Help!

I need some design help. I can't decide on a rug for the nursery. For some reason, I have the hardest time picking out rugs. I guess I just have an idea in my head and am very picky until I find it. The rug that I really want isn't sold anymore :( So, I've found several others that will work. They all change the design plan just a bit though. Naturally, I'm having a difficult time deciding which one is the best fit for my vision for the room. Here is a good feel for what I want the room to look like:

Nursery Design Board
1. Wall mural 2. Artwork 3. Letter collage(this will be the photography project) 4. Crib 5. Dresser 6. Original rug that is no longer sold 7. Rocker/recliner 8. Accessory 9. Accessory



I really like the circular pattern and that it is asymmetrical. It adds some soft lines to all the hard lines of the furniture and letters. I also like the blue colors. I'm worried that the brown will be too different from the espresso colors of the furniture.



I really like the how subtle this rug is. It's also a fun pattern. I think it lends to the calm feel that I want, but I'm torn because I want the rug to be the pop of color.



I really like the colors in this rug. The spa blue would be an accent color around the rest of the room. This rug gives the rest of a room a modern feel.



This rug also gives the room a more modern feel. I like the colors and pattern, but is it too feminine? It would work better if we are having a girl.



This rug is really fun. I'm not sure about the pink and red splashes though.

So, please help! Tell me what you think.

I'm voting for the (1) Zebra and the (2) brown/white one (I don't think it's too feminine). Hope this helps!

I like the 2nd and 3rd choices (3rd choice the best)

I like the spiral one. I think it goes well with your furniture choices.

I like the 3rd one the best. I think the movement from the wavy line will bring interest to the room. I love the collage lettering idea for the wall. That reminds me of artist, Jasper Johns. :o).
