Cowhide Rugs: Not Just for the Country

Maybe it is still that little bit of Texas I can't get out of my blood but lately I've been loving anything and everything cowhide.  Since the first half of the 20th century, cowhide rugs have been a classic element for any chic home.  With the variety of colors and finishes available on the market,  most everyone can find a hide to fit their style.

Neutrals:




Metallic Silver:



Metallic Gold:




I think hair-on-hide rugs are the perfect solution when you have a small space or a large beautiful solid surface floor which need a little warming up but you don't want to cover too much real estate.  Use them in a grand master bath, at the corner of a king size bed, or to ground a little seating vignette.






If a rug shaped like the animal it use to be isn't your thing but you still want to add a little hair-on-hide in your home, try upholstering a vintage piece in cowhide:

Can you tell I'm obsessed??

Jeff Lewis Wallpaper

With the new season of Flipping Out starting this past week, I am in design TV HEAVEN-- Million Dollar Decorators AND Jeff Lewis? Best.  Television.  Ever.

Jeff and his team started out the season with a lil' bungalow remodel.  Throughout the home and in Jeff's new rental home, I kept noticing this amazing wallpaper.  After the show, I dug in a little deeper and found that the wallpaper was actually designed by Jeff Lewis himself.




You can buy your own little piece of Jeff Lewis Design here 
(and if you do, I want to come visit to drool over it in person...).




I can't wait to see what chinanigans (and beautiful homes) pop up in season 5!
