I guess the saying "the third time is the charm" really is true. I tried two other rugs before finding this one, I wish I would have found this first because it is absolutely perfect! There are lighter and darker blues in this rug, and they are true blues, not blue greens which I always seemed to find. Creams, greys and beiges surround the rug which only adds to the beauty of this rug. I am so happy with my purchase I'm going to see if I can get a runner to match.
