	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial statements which do not include all the information and footnotes required by such accounting principles for annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (generally consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements.  The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.  Operating results for the three-month period ended March 29, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2014 year.
	The Company reclassified certain amounts in 2013 to conform to the 2014 presentation including the reclassification of the Company's spare parts inventory from inventory to prepaid expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments in this ASU required an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity was required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity had to provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210)—Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". The ASU clarified that ordinary trade receivables and payables were not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11. ASU No. 2011-11 applied only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that were either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The effective date was the same as the effective date of ASU 2011-11. The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date". This ASU provided guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance was fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in GAAP. For public entities, the ASU was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The ASU shall be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations within the scope of this Subtopic that existed at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists". This ASU required an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward was not available at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit will be presented in the financial statements as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity". The ASU was issued to change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and to enhance the disclosures in this area. The ASU requires a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift and will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The ASU will be effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU will only impact the reporting and disclosures of future disposals, if any.

Acquisition	'
	ACQUISITION
	Effective March 19, 2014, the Company acquired all outstanding stock of Atlas Carpet Mills, Inc. ("Atlas") for total purchase price consideration of $18,869, including a cash payment of $16,543, accrued consideration relating to holdbacks for certain inventories and customer claims of $923 and accrued consideration for a working capital adjustment of $1,403. The Company financed the transaction with availability under its amended credit facility. The Company has incurred direct incremental costs of approximately $425 related to this acquisition. These incremental costs are classified in selling and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.
	Atlas is a California-based manufacturer and marketer of high-end commercial broadloom and tile carpeting serving soft floorcovering markets. Atlas has a strong reputation for exceptional design, quality and service. This brand will be sold through the existing Atlas sales force and will serve to broaden the Company's product offerings for commercial applications along with the Company's Masland Contract brand.
	The purchase price consideration was as follows:
	Cash paid	$	16,543
	Accrued consideration for holdbacks	923
	Accrued consideration for working capital adjustment	1,403
	Total purchase price consideration	$	18,869
	The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination which generally requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition did not represent a significant business combination. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation and determination of the fair value, or fair value less cost to sell as applicable, of certain assets and liabilities acquired primarily including the final valuation and assessment of (i) amortizable intangible assets acquired, (ii) property, plant and equipment acquired including assets held for sale, and (iii) net working capital acquired. The Company expects these final valuations and assessments will be completed by the end of fiscal 2014, which may result in additional adjustments to the values presented in the following table:
	Cash	$	2,466
	Receivables	4,304
	Inventories	11,511
	Other current assets	956
	Assets held for sale (1)	3,250
	Property, plant and equipment	6,929
	Finite intangible asset	3,300
	Other assets	623
	Accounts payable	(2,286		)
	Accrued expenses	(3,036		)
	Capital lease obligation	(404		)
	Fair value of net assets acquired	$	27,613
	Total consideration	18,869
	Gain on purchase of business	$	(8,744	)
	(1) As part of the acquisition of Atlas, the Company announced that the Atlas dyeing operations would be consolidated into the Company's Santa Ana, California operations. Substantially all of the dye house equipment will either be relocated or disposed of by end of the Company's third fiscal quarter. The land and building has been classified in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as assets held for sale at fair value less the costs to sell.
	The preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price resulting in a bargain purchase. The recorded gain is subject to adjustment as the Company will complete its valuation of certain acquired assets and liabilities assumed at acquisition as described above. The Company believes that several factors were significant in the recognition of a gain from the acquisition of Atlas. Atlas had higher cost of dyeing due to the lack of capacity utilization and therefore needed to lower costs by combining dye facilities with another operation. In addition, Atlas had a higher cost of modular carpet tile manufacturing due to outsourcing the tile manufacturing operations. Therefore, Atlas would have had to make significant investments in product and manufacturing equipment to be competitive in the modular carpet manufacturing business. Finally, the Seller had the desire to see Atlas operated as an independent brand and organization in the future. All of these objectives were achieved by combining Atlas with the Company in a mutually advantageous relationship.
	The Company determined that it is impracticable to provide comparative pro forma financial information related to the acquisition. Atlas, a private company, did not historically prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, significant estimates of amounts to be included in pro forma financial information would be required and subject to an inordinate level of subjectivity. Net sales related to Atlas included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the period from the date of acquisition through March 29, 2014 were $1,666, or 2.0% of the Company’s net sales, for the quarter ended March 29, 2014.

