Another rug solution. Nesting is all about warmth and color, so finding Fedora Design this week was a perfect fit. We don't know much about the elusive designer behind Fedora, Federica Tondato, as her web site is beautiful, cool and short on details. All the better.

She sells hand-embroidered, "chainstich" wool rugs in every rich color you can imagine. Some patterns look traditional, some 60's funky, and one looks like a view of Paris from a satellite far over head. Runners as well as area sizes are available, as well as custom orders. Prices run from $75 - $95 per square foot, which would be @ $6,800 for an 8x10. Not for faint of heart.

Delivery time is 4 months and your nest is done. (Thanks, Amy!) MGR

I disagree about the website. The Flash is corny, there is no way to link to specific rugs, and the type is amateur. I think these amazing rugs deserve a better display case. I love the Aereo and City.

So what does one of these rugs cost? Should I take up weaving instead of waiting four months? These are serious questions from a serious do-it-yourselfer. And I do think they are beautiful...

i agree that the website is beautiful, cool and short on details. the problem is, i typically find details (i.e., price) to be somewhat helpful when it comes to rug shopping.

i don't need to know federica's life story - just her price list.
