The Striped Rug

Anyone who has bought an area rug knows they're not cheap, so you want to make sure you pick out the right one when you finally decide. So I thought I had decided. The smaller version I bought seemed to match the room, but now I'm not so sure. This rug just does not seem to have as much flare as I was looking for. Of course, after lugging this home from Target I have no plans to return it. I guess I'll just have to learn to like it!
