While I know this is an exciting topic for many, this is just too much pressure for me. I am part of a decision that will impact all of our campus visitors. We want the reception/presentation rooms to feel warm and welcoming, while emulating Penn State pride.
Some people want the warm tones, others want the Penn State blue. I don't even know what my opinion is because I'm stressed over what an important choice this is.
The new building is going to be the first place our prospective students see and the place we welcome alumni back. This building should be remarkable and impressive.
Below are some photos I took of the samples:
To be honest, with so many choices, I don't know how people can build/decorate their own house. It's overwhelming.
This carpet has subtle paw prints. WMF is really leaning towards a warmer (more inviting) color pallet.
Although, some of us still want the Penn State blue carpet. (P.S. the tile will be for the bathrooms.)
One thing all of use could agree upon was the Cherry wood ceiling. It will be a magnificent two-story room with white pillars running up to the ceiling and becoming beams across the ceiling divided by the wood. The room will serve many purposes depending on the time of day and which office is using it, but it will have a stone fireplace in the middle that separates it in two spaces. It will be magnificent!Does anyone have any opinions on the color pallette? Should we go with warmer tones or Penn State blue? What do you think about the "paw print" carpet?

why yes i have an opinion.
i'm not a HUGE fan of that orangey carpet. maybe it looks different in person. i am, however, a fan of the multicolored carpet in the last picture. plus, it has blue in it. i think you can go warmer but add some penn state blues to the fabrics and accent walls so you can keep it warm [with base colors in the tans, and i like that orangey of course...and reds...] but still punch in the PSU Blue that everyone loves so much! there are so many options, it's ridiculous.
ps: we are looking to use that arc-com vinyl in one of the jobs we're working on right now!! haha :)
actually, i think that carpet is the same, just the flash or something made it look orangey-er??
aww i love the subtle paw prints! i think it definitely needs to have some penn state blue in it somewhere so it can tie to other penn state stuff around. love the cherry ceiling with the white pillars! can't wait to see the end product! tour for staci!
Kc,
I was looking for paw print carpet for my pe store and I came across your blog. Can you tell me who manufactures the pawe print carpet or maybe it's name. I think it would work perfectly in my store.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,

If I were to choose a color for the carpet, I would go for Penn State blue. The first thing freshmen should see is Penn State pride, right? And blue is more refreshing to the eyes than warm colors.
