Carol Piper Redux, and Randy Twaddle, Too

New Exclusive at Carol Piper Rugs

Carol Piper now has quite a bit of room to stretch out: The effervescent redhead has doubled the size of her lauded West Gray showroom, Carol Piper Rugs, to house her ever-expanding line of broadloom and custom carpets, as well as the kind of stunning, one-of-a-kind rugs that designers snap up. After an exhaustive yearlong renovation by architect Stephanie Eugster and interior designer Pam Pierce, Piper celebrates with a grand reopening Tuesday, November 16, from 6 to 9 pm. The evening honors artist Randy Twaddle, who this month launches a collection of seven rugs, as well as a handmade tapestry he’s designed exclusively for Carol Piper Rugs. It seems Twaddle, known for his large charcoal drawings, searched high and low for the perfect rug for his living room a couple of years back. Finally he approached the famed rug dealer about creating one of his very own. From one came seven, and a collaboration was born. 1809 W. Gray, 713.524.2442; carolpiperrugs.com.
