I'm sorry - I just saw your comment/question. I actually used a mix of a few different floorings to get the look I wanted. I just made sure they were all 2mm thick. The main two I used are MSI in Hickory Bluff, that I got from Amazon. The blues and greys are Deco Products in the color "Swing" that I ordered from Home Depot (can only order online, they don't sell in the store at all). Some of the red and whites and some of the odder grained wood tone ones are ones I bought from Lowe's that you could buy in store by the plank instead of having to buy a whole box. I think I bought 2 planks each of the 4 colors they had available at my Lowe's.

Being only 2mm thick, I was able to use a guillotine style paper cutter to cut all the planks down to the sizes I wanted to give it that mixed look. I cut them into 2", 1.5" and 1" wide planks. Lengths vary. Make sure to save all the pieces you cut off to customize length - they make great filler pieces to give a random look.

It's all glued down with Liquid Nails Heavy Duty and rolled with a handheld laminate roller. Make sure you scuff up the surface to be glued onto with about a 60/80 grit sandpaper to give it a good gripping surface. Then I filled in all seams and edges with black acrylic caulk acting like a "grout".
