Black and White in Design
Black and White in Design
Color is very often considered the most important aspect of interior design; standing head and shoulders above design, scale, use, materials etc.
But just like a black and white film, the absence of color
can create a dream like quality. This allows the voyeur to fill in colors
from one's own mind. I once took a few still life painting classes.
The most difficult class was an "extra credit" exercise in which the
teacher put on a table a draping of white sheets and white vases and
cups. We were to paint what we saw using NO white. It is amazing
what comes of that - in fact, very vivid colors.
Note the many film noir greats through the decades - right
up to the present period: The Maltese Falcon (1944), Casablanca (1942) and China
Town (Roman Polanski, 1974).
Thus for us, these black/white rugs and kitchen towels can
achieve the "architectural" look that is very forward.

Michaelian Home heads to Altanta with a stunning array of new products
Adding to their existing collections and expanding with new lines of accessories, Michaelian Home always has something extraordinary to add to your home.
Michaelian Home has a rich history in the textile business dating back to the 1920s when Frank Michaelian, grandfather of current owner Jason Sumner, was one of the first Americans to import from the Middle East and India. During this time, Frank Michaelian also set up a weaving center in China and he started a rug hooking mill in North Carolina. In doing so, he created a line of the finest hand knotted rugs, needlepoint pillows, and hooked rugs; a legacy that continues today.
Michaelian Home, along with its existing line of hand hooked wool and cotton rugs, needlepoint pillows, hooked wool and cotton pillows, also now offers benches, stools, travel bags, and coverlets. In 2016 Michaelian Home added a variety of new items including a line of handspun and hand-loomed shawls and throws, a line of creatively printed and embroidery-embellished pillows, and a line of chain stitched pillows. New designs include many seasonal and animal accents, mountain lifestyle themes, nautical offerings, golf designs and also a revival of many historical Michaelian Home designs. These new designs, featuring artistry of designers Betsy Whatley, Robin Sanson, and WILLIAMSBURG prove that while Michaelian Home continues to offer traditional and classic designs while staying abreast of the latest fashion trends. Michaelian Home often creates the unique new products that drive those trends. Always striving to keep a fresh perspective, they travel the world for inspiration and to source the highest quality materials.
Michaelian Home’s entire line can be seen in Building 1 at Americas Mart, Floor 9, E-23 from Tuesday July 12 through Tuesday July 19.

Rug Displays
These are some old textiles "carts". I am thinking about using them for rug displays. Rug displays are a problem for us and I know for our shop customers.
Take 2x3 or 3x5 rugs and roll them with the face on the outside. Put a nice tie string around the rug and put them into these carts. It does the trick and looks great.
What do you think?
