Rugalicious

I've been looking for a rug for our living area. It needs something to tie it all together and I'm tired on walking on dirty floors. Obviously the cheaper thing would be to sweep the floor more, but that wouldn't give us a cute decorated room. I thought about a natural sisal or jute rug but everything looked the same and I'm worried it might be scratchy underfoot. Then I found this:

I love it. It would tie in our goldy/orange curtains and a colorful African pastel with our neutral couch and the blue/beige fabric I bought to cover a chair. It's fun and makes the livingroom both contemporary and casual. Of course Rick hates it. Luckily, he says he doesn't really care what I do with the house. What do you think?
