Tandus Flooring hosted the event and the purpose was to get feedback directly from the specifiers. We all had a blast pouring over the potential designs. Although our job was fun, the interior designers did not have it easy &#8211; after viewing dozens of options, they had to narrow the final selection to 5. I am proud to say that my newest carpet designs made the cut. I&#8217;m now working on coloring these today. Coming up with enough good colorways for a single carpet design can take more time than creating the pattern!<\/p>\n<p>When we weren&#8217;t deliberating and selecting new patterns, Tandus organized tours of two wineries. What a treat! Here are some photos of the wineries, and the beautiful land surrounding them. Hey&#8230; and the wine was great too. I ordered a case of Chardonnay from Nicholson Ranch in Sonoma. I couldn&#8217;t resist!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.jhanebarnes.com\/blog4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Image-13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-967\" title=\"Image 13\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.jhanebarnes.com\/blog4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Image-13-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jhanebarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Image-13-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.jhanebarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Image-13-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.jhanebarnes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Image-13.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a> This photo is from the Sebastiani Vineyard.
