Okay so I love the wallpaper in this photo! Anyone know where I can get something similar?

You can also find them here:
http://www.cowboyindian.com/hpzebra.htm

Family friend owns that business. Completely Reputable!

Or I could just click on the link for the photo and find out it is from Cole & Sons. When are we getting the edit/delete button for comments?

the link to your bedroom pic doesnt work!
and i think a zebra rug goes well in any contemporary/modern setting!

Where can we find nice and affordable zebra-printed and -shaped rugs that aren't animal hide? Thanks.

search ebay for zebra rugs and you'll also find several people/companies selling zebra print cowhide (and possible non-animal) rugs.

2nd Pteetsa's comment. Are any available that aren't made from animal hide? Knowing that an animal died for my rug would make me extremely sad.

I want that chair...
...and these aren't real zebra hides - they're printed cowhides.
(same stuff shoes are made from...)

Here's a non-animal zebra rug from West Elm...

...tho it isn't much better, as it's made from polyester (which is a Petroleum product)

bedroom link's been fixed.

cheers!

Alpha Workshops does a painted Zebra hide floorcloth.

And Parrish Hadley was famous for its needlepoint zebra "skins."

bepsf,

The West Elm zebra rug says that it's made of wool, not polyester. I think.

West Elm rugs shed like crazy! i have "carpet bunnies" like you wouldn't believe. Stay away from west elm rugs!

BSmeltz--

My bad - I was looking at the rug PAD!
:-O

the desire to have animal hide, or something that looks like animal hide, prominently and permanently displayed in my home is profoundly unappealing. i don't get why people go for these. seems just as bad as those big stuffed, mounted deer heads.

Just so you'll know - the cow didn't die for your rug. The cow died for your McDonald's.

No, no, LBhirise, the cow died for our Jello brand gelatin!

Since the rug is so trendy, it will be so out of style pretty soon. So only get it if you LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I did zebra print in the late 60's. I had/have a zebra print sleeping bag that is black vinyl on the outside. So mod.

Overstock has wool zebra:

So as not to follow the trend, but to enjoy the colors and patterns, maybe choose something different, like the round they show.

Or something that is neither zebra nor brocade:

Oops, that one's sold out. But you get the idea.

I'd start a petition to ban zebra patterns from everywhere but zebras, who likes to join?

where is the chair from?

My cat is afraid of anything that resembles animal hide or fur, even fake fur, so I could never have an animal hide rug. She's a little spazzy, but I still like her.

RML--

Lots of rugs, from many places, at many price points, shed. Just because the rug you bought is from there, and sheds, does not mean that: A) All rugs from West Elm shed or B) rugs from ONLY West Elm shed.

i love the print and black and white together, but also felt weird/sad about having the actual animal shape (or hide) on my floor, so was really happy to find a rectangluar version at world market... plus, it's only $95!

As others have pointed out, the animal connection is a bit...unsavory (at least to me). I think it's the shape that drives that home the most, so you could always buy a zebra-print rug (in geometric form).

Pretty good selection of Zebra Pattern Rugs here

I've had a cowhide rug in my bedroom for years, got it from The Cowhide Company of New Mexico. When dealing with prints or dyed hides, I recommend really checking out the process they use, otherwise you might end up with something with a strong chemical smell that'll never go away.
