Home improvements and furnishings are the real parts that matter. I enjoy working with the "homeowners" and making sure they get what they want. Ask me anything about home improvements and let me surprise you.

I can answer questions and give advice on the purchasing of Oriental carpets and the care of said carpets. I am more than happy to view photos and give approximate appraisals (I cannot be completely accurate with just a photo) via email on carpets that you have or would like to buy. I can also help with decorating decisions where rugs are concerned, and because I do have a store, I can help find you something if you`re having trouble finding it yourself.
