By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, December 23, 2007

Dalton, Ga. — Food Network star Paula Deen will introduce a licensed line of rugs from Kaleen Rugs at the Atlanta rug market.

Hailed as the Queen of Southern Cooking, Deen will greet buyers at a cocktail party in Kaleen's AmericasMart showroom, space 3-C-9, at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 17.

Joe Barkley, executive vice president of the rug maker and importer, said three Paula Deen collections will debut:

Paula's Porch & Home, a machine-made, indoor-outdoor polypropylene collection made in China.
Paula Deen's Comfort, a machine-made, space-dyed polypropylene collection.
Paula Deen's Signature, a hand-tufted collection made in India.

"The licensing agreement with Paula Deen is a major breakthrough for Kaleen, and the two machine-made collections mark our entry into the machine-made category," said Barkley.

Deen hosts the Food Network's "Paula's Home Cooking" show and has written a number of cookbooks and has appeared on talk shows.
