Buying a rug is maybe the most adult thing you can do, right? Expensive, pretty fabric you step on to protect your floors AND tie together your room?? Well, this guy right here does a fabulous job of blending traditional and modern, while also being pretty dang kid and pet friendly. I should have bought it in a larger size- 5' square is too small for a round kitchen table and chairs. I think 6'7" square would have been perfect. I didn't have any issues with getting the corners to lay flat, I haven't had any concerns about the rug slipping or pilling.
