EVENTSGood Life Daily: Haute Rugs

As a former Boston Home editor, I like to keep an eye on what's happening to the north ... if only to make sure Philadelphia is winning the competition in urban cool (in the "city that's not New York" category).
Score one point for us now that handwoven-rug designer Claudia Mills has left the Boston suburb of Jamaica Plain to relocate to our fair city. Mills, whose rugs have been mentioned in the Thursday House & Home section of the New York Times, is now weaving her colorful pieces — in 100 percent cotton or leather — in a West Philly studio. Mills's endlessly customizable runners (don't shy away from the bold colors!) come in perfect-for-a-hallway two-foot widths and start at $65 per square foot.
