I had tried it at the inside of the front door (loved it there), and then thought...hmmmm...I need a good rug in front of the sink. Apparently, so did my friend Clem. What I look for in a kitchen rug 1. Grip I had a couple of beautiful classic rugs in the kitchen, but each of them lacked ... continue reading...
