Growing up, the carved wool rug in our family room was one of my decor favorites. It had a floral motif in pastel colors and each petal bloomed across the floor in a meandering design.
My fingers often traced their sinuous outlines, forgetting time and place. It mesmerized me. And it’s this feeling of wonder and awe that I aspire to create for my clients and their homes.
