In almost every room of my house I see my mother's creativity...by her hand, or by the inspiration Ive gotten from seeing her own home...or maybe it is deeply running through my veins, and its my own creativity! I think all three apply! It was funny because about a year ago, she had walked into my apartment and was in awe of how I had my apartment decorated. I took that as a compliment! Now, I dont now about you, but my mother has this innate ability to turn a shack into a home that could appear in a Phoenix Home and Garden spread...which of course that magazine is the very reason Im writing this blog today. The November issue has a simple photo of an entry way as seen here...and I saw the rug that I have been searching for and I was like, I WANT THAT RUG!!! Well guess what...thats not a rug you can buy at Target...oh no, its an antique rug...doesnt even list a place to buy one similar to it, or how much it costs...just "antique rug." Grrrr...Im thinking how great that very rug would look in my small little entry way on my wood floors with my touches of Auburn, Sienna and Burgundy that are incorporated in the pillows, wine canisters, blankets and mirrors. That rug would go perfectly...sniff sniff... But now I find myself thumbing through PHG and saying I want that, I want this...and I have a Target income, not a PHG income...what to do, what to do. So I want to find some quaint little antique shops, peruse the shops in Scottsdale and Cave Creek to find a rug like this one...but I think Im going to be out of luck...but what I love most is how I feel connected to the talents of my mom when I see something unique and know that we would love the same thing!
