It took me a while, but I have finally found perfect rug! I was looking for a rug for my kitchen. I wasn't sure if I wanted one area rug or several throw rugs. I didn't want to buy a rug or rugs before I knew exactly what I wanted. I borrowed a number of rugs from family friends. I placed them in a variety of locations. I picked the type of rug, the color, and the location where I would place it. Then I started shopping for a rug that met all of the specifications.
