I was so swamped during the month of August that I did not have any time to blog. I did however manage to bring along my camera and snap some awesome pics that I will be blogging about today.
This picture taken in the twilight of an early morning is of a large 8x10 tufted, wool rug, probably purchased at Pottery Barn. The owner of this wool rug called me one day to ask if I knew how to shrink a rug back into form once it had a stretch in the middle. I answered of course in the affirmative because part of knowing how to do rugs right involves knowing how to do them wrong.
This rug was involved in a flood in a home and the contractor that cleaned up the water took it to his garage and put a few 5 gallon buckets underneath it to get it off the ground in order to dry it. Well in the meantime, the wool rug had stretched in a few places as you can see in the photo above.

Here is a closer shot of the stretch marks that this tufted wool rug had from the attempted drying technique of an inexperienced contractor.

This is a close up shot of the rug after we had a chance to fix all of the stretch marks before delivering it to our client. She was so happy that we were able to save it for her. In fact, her husband wanted her to just throw it out, but he was more excited than she was when we returned it.
