in his own right. The carpets are wool loop pile Wiltons, therefor the patterns are precise and have a classic feel. See the pictures of a few of the selections below. Oh, yeah. There is a nice, clean stripe border for each colour way as well. Mike and I hope to see you soon, designers! xo
