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.

Design elements that bring the world together

Liz and Scott have a wonderful eye for design elements and color combinations. This cozy sitting area just off the entrance combines beautiful art pieces from around the world. The bold geometric design of the Khan Mamdi in rust and cream tones finds itself again in the masks on the wall. A contemporary black shelf holds elephants and a variety of other small sculptures showing that the traditional designs found in the rug and masks are complemented by modern, clean lines.

Take a look at the red Khan Mamdi behind the sofa. Don’t those colors look amazing against the leather? Do you have to have matching rugs in close proximity? As you can see here you certainly don’t. The Chobi and Khan Mamdi work so well together and with their surrounding furniture. It’s a place I would have liked to just sit and relax.

Why not? Choose a light colored rug for the dining room

Active children, two dogs and yet the family chose a light colored Chobi for the dining room. Why not? Food spills stay on top of the rug fibers and easily wash out.

The red flowers in the Chobi are almost in reverse in the seat cushions of the dining room chairs. You can tell that each rug was carefully chosen for their specific design and colors. Liz and Scott have chosen Bunyaad rugs for their home not just because of the beauty and easy care but also knowing that each person involved in making their rugs was fairly paid.

As you often hear us say, “It’s a win-win situation for all. Quality You Desire, Fairness Artisans Deserve.”

    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.

    The Dougs Say Goodbye and Farewell Pakistan

    Doug and master designerWe enjoyed a great time in Pakistan. Everywhere we went we met friendly, helpful and incredibly hospitable people. It seemed like everyone wanted to shake our hands and give us a hug. On Sunday afternoon, while touring the old Lahore Fort, a number of people wanted their pictures taken with us. Contrary to what we hear and read in the media about Pakistan, it’s a great place to travel – safe, friendly, hospitable and very scenic.

    The Dougs travel from Lahore to Islamabad to Murree

    20151118-pakistan-learning-tour-day7-2

    In the morning we left Lahore and drove down the M2 Motorway towards Islamabad. The M2 Motorway between Lahore and Islamabad is a 6 lane divided highway, about 400 km long.

    After about 2 hours of driving we stopped at Kallar Kahar, a lake near the Motorway. This is a stop for migratory birds from Siberia and a popular tourist spot for Pakistani people. We saw lots of school students out for the day on paddle boats, riding on the Ferris wheel and on a furry white camel. We took a motorboat ride and stopped to photograph some birds.

  • Knot Brothers, The Movie

    KnotBrothersSquare
    We talk a lot about how every knot in a Bunyaad rug is tied by hand but we were recently reminded that we don’t often talk about HOW every knot is tied.
    Our rugs use primarily two types of knots: the Senna knot and the Turkish knot.

    The Senna knot is an asymmetrical knot and is used in the majority of our rugs, from Persians to Chobi tribals. It is virtually formed with a figure 8 around two warp threads.

    The Turkish knot is also tied around two warp threads but instead of a figure 8, it is a knot where both ends of the wool come out together instead of on either side of one warp thread, like the Senna knot.

    Confused yet? Let us show you how these knots are tied, as only our staff can… with a little movie.

    Modern Chic Meets Timeless Classics

    Rugs at Parade of Homes

    When designing our homes we want the overall effect to be a pleasing whole. The wallpaper shouldn’t fight with the sofa fabric, the styles of furniture shouldn’t compete with each other. You put time, energy and money into creating an authentic space that will be lived in by real people. YOU and your family!

    Modern chic is relatively timeless as the basic design elements change only minimally and translate across decades. This is were Bunyaad rugs come in and add a timeless beauty and individuality that make your home personal and a most comfortable place to live in.

    The Dougs learn about Education and Washing Rugs

    Students lined up for the beginning of the school day at St. John’s.

    After a hearty breakfast at the Chaman home we walked across the street to visit St. John’s school. The school is on the same property as St. John’s church. The school has 168 students from Kindergarten to grade 10 and 13 teachers. Families that can afford to pay a small monthly tuition. Families that can’t afford to pay can send their children for free. The Principal, Ms. Mehrul Nisa, said that 60% of the students go on to college.
