Oh, PETA Might Just Kill Me

I don't eat any land meat. Not really a vegetarian, but more of a pescatarian. I don't wear real fur (sorry I do own some leather goods) and I'm big on animal rights but, there's just one thing that I badly want... it's a cow hide rug!!!!
There's something so masculine yet sexy about it and adds a little character to any space. I probably will own one or maybe two in our new apartment and people will probably call me a hypocrite but I can't help it. I love cowhide! I'll just not invite people over who might throw eggs at me!

i feel the same way about meat and have just recently become a pescatarian! I love these spaces, they are so inspiring.

From where i come from ( South Africa ) you will find tons of cow hide rugs, it's just the norm here to have one.

Haha I love them too! I have two cowhide chairs, and a zebra rug...oops.

But really, did you know that about 15 years ago PETA was the top terrorist threat in America. I'd say they need to work on their image..

Love these rooms.

Well I support the fur...and even though I'm veggie, it can't hurt to buy some leather (When vintage and supporting a shelter like spca thrift store)

Beautiful interiors.... Loooooove ;))

I know what you mean. Sometimes it's hard to resist leather goods. Especially a cowhide rug like the one in the photos. I agree, it does add warmth to a room.

Ah they are so stylish though!

Such beautiful spaces hun...A lot of it looks totally lived in so if it helps, I'm sure those cow hides have been handed down for generations...or at least thrifted ;D Does vintage fur count?

I love cow hide rugs too! Maybe you can find a rug that's not actually made from a cow.

I completely agree! I'm vegan (diet wise) so I'm not partial to most things the are actual animal but I'm loving this cow hide rug... It's so sexy. Maybe there's a faux one roaming around somewhere, I hope!

Animal skins on anything are so wrong yet soooooo undeniably sexy! There are many in Australia so come down under! :D I'll take you cow hide rug shopping :D
