Burgundy Supreme
Our dear friends at Huff Furniture in Atlanta, GA sent us this posting about a condo they're responsible for furnishing. Our only question is... when can we move in? This place is beautiful, and the Shimmer Rug in Chrome looks fantastic!

Photoshoot...
Yesterday we did a photoshoot at a super chic (super top secret) location... We will be uploading these fantastic new images to the website ( www.dweavers.com ) ASAP. Until then, here's a teaser. We think it's VERY "Nature as Art... Art as Nature." You decide. Comments welcome!

Cantoni House
We would never leave this media room in the Cantoni House.
They have some great pics on their site.
**Notice the stunning Dreamweavers Rug**

... is quite taken with our upcycled products. They write:
Ever wonder what happens to the scraps of fabric leftover from garment making? If you’re like me, you probably haven’t. My first introduction to upcycling fabric waste came when I started selling rug pads made in part from new clothing remnants. Each time I receive an order the pads look a bit different depending on which fabric scraps were used. It’s quite fascinating to see first hand the efforts manufacturers are making in repurposing industry waste.
Dreamweavers is one company utilizing upcycled products in rug making. Their Executive Rugs Line (photo above) is constructed of material leftover after making men’s neckties. Bits of silk and polyester fabric are cut and sewn by hand, filled with a poly filling then pieced together. The rug is promoted as stain-resistant, colorfast and 100% machine washable.

Save Energy Tip of the Day: Buy Recycled
Posted by GreenGavin in Save Energy Tips on February 3rd, 2009
The waste pouring out of factories around the world is staggering, it’s disgusting. Even the most efficient factories put out thousands of pounds of waste each year.
That’s why I do my best to buy recycled products when I can, I’d just be part of the problem if I didn’t.
And before you say you don’t want to go buy some stained old clothes or an egg-carton couch, take a look at some of the really great “reclaimed” products. They go a step beyond normal recycling, and use the waste byproducts of creating normal goods.
This Cotton Spaghetti Rug, for example, is one way to get great looking designer stuff from normal waste products.

Keeping Ourselves Contained
On a recent Saturday shopping excursion we spied this at our local Container Store.That's a Pebble Rug: Natural on the cover. They don't sell them, but we're glad they used it for their catalog!

The Decorating Diva has an interesting piece about eco-friendly rugs. We think it's interesting because we have a rug on the Top 12 Stylish Eco-Friendly Rugs - 2009 list.Top 12 Stylish Eco-Friendly Rugs - 2009
Eco friendly decorating that’s stylish, practical, and innovative has finally hit the floor. Eco sensitive rugs made from diverse materials ranging from: natural fibers like wool to upcycled poly-silk blends to recycled nylon fibers to repurposed bicycle tires are fashioned into creative and innovative forms that will have you taking a second look at what lies beneath your feet.
3. Dreamweavers‘ “Executive” rug made from upcycled silk blend ties saved from the cutting floor.
Dreamweavers, early pioneers of the eco-decorating industry, have been repurposing and giving new life to a range of discarded (and scrapped) materials such as cotton, fleece, silk, chamois and shearling before being eco-friendly was a chic buzzword bantered about in design circles .

We are so InStyle...
We always love to see our products in media. Thanks to our friends at Cantoni for sending in this clipping. We're in Instyle magazine, June 2009! Actress Olivia Wilde (who is starring in the new Tron 2.0 movie in theatres summer 2010) got a closet make-over. The finished room includes an Angel Hair Coral Design Rug from Cantoni (made by Dreamweavers).http://modern-contemporary-furniture.blogspot.com/2009/05/cantoni-angel-hair-rug-in-olivia-wildes.html
