We thought this palette's popularity might be winding down, but here are two re-renderings by wool rug designers in ice blue and brown:

Karastan has reissued its 2007 "Plum Blossom" pattern in mocha and robin's egg blue, while Emma Gardner Design has reworked Gardner's "Spray" design in chocolate and blue, too. Several standard Karastan sizes (about $499 for a 5- by 8-foot rectangle); Gardner's custom and standard sizes are about $150 per square foot. See stores at www.karastan.com; order direct at sales@emmagardner design.com or toll-free at 1- 877-377-3144.
