Does it need to be blue? If not,

Pottery Barn's Moorish Tile Rug came to mind.

Z Gallerie's Cane Rug is on sale.

I'd peruse Overstock or Rug Studio.com.

I particularly like these sites because they have low shipping prices and good quality stuff. It will take some sifting to find what you want, but they have a great variety.

I have that exact rug in rust and I got it on overstock for under $300...but it's bigger than 5x9. I know it's a StainMaster - maybe you could call and see if they have another size? Otherwise, I would keep scouting overstock and smartbargains.com.

Try CB2.com. They have a lot of cool, modern, and bold rugs for the right price. Ikea can have some good ones too.