	On March 14, 2014, the Company amended its senior credit facility ("amended senior credit facility"), effective as of March 19, 2014 to permit the acquisition of Atlas Carpet Mills, Inc. by means of an over advance ("Tranche B Advance") of $5,438 maturing on June 30, 2014. The Tranche B Advance bears interest at a rate of 3.50% plus LIBOR, subject also to various availability percentages, limitations, covenants and conditions. In addition, the revolving portion of the facility ("Tranche A Advance") provides for a maximum of $150,000 of revolving credit, subject to borrowing base availability. The borrowing base is currently equal to specified percentages of the Company's eligible accounts receivable, inventories, fixed assets and real property less reserves established, from time to time, by the administrative agent under the facility. In addition, the term of the amended senior credit facility was extended from August 1, 2018 to March 14, 2019.
	At the Company's election, Tranche A Advances of the amended senior credit facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for 1, 2 or 3 month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin of either 1.50%, 1.75% or 2.00%, or (b) the higher of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, or a daily LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of either 0.50%, 0.75% or 1.00%. The applicable margin is determined based on availability under the amended senior credit facility with margins increasing as availability decreases. The Company continues to pay an unused line fee on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed utilization of the senior credit facility equal to 0.375% per annum.
	The amended senior credit facility continues to include certain affirmative and negative covenants that impose restrictions on the Company's financial and business operations. The amended senior credit facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 during any period that borrowing availability is less than $14,440 through May 31, 2014 and increases to $16,500 from and after June 1, 2014. The amendment also provided for a waiver of the measurement and application of the fixed charge coverage ratio that would otherwise be required by a reduction in excess availability from March 14, 2014 through and including April 13, 2014. As of March 29, 2014, the unused borrowing availability under the amended senior credit facility was $20,634.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Fair value is defined as the exchange value of an asset or a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The fair value guidance outlines a valuation framework and establishes a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and disclosures.  The hierarchy consists of three levels as follows:
	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date;
	Level 2 - Other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other than quoted prices for assets or liabilities and prices that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means; and
	Level 3 - Measurements using management's best estimate of fair value, where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
	The following table reflects the fair values of assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013:
		March 29,			December 28,			Fair Value Hierarchy Level
		2014			2013
	Assets:
	Rabbi trust (1)	$	14,317		$	14,242		Level 2
	Interest rate swaps (2)	92			556			Level 2
	Liabilities:
	Interest rate swaps (2)	$	1,203		$	813		Level 2
	Deferred compensation plan (3)	13,013			13,210			Level 1
	Contingent consideration (4)	2,738			2,751			Level 3
	-1	The Company maintains a rabbi trust that serves as an investment designed to offset its deferred compensation plan liability. The investment assets of the trust consist of life insurance policies for which the Company recognizes income or expense based upon changes in cash surrender value.
	-2	The fair value of the interest rate swaps was obtained from external sources. The interest rate swaps were valued using observable inputs (e.g., LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads). Valuations of interest rate swaps may fluctuate considerably from period-to-period due to volatility in underlying interest rates, which are driven by market conditions and the duration of the instrument. Credit adjustments could have a significant impact on the valuations due to changes in credit ratings of the Company or its counterparties.
	-3	Senior management and other highly compensated associates may defer a specified percentage of their compensation into a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Changes in the value of the deferred compensation under this plan is recognized each period based on the fair value of the underlying measurement funds.
	-4	As a result of the Colormaster and Crown Rug acquisitions in 2012 and the Robertex acquisition in 2013, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at fair value. These fair value measurements were based on calculations that utilize significant inputs not observable in the market including forecasted revenues, gross margins and discount rates and thus represent Level 3 measurements. These fair value measurements are directly impacted by the Company's estimates. Accordingly, if the estimates are higher or lower than the estimates within the fair value measurement, the Company would record additional charges or benefits, respectively, as appropriate.
	Changes in the fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ending March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 were as follows:
		March 29,			March 30,
		2014			2013
	Beginning balance	$	2,751		$	1,928
	Fair value adjustments	45			42
	Settlements	(58		)	(107		)
	Ending balance	$	2,738		$	1,863
	There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the three months ending March 29, 2014 or March 30, 2013. If any, the Company recognizes the transfers in or transfers out at the end of the reporting period.
	The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are summarized as follows:
		March 29,						December 28,
		2014						2013
		Carrying			Fair			Carrying		Fair
		Amount			Value			Amount		Value
	Financial assets:
	Cash and cash equivalents	$	355		$	355		$	255	$	255
	Notes receivable, including current portion	282			282			282		282
	Interest rate swaps	92			92			556		556
	Financial Liabilities:
	Long-term debt and capital leases, including current portion	132,607			129,539			107,988		101,752
	Interest rate swaps	1,203			1,203			813		813
	The fair values of the Company's long-term debt and capital leases were estimated using market rates the Company believes would be available for similar types of financial instruments and represent level 2 measurements.  The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and notes receivable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments.

Income Taxes	'
	INCOME TAXES
	The Company's effective income tax rate for the period ending March 29, 2014 is based upon the projected estimated annual income tax rate. The effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 was 37.0%, which approximates the Company's statutory tax rate. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2014 was affected by certain non-deductible expenses and a tax benefit for tax deductible goodwill. In addition, the Company realized a tax benefit for the use of certain state net operating losses that had a valuation allowance. On March 19, 2014, the Company acquired Atlas which was accounted for as a bargain purchase. The tax effect of the related bargain purchase gain is included in the Company's effective tax rate.
	The difference between the effective rates and the statutory rates for the three months ended March 30, 2013 was affected by the inclusion of a $202 non-taxable settlement gain associated with a company-owned insurance policy. In addition, $157 in federal tax credits were recognized as a result of tax legislation passed in January 2013.
	The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits were $291 at March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013.  There were no significant interest or penalties accrued as of March 29, 2014 or December 28, 2013.  Such benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate.

