Finally Bit the Bullet.

I committed to a rug. The Power Nap samples were nice, but the lagoon color is a little too teal and the blues really run more towards cobalt and indigo. I just couldn't see it working as a solid colored rug with everything else in the room. I wasn't feeling the greys either. The Working Class samples were nice colorwise, but the texture was terrible (like a plastic felt). Great for a garage but not for a living space, despite what the catalog photos would like you to believe.

So I was playing around with the FLOR builder, and found something my husband and I both liked:
Feelin' Groovy in Lagoon, Cobalt, Blue Jay, Tidal, Sky, and Fog. It was more expensive than I really wanted, but I had to make a decision. Did I want to spend money on something I'd be only partially happy with, or spend a little more and not have to replace it all later on with something that fit better? I chose the latter. The color selection is awesome (82!) for this line of FLOR tiles, and the different blues should look really cool. And the best part is that it should really cut down on the cacophony of 12 little paws running back and forth on the laminate. I will of course post pictures of the real thing once it comes in.
