I've had a hand hooked rug for years and with a little spot cleaning every now and then it has remained beautiful.  That inspired me to buy this hand hooked rug and it is just what I needed for the inside of my closet area as I dress.  My husband, who never notices anything, said how much he liked it under his bare feet.  I have terracota tile floors and it looks so good in my Spanish style home.  It stays put and I was so in love I ordered another one.
