Light/dark “painting”

Often kids accept that the household practices of their home are what happens in the other homes around them. I remember thinking how odd it was that none of the neighbors changed out their living room rugs so that there was a winter one and a summer one. Of course, many of them had wall-to-wall carpeting and that complicated my pattern observation. Turns out, I’ve yet to meet someone who changed out the rugs like my mom insisted we do. Was that a Victorian practice?
