My mom gave us the rugs when we first moved into our house. I love them because they've been walked on by generations. They're at least 100 years old and absolutely beautiful. My aunt and I talked about picturing Nana with a straw broom (lovingly) beating them...the rugs, I mean. : )
One of the rugs has been in our entry way since day one. I love how the reds work so well with the door and it also has green in it which is EVERYWHERE else. Notice Nickerbean 1's circle garland that she has lovingly displayed on our door. Crafty kid.
I recently moved the other rug in to the kitchen. Its naturally distressed and beautiful. The khaki color in our lower cabinets coordinates perfectly with the colors in the rug. It's also a perfect fit for the space.

I think they're great for making a statement in an otherwise neutral space. Thank you Nana for having great taste, taking good care of the rugs and most importantly for the wisdom and sweetness you passed down to your granddaughters.
So, what about you? Do you decorate with any important family heirlooms? If so, what's your favorite piece?

I love everything antique and I have quite a few of my grandmother's things. I got my love of antiques from Ga. I did not get her rugs though. I love the look of area rugs and my home is filled with them. I just bought a new one for my parlor in the antique style. It is gorgeous. The right area rug can transform a room. Your kitchen looks great with your grandmothers' rug. The floor is fabulous too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading AnnMarie! I'm glad we share a love of area rugs ; ).. Have a great day.
DeleteAntique rugs add so much soul and hearth to spaces. Here is another great source for antique and vintage rugs: http://www.dorisleslieblau.com/antique-rugs
