As I recently mentioned, we're working on getting an online store up & running for Pure Style Home. It's going to be filled with one-of-a-kind things I absolutely love and want to keep. (But because I'm not independently wealthy and don't have ten houses, must sell ;) I am SO INSANELY EXCITED over the rugs we just recently found to be sold in the shop!! (We were only able to buy 4 to start out with- rugs are a serious investment- eek!) All of the rugs chosen are hand-knotted, have an antique washed feel, and I want to keep every single one. I'm in the process of photographing them and was just too excited not to share with you. This one is a Mamluk rug, created in the style of rugs produced during the Mamluk Dynasty in 14th Century Egypt. It's full of golds and browns with splashes of pale blue-green:
It's approximately 8 x 11 and I'm seriously in love, Here's a close-up:
I'm really not a sales person but have started this venture out of my love for stuff. Yeah, there I said it, I LOVE STUFF. But I can't keep it all, and in my job, I see so many beautiful things that it's hard to walk away from them. It's hard for me to "sell" things to anyone, but if I don't, I'll end up with either a house smashed-full of beautiful things and an empty bank acoount or having to continue to walk away from all of these treasures. So, the new shop will be my outlet for making these items available to clients & others who love them as much as I do... a place for my "uncommon finds." I hope you never feel that posts like this are "salesy" and that I'm trying to push anything on you... I hope you see it as me being so excited that I want to share things with you because that's truly what it is.
{A bunch of the other items in the photos above will be for sale too, but I'm not sure which ones yet as I'm having trouble parting with them- ha!}
I'm adding inventory to the store daily and am trying to get it up and running as quickly as possible. I'll keep you posted!! Would love to know what you think of it!!
