Delicious Meals on Gorgeous Rugs

Entertaining friends and family are a natural extension of Bruce and John’s lives.

Cooking delicious meals is just one aspect of their generous hospitality. From brunch in the kitchen nook with sunlight streaming through the windows to elaborate dinners in their more formal dining room—YOU get to ENJOY.

Meals are prepared in the kitchen while standing on long Tribal Chobi runners. Oh, did I say “standing on rugs while cooking”? I sure did, because this is the other aspect of life at the home of John and Bruce. You will find Bunyaad rugs in all areas of the home.

Creating a scrumptious meal made with fresh, quality ingredients spills over into other areas of their lives. John and Bruce have been long-time customers of fair trade rugs. They have supported the rug program because they know how each rug purchase changes the lives of rug artisans in Pakistan.

Buying a Bunyaad rug made with high quality materials also means that the rug can easily handle messes in the kitchen or spilled wine and butter dripping from your lobster while sharing dinner.

Each rug has been carefully selected to fit the décor and mood of each room. Chobis in muted earthen tones in the kitchen nook and underfoot while cooking invite you to chat and hang out with the cook. Deep reds and creams in the intricate Persian and on the wall accented by black and gold call for a five-course meal and lively discussions into the night while seated around the dining room table.

    rugs-living-room-95

    A rug should fit your home. A rug should fit your lifestyle. A rug should be easy to take care off. A rug should… Fill in the space for what you think a rug should do. These are all valid expectations when you are looking to find a rug for your home.

    How will you know that a rug will fit?

    We work with customers every day and guide them through the process of selecting a rug, sharing our knowledge and understanding of how a Bunyaad rug is made and able to withstand many years of active living. Our favorite stories to tell though are those we hear from our customers who own a Bunyaad rug. These stories best answer the questions above as they show how you can find a rug to fit your home and your lifestyle.

    Rug Expectations? Yes. Rug Found? Oh Yes!

    Wanessa, our accountant here at the Bunyaad Rug Room at Ten Thousand Villages in Ephrata, shares how she found the rug that answered all of her “a rug should” expectations.

    Two kids, two dogs, two styles of rugs

    A Chobi welcomes you to the home of Liz and Scott.

    Two friendly bulldogs were my welcoming committee and my first indicator that all of the Bunyaad rugs in the home of Liz and Scott were not just on display but on the floor to be used. That, I have to say, is the best recommendation we can ever receive. Liz mentioned several times during my visit that they kept coming back for more Bunyaad rugs because they knew that the rugs could easily handle their active family life.

    A Quilt and a Kazak Living in Perfect Harmony

    Quilt
    When I walked into the home of Gill and Dave my eyes went straight to the quilt on the wall in the living room. I love symmetry and vibrant, yet harmonious color combinations and this quilt was a perfect example showcasing both. What made the quilt stand out even more though was the Tribal Kazak sitting almost underneath as part of a cozy sitting area.

    As an artist, Gill is drawn to handmade, finely crafted products. Even before moving to the US many years ago she had discovered Bunyaad Rugs online and searched our extensive inventory for the perfect rug for her new home. She appreciates how much care is put into each rug and delights in exploring design details and how they will work with her furniture pieces and other art work.

    Truffula Trees & Whimsy in the Rug World

    20160216-Persian-Lorax

    Look at this rug. Really look at it. What comes to your mind?

    Upon discovering this rug as he checked in the new shipment, our co-worker Doug proclaimed that he was convinced that Dr. Seuss had something to do with this rug. “Look! Look at those trees! Don’t they remind you of Truffula trees from The Lorax?”. At first, we rolled our eyes but we then saw what he meant.

    What to choose? Intricate patterns or simple lines?

    Patterns on rug, fabric

    Imagine this scenario: You come into the Rug Room looking for a plain colored rug. Why?

    Well, your couch has a pattern, your love seat has a slightly different pattern, the armchair is in a contrasting color and the wallpaper and curtains all bring their own unique challenges to the design table. Too many patterns you think. The only solution to this seems to be a plain colored rug with as little pattern as possible.

    In the Rug Room we see this scenario many times and help our customers combine the patterns in their home with a Bunyaad rug that also offers a variety of colors and patterns. Let us show you how.

    Ephrata Rug Room under Renovation

    RenoStaffThe Bunyaad Rug Room at Ten Thousand Villages in Ephrata is under a major renovation… painting, new flooring, the works!… but guess who is doing most of the reno…. Rug Room staff! We are finding that many of our staff have incredible hidden skills in painting tedious edges, organizing major fixture moves and otherwise keeping after a group of willing painters!

    Reno started today (updates being posted on our facebook page) and we quickly found that keeping after desk work while painting was quite difficult, especially when we had to disconnect our internet downstairs in order to paint the wall behind the router. 🙂 We will be closing this Saturday, August 1, at 3 p.m. so that we can really start making some major messes… and then we will reopen on Saturday, August 8 at 10 a.m.
