Carpet Shopping! There are so many green carpet choices to choose from that it is exciting. It is frustrating though at how many carpets are blends of polyester and wool. Zoltan and I want to have 100% wool carpet, which is looking like it is going to cost us 3 to 4 times more than the blends. After looking through the samples and feeling them though we are confident in our choice to upgrade.
Carpet shopping has reminded me of my college days when I majored in weaving. I fondly remember carding and cleaning, spinning and weaving raw wool from local farms. Knowing that my feet are touching a grass product grown into wool by peaceful animals makes me feel emotionally and spiritually invested the products I am looking at. I want my home to be an environment where I surround myself in natural materials that I connect with.
I have chosen the 2 carpets that I like best and I am now waiting for Nanette from Generic Carpet to research the availability and price estimates for these samples. Nanette works extensively with contractors and rehabbers and is an excellent resource for specialized carpets at wholesale and below market rates. I have worked with Nanette before and am looking forward to working with her again.Her contact number is 503-297-8123.
