Exactly! Just what I needed at my kitchen sink for the holidays. It goes so well with the 2 moose pillows  on the couch. Since the area from living to kitchen is completely open, I need to keep in mind items that will go well together. This rug seems sturdy and able to be washed in machine- a plus! I don't want to spot clean a rug!  I'm loving shopping at Wayfair, online is great!
