I have been noticing director style chairs popping up everywhere. I've even seen a couple from the 70s on my local Craigslist. Everything in design seems to recycle. As for the above rug, I am usually not a fan of cowhide patch rugs but I like the one shown in the top two photos. I've noticed in our home that our cowhide rugs have proved to be kid friendly. I've had a white one in our front room for 3 or 4 years and it has been so easy to keep clean and any stains come right up.
In the meantime I am liking some of the fun details from this house featured in Chicago Home & Garden Magazine this month.

I seem to be growing a collection of cowhides at an alarming rate. The patchwork ones are just divine.
PS- LOVED your two looks one room post. You are so talented!
It is true - it all comes full circle. Bri just bought a director's chair at the flea and fixed it up with a leather seat and back. Very cool!
Thank you for posting about cowhide rugs being kid friendly. I was considering one from IKEA (only $199) and its nice to know it could stand up to the demands of family life!
love the wall color with that orange
So beautiful. Are the walls black? Very masculine and yet feminine at the same time.
I adore those first two photos! It's so nice to see rich, colorful rooms done well. Sometimes I feel like the only person who is drawn to strong colors on the walls, and it's hard for me to find design inspiration that I can directly translate into my home.
(Gray! Always the light gray walls! Makes me feel like I *must* be doing it wrong. Those photos say I can be right, too. :))
Had to post the pictures you found from Chicago Home & Garden. Might have to even have a copy shipped to GA so I can delve more into the pictures. The outside and inside are equally as beautiful!
I love the director's chairs. They look so comfy!
As for the cowhide patchwork rug, I don't think I've seen one in our parts. It's beautiful!
