Hue: Sunshine

We may still be quarantined, but can we please get an amen for the ability to get outside and enjoy these first sumptuous tastes of springtime?! Lately, we’ve all been inspired by the life-giving energy of the sunshine, along with the vibrant hues popping up in blooms all around us. The color yellow evokes cheerfulness, stimulates positive mental activity, and invokes joy. Not sure about y’all, but we’ll gladly soak in all the light we can get these days.

SHOP THE SUNSHINE

If you’re ready to start thinking about bringing some color, texture and pattern into your own home, let’s chat about our interior design services to see if it would be a good fit for us to work together. We offer virtual services (handier than ever during these shelter-in-place days) and would love to meet you on a Zoom call soon.

This post was beautifully composed by our girl Rachael Bell, CLOTH & KIND’s Design & Operations Director. Thanks, Rach!

Detroit Rug Restoration

Y'all know we love nothing more than supporting small businesses because these are the makers & artisans, the shopkeepers & visionaries, the heart & soul behind what keeps our communities authentic. We can think of no better example than Edmond & Angela, the brother and sister team who founded and run Detroit Rug Restoration, and were blown away when we recently visited their space on 8 Mile Road in Detroit. 

The pair's great grandfather founded DRR's sister company, Hagopian, a rug cleaning company, in 1939 but it wasn't until Edmond & Angela recognized the importance of preserving handwoven and hand-knotted rugs and the growing movement for layering vintage rugs in modern homes that Detroit Rug Restoration was born. 

Because this company is one of a very small handful of highly reputable workrooms in the country that offers specialty restoration services like re-weaving, fringe replacement, and more, they have the privilege of working on rugs from from around the world. Damn, we are fortunate to have them in our own backyard! Not only because of what kind and genuine people Edmond, Angela and their entire, wicked talented team are, but also because of their deep and vast supply of jaw-dropping antique and vintage rugs.   

“I have always thought of rugs as having life to them... Like the weaver left a little of their soul in each piece they created. Beautifully crafted rugs age a lot like people. Not better or worse, just very different over time… very human.”
— Edmond Hagopian

Detroit Rug Restoration also welcome custom requests - so if you're looking for a rug of a specific size, style or color palette give them a shout and they just may be able to track something perfect down for you. They even buy great pieces, so before you donate or toss that old rug, talk to these guys.  

Shop now and check back frequently as they are constantly refreshing their inventory (what you see online is only a very small fraction of the incredible rugs they have stacked up in their facility). Enjoy!
