Pattern Play

I have posted this picture before...I think... but I came back across it while going through pictures in my inspiration file. Usually this would not be my type of runner, too busy and patchy (word?) but I love it in this setting.

The pattern feels inviting and provides a welcome point of interest in all the gray (not that I would complain about a heavy dose of gray). I think it would work just as well in an all white setting as well.
