Moroccan Beni Ouarain Rugs

(The Parker via My Marrakesh)

Finally!

I’ve been dying to know what these rugs were ever since I saw them at The Parker in Palm Springs. When I saw them pop up at Desire to Inspire via images of April Tidey’s amazing interiors I just had to ask. Thanks to midcenturyjo I now know.

Moroccan Beni Ouarain Rugs

I’m blogging it here so I don’t forget.

***A quick google informed me that they are VERY expensive…so never mind. You will never see them at The Brick House. Boo Hoo.

Eames

I bet you were wondering…

What is that lovely Eames armchair in the den?



I bought that a little while ago from Dean over at My Little Apartment.
Thanks Dean – I got a new base and its fab.

Cowhide Rugs – in action!

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

I bought 2 cowhides off of Craigslist (thanks Maya – I know that guy was weird) for $50 a pop.

One ended up in the master bedroom at the end of the bed instead of the peacock blue Hemmet rug from Ikea. I LOVE it. I love the shape, the color, and how it breaks up all the angles in the room.

I added the other to the den. I’m not as happy with it here, but still I like it more than the ugly brown rug I had before. Now I want to change a whole bunch of things, the coffee table, the couch, I want a larger white cowhide rug…uggggh.
