This was our second shoot for the magazine – we were profiled a few years back. Photographer Michael Graydon did the honours again and captured both of us preggers! I was early along – but nice to have a little memento in addition to the lovely article.

Other pieces will be scattered throughout the rest of the house. In the entranceway, we’re going to put a Duncan Runner. My daughter currently has an Alphabet Soup rug in her room, but I’ll likely move it to the nursery and add an Ali rug or some other form of stripes to her bedroom.

For the library bordering the living room, I’d like to add add a Madeline Weinrib Mandala Chenille Rug. I love the charcoal one shown below, but I’m toying with the idea of using a white piece since the room itself will be quite dark. I can’t really go wrong, though, her entire collection is beautiful.

Welcome to my site. This is my space to explore, find, and share. I want to divulge ideas, thoughts, products, or just plain old everyday stuff that inspires me. Hopefully a smidgen of that will rub off on you. You never know.

My business began with a few sketches. I’d been sketching for years, actually. I’d tried bags, shirts, product of any sort. Rugs just sort of happened. Well, sort of. My family has been in the rug business for generations. But, I never thought I’d get into the business myself.

It was only when I started thinking of rugs as another canvas of sorts, that I got really into it. I could to take my love for colour and design and translate it into beautiful product that is made by hand with incredible care.

Now, the more I learn about the craftsmanship involved, the more excited I get and the more I love this trade (most of the time). But its still largely about dreaming up an idea and seeing it come to life.

My company and product line has grown organically. It began with the floor. Went to the walls. We’ll see what’s next. What I do know, is there will be more.

I love to explore. I’m a believer that half the battle is just taking action.

So, with that in mind, here is the start of something new. I really want to be here, I hope that you want to be here as well. Come back to visit. I’ll add new postings when I can. It won’t be all the time. But it will be frequent enough.

Thank you for visiting my site. I look forward to being in touch soon.
