After wanting one for quite awhile, I finally got a cowhide rug last year and put it in the dining room. I love it there. It’s the ideal rug for under a table since it’s so durable and DOES NOT STAIN. Really, I have spilled red wine with no ill effects to the rug. It also feels terrific underfoot. It feels so lovely and luxurious.
Although I love the black and white hide, I secretly always wanted a luscious, cream colored hide too. From time to time, I would casually shop for one online but never pulled the trigger because the cream hides seem to be so much more expensive than the common brown or black.
Last month, I ran into Sam’s Club looking for luggage and found cowhides instead. They had a variety of colors and sizes, and no matter the size, they were all the same price: $99. You know which one I got – the most monochrome cream hide in the bunch. It’s much smaller than the one in the dining room, but that turned out to be just fine for the office.
My feet revel in the softness while I sit at my desk, at work on the computer. I seriously love that feeling and I didn’t get to enjoy it enough in the lesser used dining room.
Notice, right by the back chair leg, there’s a brand mark!
That line down the middle isn’t a fold, it’s a darker stripe of hair. I layered the rug right over (low-pile) carpet and the black and white Ikea striped rug.
I kind of want to add a cowhide to every room.
But I won’t.
