With special thanks to Annette Burnett of Sellers Advantage Home Staging in John's Creek, GA for making the connection, the Metro Atlanta chapter of ASHSR met on September 24 for it's monthly meeting at Liberty Oriental Rugs in Norcross, GA.

{l to r: Kathy Lockwood, Jeanne Nolan, Jennifer Lybeer, Annette Burnett, Abby Reilly, Stacie Stamper; Rowan in front} We look tiny in front of that beautiful 9'x12' rug.
Our host, Stacie Stamper, gave us a guided tour of their warehouse, which is open only to the trade, not to the public. While they sell to retailers, they specialize in assisting designers select the perfect rugs for the rooms being designed. Their rugs can be purchased from many high end retailers around the Atlanta area however working with a professional that is obtaining their one on one guidance will ensure the homeowner is getting the perfect rug. This is great for redesign work.
Liberty Oriental Rugs specializes in handmade rugs from Pakistan. They operate their own manufacturing facility there ensuring high quality product, on trend with color and design, hiring the most talented weavers (with the best of the best coming from Afghanistan) and making sure there isn't any child labor.
As part of our tour we also met Rowan, the warehouse manager, designer, do-it-all man. He gave us the most amazing product knowledge:
The topic of rental options came up because, for home staging, the pricepoints are high, unless someone was staging a luxury home. The owner, Jim, said he'd be interested in pursuing rental options for Atlanta's home stagers! Great news!!!!
So, home stagers in Atlanta, contact Stacie {877.208.4970} to set up your account with Liberty Oriental Rugs. She's also a GREAT resource for vendor referrals.

Last night, Thrasher Park was swinging to the big band tunes of Atlanta 17. But you probably missed it... ;^ )
But you don't have to miss the next free concert!
That's right... free concert. Every other Friday in Thrasher Park, just across the tracks from Historic Downtown Norcross, the city is hosting a free concert in the bandshell.
Last night there were young and old, those that remembered Glenn Miller's In the Mood when it was the newest song on the radio, and those that think Nirvana is old school rock and roll. And everyone seemed to be having a great time while Atlanta 17 played.
