Our New Rug From Santa Fe


The Moldovan kilim rug that we bought in Santa Fe finally arrived!
It's such a beautiful rug. All handmade, using vegetable dyes; at least 80 years old.

We bought it for the living room in Asti, thinking it would tie in nicely with the leather chairs.

Here is a close-up of the weave and colors.

I love it! I'm just not sure if it's too dark.

Here is the "before" photo of the living room with the hooked rug that I "borrowed" from BFF Maureen's attic! I like the lighter color, but also like the richness of the kilim.
Anyone have an opinion?
