The hand hooked rugs, furniture, and lifestyle of artist Claire Murray
   
  
Through her hand hooked rugs and home accessories, Claire Murray invites you to escape to the world of nature. Explore the beauty of Nantucket, Cape Cod and the Islands through Claire's unique vision; a world where sunny coastal images, weathered cottages and cobblestone streets are lined with hydrangea and picket fences.

Next, travel to a mountain lodge with Claire's new Lodge Collection where the serenity of a mountain lake and the soft rustling of a gentle breeze is heard over the distant voice of loons.

Next, travel to the Chesapeake Bay, feast on Blue Crabs and take in the local flavor with images of Skipjack lighthouse, seashells and starfish illustrated in Claire's unique color palette. Claire's hand hooked rugs and home accessories portray life by the sea and transform your home into a coastal retreat. All hand made of 100% wool, these area rugs will become family heirlooms for generations to come. Capturing the fine art of nature is Claire's passion. Her designs depict seaside living, coastal gardens, wildlife and country cottage styles. In the early days she enjoyed teaching friends and customers the art of needlecraft. Today so many of them keep the tradition alive and still get together to hook rugs, cross-stitch and needlepoint pillows with coastal and flower motifs. Some of her stores still offer these classes. For a schedule please contact the West Barnstable store at 1-508-375-0331. The art of gracious living is the central theme of the Claire Murray lifestyle. Designed to coordinate with her lovely hand hooked rugs; find hand painted dinnerware, chair pads and even washable mats for those locations that need machine washables. Responding to popular request Claire had brought back her unique quilts and throws. The lovely mermaid motif is now available in Claire's Mermaid Queen quilts in two color ways along with her vintage cottage motif available in yellow and blue. See Claire's all new spa collection .
