27 Ground & Madeline Weinrib Have Arrived!

I was thrilled (and inspired) by meeting Gina Christenson of 27Ground several weeks ago. Recently published in the July issue of House Beautiful for her custom sisal designs, I was honored to be approached as one to carry her beautiful rugs in North Carolina. Her talent, timing, and sense of style are spoken loud and clear through the richness of her products. Come and see for yourself. You, too, will be impressed, I am sure.

And to just make you (AND ME!) all the more excited, drum roll please.... Cue the trumpets... Madeline Weinrib fabrics have arrived! Oh bliss, oh joy!In lively, unique colors and rich and bold patterns, these fabrics add a depth and delight to any room. Whether it be in the form of the simplest of pillows to the more dramatic draperies, these fabrics can make a room. Come and get a glimpse of the glamour!

About Eatman's Carpets and Interiors

Eatman's Carpets and Interiors is my family's business. My grandfather, Bill Eatman, opened its doors in 1957 in Downtown Raleigh as a design studio/upholstery workroom selling high end fabrics, wool carpeting, and wallpaper. My father, Woody Eatman, the current president, followed in his father's footsteps joining the family business after school. Years later, with her Design degree in hand, my mother was hired as a designer by Eatman's. My Dad and my Mom fell in love and married. Over time, Eatman's became a innovator in the world of flooring creating computer systems specifically for the industry as well as adding to the business a supply and installation divisions. Fast-forwarding through my arrival and my sister's, the business is now a hybrid of the past and the present. We continue to be a leading supplier of carpets residentially and commercially, and we continue to expand into the world of interior design with new fabric, furniture and lighting lines. But more than all that, it is where our family hangs its hat. It is, in every sense of the word, a labor of great love.
