Let's Nest!

Fall Is HERE!

It's fall, the leaves are changing to brilliant reds and golds, bringing warm sunny days and cool crisp nights.
It's time to turn our attention indoors, where we'll be nesting til Spring!
Time to assess, edit and refresh.
Start with a new area rug!




Area rugs are a great way to enhance and define your living spaces. With the cold months ahead, natural wool is not only beautiful but will insulate, keeping you warm.
It's easy to measure your space with painters tape. Most of us will want our furniture sitting on the rug, but it's not written in stone,either. 
Layering area rugs can be a fun way to add texture , but layering must be done with flat weave area rugs. There's a trick to it; start with colors that coordinate and add patterns to compliment.



Shag! 
They're back in a big way! You can choose from an inch to over 5"! Nylon is a way to add vibrant color at an affordable price, but wool, that's the luxury way to go. There are so many new colors available in wool like never before that can be dyed to match what you have,even a paint swatch!
There are beautiful blends now of wool and polyester or wool and nylon. These blends will add sheen to wool.



Hand tufted or hand knotted? 
Nothing beats the luxurious feel of a cut pile wool area rug.
Traditional, transitional or contemporary, these rugs will last forever, with very little care.
They are an investment, but will give years of use and can be handed down to your next generation.
Enjoy your hunt, and then get cozy!
