Oriental Rug Restoration

Handwoven or hand knotted rugs native to the Middle or Far East available in many patterns and known for their colorations. Many machine-made rugs, made using Oriental rug designs, are also referred to as Oriental rugs.

An authentic oriental rug is a handmade carpet that is either knotted with pile or woven without pile. Oriental-design rugs made by machine, made through hand-tufting or any method other than hand-knotting or hand-weaving are not considered authentic oriental rugs.

Another view of the 'green' bathroom. Unfortunately, the old toilet has a HUGE tank; well, at least it's the color green, right? Note the cute vintage oriental rug I found at an antique store. It was exactly what I needed to tie it all together.
