It's a rug love story, Randy & Val Hyde meet while working for Atiyeh Brothers in the early 1990s. Both developed a love for woven textiles, tribal rugs, Persian carpets, and the cultures and artistry that creates them. In 1996 Randy accepted a position with tribal rug expert and author James Opie at James Opie Oriental Rugs, working in the retail, cleaning, and wholesale importation of rugs.

In 1999 Randy founded Renaissance Rug Cleaning Inc. Since its creation Renaissance has been a specialty workshop devoted to the cleaning & restoration of oriental rugs and area carpets. Today, Renaissance is one of a small number of oriental rug-specific facilities that specialize in rug cleaning in the country and the only one in Oregon and SW Washington. Val is a weaver and when she's not busy repairing rugs she can often be found felting and weaving blankets, scarfs, and all manner of things at home. Randy has an interest in spinning weaving and natural dyes that are a good complement for Valerie's weaving projects.

From 2016 -18 Randy served as the president of ARCS (Association of Rug Care Specialists), a rug cleaning trade association dedicated to science, training, integrity, and professionalism in the oriental and area rug cleaning trade. Randy has also traveled to Turkey and Iran visiting rug weaving and restoration facilities.

Recently, in 2020-2021 Randy has been working in Afghanistan consulting with rug producers to improve rug weaving Via a US Aid Program and hopefully a better life for the people of Afghanistan. Randy was in Kabul when the Taliban takeover.
