In the last ten years brands of carpet have probably changed the names of certain color selections and renamed them. I am trying to locate two carpet selections based on color names alone. In the first half of the nineties a carpet store in Kettering Ohio -Wholesale Carpet on Shroyer Blvd. run by the Frost family was the preferred location for carpet by a family member who was in the construction business. The store went out of business. I had a business card from the business and contacted the salesman who referred me to their old secretary's new carpet business. I was disappointed wih the carpet selection she had and with her knowledge of the old product lines they used to carry. There is a senior member of the Frost family "Pappy" about 80 years old who probably owned the first store. Before I find a way across town (I don't drive) I would like to know what specifically I am searching for that could possibly be available today. So, I need to know more about what I was interested in buying before. Let me describe the first carpet as reasonably priced possibly 100% nylon a plush (not loop or sculptured)the color name was "Rasberry Fizz" the color was a faded red shade that due to the fiber nylon the red was a blended appearance not a solid strong color but definitely one color of yarn was used in the whole carpet. The shade of red was neither too violet like a "mauve "or too orange like a "brick" nor was it too soft like a pink. I do not know the manufacturrer's name or the names often carried by the store I shopped and no more information was gotten on this topic.The carpet was displayed in the traditional carpet style of 12 to 20 color selections to the specific carpet in pieces stacked on a display. These were not viewed as rolls of carpet remnant. The second selection was viewed in the office area of the carpet business in a phone book sized fold out sample book because he type of carpet was a commercial grade of carpet. It was more dense and the fiber colors were mixed. More than one color selection was viewed in the sample book. I think the carpet was named "International" or " Internacional ". It also had the plush top (not a berber or shag or level loop) pile. The colors in this carpet swirled in an unregimented way. The background or majority of the carpet was a off white-beige color and a berry color and a teal color ; perhaps greys and other blended tones gave a sophisticated appearance. Could I please have some help in researching these old carpet selections? Is there any of these carpets still being produced or available for sale? |
