Green Idea - Faux Grass Sheepskin Rug
Melbourne

The weather in Melbourne over the past 10 days has been unbearably hot. With 3 days in a row being over 43ºC [or 109ºF] and the remaining days only slightly cooler, we’ve been sadly watching the remaining green grass turn to crispy crunchy brown. Yesterday we stumbled across this faux grass sheepskin rug as a vegetarian friendly decor alternative and rounded up some great AT rooms that we can see this working in.

All of the below AT rooms already have sheepskin rugs and we would enjoy seeing these spaces with a splash of grass green too.

The Faux Grass Sheepskin Rug is available from Etsy seller Luxford St and is made from 2 inch artificial grass and the underside is pool table felt.
Do you love this vegetarian friendly decor or do you prefer your grass to be kept outside?

Why would someone choose to emulate the skin of an animal with grass? Not even real grass? Just like this stupid thing: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/rugs-carpets/modern-polar-bear-rug-made-from-recycled-blankets-067975

The whole appeal of a sheepskin rug is the incomparable softness and cush, as well as the natural soil resistance. This is pointless and ugly.

Finally! Sheepskin for the vegans!!

(I think it's humorous, ironic, poetic, conceptual, and totally fun in the right setting. Does it come in Zebra?? :) )

Wow, that polar bear rug KTG linked is awesome.
I think the Other Patrick may be on to something with that zebra idea, but I'm seeing a tiger with a topiary head.
