We’ve all heard of and, hopefully, practice shopping at local small businesses. It’s an amazing way to keep your dollars in your community. In fact, 67% of your hard-earned dollars stay in your local community! Now, that’s a fun fact we can easily support. Taking it to the next level is to ask for and purchase American Made products. Not only can you shop at your favorite small business, but buying products made in the USA supports America’s economy. You may be surprised to learn that there is a vast array of flooring that is American Made! Read on to explore our American Made floors … and more!
Carpet, The Leader In The Industry

Would you be surprised to learn that 75% of the world’s carpets and rugs are produced in Dalton, Georgia? The USA is the industry leader in carpet crafting! Crafting as in the innovations that they have excelled at for years: making carpet fibers stronger and easier to clean, specializing in pet-friendly and family-friendly brands with patterns, colors, and designs that envelope you in comfort and style.
If you’ve been following the design trends over the years, you may remember when carpet took a back seat to hardwood floors. That was about ten years ago when every home had hardwood floors throughout. Don’t get me wrong hardwood floors are still preferred, customers just discovered that they still love their carpets - especially in the bedrooms - which created a higher demand for custom area rugs.

Moving On Up
Classic. Timeless. Style.
We always say, “Start with the floors and work your way up.” In this case, we’re working our way up to the window coverings: beautiful, classic plantation shutters are a staple in the Made In The USA industry that never goes out of style. Many window coverings are “made” in America - as in assembled - but, as far as a true American Made window covering, plantation shutters are an authentic choice.
Whenever Possible, Choose Custom
Americana. Farm House Style. Beautifully appointed. Fabrics make the room. To see our collections, please click on the pic.
Although it may be difficult to source fabrics Made In The USA, it is possible to locate them by keeping with the organics. Some cottons and linens are designed and fabricated in America, along with quality drapery hardware.
If you’ve ever purchased those drapes that come in a bag, you probably regretted that wrinkled mess purchase! You soon come to realize that the additional dollars you had to spend on getting them to look halfway decent, was not worth the savings at all and you’re on to the drapery workroom to either have them fixed, or worse! you just toss them out! It’s one of those shoulda, coulda, woulda moments. Consider this:
The bonus of custom fabricated draperies, bedding, valances, shades, and upholstery gives you a one-of-a-kind beauty that is designed just for you. Custom treatments will outlast and outperform ready-made selections.
When you choose Custom Fabric Treatments, you are not only supporting the showroom that you choose to work with, but you are also keeping your investment local. Investing in the American craftsmanship of interior designers, seamstresses, upholsterers, and installers that are all part of your community, and that is American Made.
