Crazy for Chevron

So I've been thinking about buying a chevron indoor/outdoor rug from Ballard Designs for under my kitchen table. Why an outdoor rug, you say? Well because I have three furbabies and accidents happen and it will hopefully make it ten times easier to clean {since they've now ruined 2 beautiful sisal rugs I had under there before}. Not to mention this rug is priced amazingly! Now here's my dilemma. I'm really loving the chevron pattern lately, but I'm so afraid the chevron look will fizzle out soon and I'll get sick of looking at it. Any suggestions? I personally love this look, but I don't know, I can be so indecisive sometimes! Take a look at the rug in the below picture.


You like? Should I do it? What color? I'm trying to decide between the grey and the black one since my main color in the kitchen is kiwi green, the appliances are stainless steel and black, and the wall color is that pretty gem from Benjamin Moore that you can see below. I am, however, at this point leaning more towards the black because I think it will stand out more and I don't know if the grey of the rug is the right color.

In the spirit of my chevron dilemma I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite pictures from around the web, where people have incorporated chevron into their decor.
















What do you think? All opinions welcome! These pictures make it so tough not to say, 'Let's do this!'

Courtney, those pictures are so great! I am really loving chevron lately. And PS, I went and purchased the rug right after I read my post over for the 3rd time. Haha! Are you guilty of doing this?
