Another rug option

I think I might get this one from Home Depot. My camera doesn't really do the colors justice, but the blues and greens are perfect for my living room.

By the way, I was under the assumption that everyone working at Home Depot were experts on home improvement; I guess I'm a sucker for TV commercials. I expected to walk in there and have at least three clean-cut, orange apron-adorned helpers at my service with suggestions and advice, maybe some witty anecdotes on the latest trends in paint.

Instead it went like this:
Me: Excuse me, um I need some really thin wood, I forgot what it's called.
HD Guy: *Blank stare
Me: Um...I think it's plywood?
HD Guy: Oh. Yeah.
Me: So, how much is it, can you guys like cut the size I need?
HD Guy: *Slowly looks towards wood section then slowly back at me
Me: Any information you might have would be helpful.
HD Guy: I think they can cut the wood for you.
Me: ...thanks. *walks away

I'm surprised you got help at all...they usually ignore females altogether. DUH, dude! Geez.

I love that rug!

I'm more concerned with what the hell you need plywood for? Home Depot people are dolts, most of them are high school drop outs with drug felonies.

I adore the rug, it looks young and carefree like you and Marla.
