I totally gutted and remodeled my home a few years ago- very neutral decor-taupes/whites/etc. I recently realized- it was just too 'Restoration.' I've started to find interesting pieces to add a more eclectic mix. This runner was a perfect addition. I wasn't sure when I ordered if it would integrate well with my other things- but even as I unrolled it- I knew I'd made a brilliant purchase.. I love it.
