Walls, Windows & Floors: White Cowhide Rugs
From Julie
My minimalist friend Sarah got me thinking about the appeal of white cowhide rugs; here's a roundup of possibilities.

Available in two sizes: the 6-by-4-foot size is $580 and the 6-by-8-foot size is $1,160 (also available in custom sizes by special order).

For LA readers of the blog, I noticed yesterday that Michael Levine downtown on Maple Street has a bunch of these rugs, including pure white and black for around $500 - $800 with 20% off at the moment.

These are one of my favorite things ever. Only thing people should be aware of when buying, though, is that as the rugs get walked on, the hair will wear off, and you'll start to see the often mottled skin underneath. I think it's beautiful but I can see some people being unpleasantly surprised!
I tried it - the dogs viewed it as a rawhide project. This is why I can't have nice things.
We ordered our white cowhide rug from Pure Rugs and could not have been happier. It is absolutley gorgeous and the quality is incredible. So far, no wear and tear, and we have a very active toddler.

Thanks for sharing. I've been looking around for the cowhide flower rug. I really like the pattern for my kitchen floor. Again, thanks.
