Dec. 21, 2007 - fluff (dated fluff, in fact) from NY Times ‘styles’ / remember that rug??


the zebra cowhide rug has lost its edge
I will never find my post unless by accident, but I clearly remember posting some months ago as an aside something like ‘what’s up with the animal rugs all of a sudden?’, after commenting about a rug in a ($3mm?) loft and a very similar rug in a ($900k?) loft.

The NY Times yesterday announced that I was not alone in commenting on the ubiquity of the zebra cowhide rug, in Flash in the Can, about design trends that “got up and went” in 2007.

The hot-then-out-now zebra cowhide rug is pictured here.

That made me smile.

Interesting....  Thought the comment about the bamboo sheets in the New York Times article was amusing too.

LOL, Lola (sorry ... could not resist).

I have never seen bamboo sheets (let alone touched them, or slept in them) and I am having a lot of trouble even imagining them.

Looking at the article again, I realize my brain is reading "zebra" rug, when they wrote (and I have seen) "cowhide" rugs. Must be the black and white thing. Need to fix that.... THX for stopping by, and for leaving a trace.
