I've had a difficult time decorating a dining room that has some country style furniture and some inherited, Louis XIV pieces.  The room is also very dark with extremely limited sun light.  This rug pulls all the pieces together and is a nice light addition to the room.  For the first time, I excited about the look of the room.  The quality is quite good making it a great value.  It cleans up very well but the fact that it is multicolored really helps to hide any residual marks.
