I was not prepared to love these rugs like I do.  I wanted something different in my kitchen dining room.  I got the runner for in front of the sink area, a 5x7 for under my table and a small are rug for the doorway from the hall into the kitchen.  It really brightens the place up.  I’ve ordered another small rug for in front of the stove.  The grayish green background is so nice.  Now to upholster the pillows on my kitchen chairs with a Gudrun Sjoden fabric.
