I bought the 4'x4' pastoral round rug to go under my kitchen table.  Much softer for my feet than plank flooring.  It was on sale and I love it. I live out in the country and the theme is appropriate.  Then I saw that they had the runner on sale and instead of buying the same color I decided to contrast it with the black background.  They are close enough in location that they compliment each other.  I love the runner as well and it was on sale!  So am very happy.
