I have put this series of short iphone videos together to help you when choosing your next rug. My goal in this video series is to educate you on all of the custom capabilities of Creative Accents Rugs. Enjoy this first video on how to color your rug.
Great show! I wanted to thank all the folks at American Leather and Matt and Michelle at Pepper Berry for making the spring High Point Market such a great show. It was about time because as we all know things have been dismal at best. Please enjoy the short video and thanks for checking out the site. Don’t forget to ask us about the color combination of our hot metallic shag, it’s still selling!
It’s been an exciting tread into 2010. With the help of some amazing talent in the design community, we brought new energy to our product line. We met our friends at Pepperberry in New York for the Architectural Digest Home Design Show. We’re working on new colors, exploring new possibilities in silk, and shooting new videos at some of our favorite showrooms in Los Angeles. Ahead of us, we’ve got the High Point Show, and we’re really looking forward to it. Outfitting both American Leather and Pepperberry’s showroom floors, Creative Accents will showcase selections from both our contemporary and shag lines. Best of all, Rick Lee, a designer and major contributor to our contemporary line, will be there on behalf of both American Leather and Creative Accents. It’ll be great showing along side him. So it’s going to be a good show, and if you have a plane ticket to spare and nowhere to be on April 17th-22nd, come out to High Point in North Carolina. We’ll be at #IH501, and we’d really love to see you there.
Take it easy,

Well Spring is on its way, and we’re excited to bring a piece of it to you ahead of schedule. Seven new designs, narrowed down from a daunting 40, are ready to move out. It’s rewarding to watch the creative process happen ground up: from designers’ sketches and color stories, to manufacturing and shooting in a loft or showroom. These rugs are a great addition to our line, because collectively, they cast organic forms typical to traditional styles in a contemporary light. Hybrids, if you will. So we have high hopes for these seven, and are way excited to bring our customers a fresh bit of news every month of the year. Keep checking in: we’ll keep you informed.
Take it easy,
Jake
For those of you that haven’t heard, or haven’t seen all the new rugs for that matter, Creative Accents has developed a good working relationship with Rick Lee Design within the last year or so. Despite the design work that his studio does for us, as well as multiple shows all over the world, and a long list of clients with new design needs every day, the boys at Rick Lee Design Studio were able to publish a very nice new website.
We were fortunate enough to have been asked to contribute, so we did. Creative Accents helped out with some very geeky coding work, and although it took us a little longer than we initially had hoped, the site came out great.
Rick and his team, as usual, have produced a great looking product that’s functional to boot. So go check it out.

Well, the results are in! September’s Furniture Market was a slow show, but for us, it was a good show. I met a few of you that I’d spoken to many times over the phone, and It’s nice to finally connect voices with faces. We were also introduced to a few new design oriented companies, and we really like what we saw. Although direct sales were less than usual from LV, good networking connections were made that I’m sure will pay off in the long haul. Over all, what more can you expect with an economy like ours?
On a more serious note, if you’re ever in Las Vegas and get a hankering for Sushi (even though you’ll be 320 miles from the nearest ocean), fresh and tasty raw fish can be found at Shibuya.
Here’s a little video of the Market. Enjoy.
I Love New York. It is truly a magical city. Our Creative Accents family was truly honored to be selected to show at MAD – Museum of Arts and Design. My wife Katie and I attended the event that took place on August 17. We were selected because of our relationship to rick lee and the new fall collection that he designed for Creative Accents. The rug that was selected was the papillion that was featured in colors - sunflower,steel,orange and pacific. This was a press event set up by the Las Vegas Furniture Market as a forerunner to the September market. Some of the press that attended were Instyle, The New York Times, Metropolitan Home, House Beautiful, Luxe Interiors + Design, Elle Decor, Rachael Ray, Veranda and O Magazine.
Rick’s Fall collection will be featured next at the High Point Market in the Directional/Carter showroom 525 N Wrenn St. High Point NC 27262.
If you plan on attending NY, I have a few suggestions. The Empire Hotel was very reasonable and was one block from Central park and walking distance to MAD. The best coffee in New York that I have found is a little Swedish espresso bar called Fika, also close to central park. Lastly, my wife got a great haircut at Cutler in Midtown East. If you’re going check them out.
Later, Ryan