	Workers' Compensation
	Undiscounted reserves are maintained for the self-insured workers' compensation obligations. These reserves are administered by a third-party workers' compensation service provider under the supervision of Company personnel. Such reserves are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Pre-tax cost incurred for workers' compensation as a component of discontinued operations primarily represents a change in estimate for each period from unanticipated medical costs associated with the Company's obligations.
	Environmental Remediation
	Reserves for environmental remediation obligations are established on an undiscounted basis. The Company has ongoing obligations at five previously owned sites that were associated with its discontinued textile businesses. Each of these sites contains relatively low levels of ground or ground water contaminants. Each site has a Corrective Action Plan ("CAP") with the applicable authoritative state regulatory body responsible for oversight for environmental compliance and the Company contracts with third party qualified environmental specialists for related remediation, monitoring and reporting for each location. The CAP for four of these sites involves natural attenuation (degradation of the contaminants through naturally occurring events) over periods currently estimated at 10 to 20 years and the CAP on the remaining site involves a pump and treat remediation process, currently estimated to remediate over a period of 25 years. Additionally, the Company has an environmental liability related to the property of a facility and related business that was sold in 2004. The CAP, involving an oxidation-based remediation plan, was approved in 2010 and is currently estimated to remediate over a 7 year period beginning in 2010. The Company has an accrual for environmental remediation obligations of $1,824 and $1,830 as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. The liability established represents the Company's best estimate of possible loss and is the reasonable amount to which there is any meaningful degree of certainty given the periods of estimated remediation and the dollars applicable to such remediation for those periods. The actual timeline to remediate, and thus, the ultimate cost to complete such remediation through these remediation efforts, may differ significantly from our estimates. Pre-tax cost for environmental remediation obligations classified as discontinued operations were primarily a result of specific events requiring action and additional expense in each period.

		March 29,			December 28,			Fair Value Hierarchy Level

	Contingent consideration (4)	2,738			2,751			Level 3
	-1	The Company maintains a rabbi trust that serves as an investment designed to offset its deferred compensation plan liability. The investment assets of the trust consist of life insurance policies for which the Company recognizes income or expense based upon changes in cash surrender value.
	-2	The fair value of the interest rate swaps was obtained from external sources. The interest rate swaps were valued using observable inputs (e.g., LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads). Valuations of interest rate swaps may fluctuate considerably from period-to-period due to volatility in underlying interest rates, which are driven by market conditions and the duration of the instrument. Credit adjustments could have a significant impact on the valuations due to changes in credit ratings of the Company or its counterparties.
	-3	Senior management and other highly compensated associates may defer a specified percentage of their compensation into a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Changes in the value of the deferred compensation under this plan is recognized each period based on the fair value of the underlying measurement funds.
	-4	As a result of the Colormaster and Crown Rug acquisitions in 2012 and the Robertex acquisition in 2013, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at fair value. These fair value measurements were based on calculations that utilize significant inputs not observable in the market including forecasted revenues, gross margins and discount rates and thus represent Level 3 measurements. These fair value measurements are directly impacted by the Company's estimates. Accordingly, if the estimates are higher or lower than the estimates within the fair value measurement, the Company would record additional charges or benefits, respectively, as appropriate.

Contingent consideration	$2,738	[4]	$2,751	[4]
[1]	Senior management and other highly compensated associates may defer a specified percentage of their compensation into a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Changes in the value of the deferred compensation under this plan is recognized each period based on the fair value of the underlying measurement funds.
[2]	The Company maintains a rabbi trust that serves as an investment designed to offset its deferred compensation plan liability. The investment assets of the trust consist of life insurance policies for which the Company recognizes income or expense based upon changes in cash surrender value.
[3]	The fair value of the interest rate swaps was obtained from external sources. The interest rate swaps were valued using observable inputs (e.g., LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads). Valuations of interest rate swaps may fluctuate considerably from period-to-period due to volatility in underlying interest rates, which are driven by market conditions and the duration of the instrument. Credit adjustments could have a significant impact on the valuations due to changes in credit ratings of the Company or its counterparties.
[4]	As a result of the Colormaster and Crown Rug acquisitions in 2012 and the Robertex acquisition in 2013, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at fair value. These fair value measurements were based on calculations that utilize significant inputs not observable in the market including forecasted revenues, gross margins and discount rates and thus represent Level 3 measurements. These fair value measurements are directly impacted by the Company's estimates. Accordingly, if the estimates are higher or lower than the estimates within the fair value measurement, the Company would record additional charges or benefits, respectively, as appropriate.
