Rugs!

[agirlonthewall.livejournal.com]

I hate to have my first post in this community be a 'HELP!' post, but I'm desperate.

Since I'm out of school and incredibly bored this summer, I've decided to redecorate my room. Currently, it has awful, nubbly (and no, that's probably not a word) brownish carpet which is stained in various places from nail polish, Mod Podge, etc. I'm planning to tear it out and paint the floor white. However, I live in Montana, and it gets quite cold in the winter. I don't want to step out onto freezing floors when I wake up. So, I figured I'd put a rug in.

My conundrum is that I simply cannot find a rug that would work for my decorating theme. It's going to be very black and white and mod-ish. All the rugs I've found are either Granny-like and loop-hooked, or in awful yuppie colors like cornflower blue and brown. How could I go about making my own rug?

Thank you all so much.
