Good Questions: Identify This Patterned Rug?

I was so smitten with the DIY miniblind to roman shade idea by LittleGreenNotebook (BTW, thanks AT for posting that!) that I had to go the original post to get the skinny. She posted some beautiful inspiration shots and the area rug in this photo jumped off the screen to me. Can anyone identify this rug or something similar? This is FABULOUS. Thanks a million and ten, creative*type

The caption, or url for the jpg says "girls room by kohler"

So I found this:
http://design-59.blogspot.com/2008/10/kohler.html

And followed the link to Kohler, and looked through the Idea Home gallery and on my second guess found this:

(Atlanta Family Townhome)
http://www.us.kohler.com/idea_homes/ideahomes.jsp?home=traditional&action=photoGallery

Which gives a product list which specified this:

Rug: Rugs by Robinson (American Hook)

I did not find that rug on their website! That's as far as I got. Sorry!

KTG that is a HUGE help!!! Jen at The Little Green Notebook was kind enough to tell me that it can from a Kohler photo but I couldn't figure out where to find the sources. That's amazing!

Now, at least, I know who the maker is and I can ask them directly.

Also, as it may no longer be available since not on their website, if anyone knows of something similar I would love that.

Thanks a million!

That routes back to the Rugs by Robsinson website, their source for that item. It was apparently from a showhouse that was also featured in Traditional Home last year, then posted to the Kohler website (sponsors or contributed goods?) as well. I have looked and looked, and can't find another distributor for that particular rug!

I bet it's expensive if still available. I'm better at drilling down through the websites than I am at sourcing an alternative with a similar design and color pattern. It's a nice rug!
