I’m not gonna lie — I pretty much just googled “antelope rug” for today’s post. In defense of my laziness I would like you to know that our old house is now under contract although we still have 856 people walking through at all hours, home inspectors are crawling up my ass like fire ants, I co hosted a bachelorette party with Karly on Saturday and I am still hung over, and Better Half Ben is home sick with the pukey vomits — betcha I’m next.
Deep breath. Now look at these damn rugs.
I should probably be embarrassed to bust out this roundup, as a zillion bloggers have already beaten me to it. But since I came across a ton of images featuring creepy camouflaged men cradling dead antelopes during my search for big beautiful pictures, I feel like I have suffered sufficiently for this post.
Oh, and did I mention that the living room is being painted today? Cross your fingers and toes and eyes and pray that no one finds me hanging from the rafters when it’s done.
Going to curl up in bed and hide for a few. Toodles.

If these rugs are all over the internets, they’re still brand new to me…and have me practically hyperventilating. Must. Own. Now.
Can’t wait to hear about the paint job verdict…good luck!
I haven’t seen those rugs yet, either!
Love what’s going on with the rug in that hallway. clever.
I like Karly’s zebra rugged nursery better, way brighter with more things to engage her little dude.
Hope you and Ike don’t get what Ben has.
And, most important Congrats on selling your house. We all knew it would get snapped up quickly!
Yay! House under contract! Hurrah!
That second photo – the nursery – has me feeling like I am depriving my child.
Who wouldn’t want to buy your delightfully beautiful house. Congrats that you have a contract.
Can’t wait to see how the living room turns out. Fingers and toes all crossed.
As for the Antelope rug. You know that I have one in my master bedroom. It has been a few years, but I still am in love with the pattern.
Keep us posted about the painting.

I KNEW your house would sell fast — faster than a fire ant brigade.
(whatever the hell that is…)
i’m tired tonight and going to curl up too.
p.s. i mentioned you today over at the ‘den’.
got boxes???
This post is why I read your stuff everyday. I love how you write. Ever consider the Great American Novel.
They are new to me too. Where have I been? Now I need one. Shit. Congrats on the house!
Holy shit under contact?! That was quick. I’m happy and hope that goes smoothly. As for the paint, I’m crossing my fingers and toes. But I’m crossing an odd amount, because if you cross an even amount it’s actually bad luck and you could end up with a bad color in your house. And I really don’t want that.
I presume you’ll be posting pretty Erin-aftershots?
I have not seen these! Beautiful!
Yes, you are apparently my only source of cutting edge interior trends, as I have never seen these before either… and I agree that the nursery is the most successful use of the rug. Thank you for suffering through what I can only presume were men sporting their proud-I-bested-that-beast faces while cradling said beast. I, too, have suffered such images from friends’ vacation photos (shudder). Maybe THAT’s why I don’t dig animal prints in general!
Much congrats on the house sale!
As for the rug – Im not feeling the love. Animal prints gove me heebie Jeebies!
Good luck with the hang over too! As in my old age I suffer very badly from hang overs that I even stopped drinking! My recent break up (eh!)has me hitting the bottle once more but this time with organic wine – so NO next day toilet bowl stalking required!
rrrrrrrrrrrrin!!
first: Miss you.
second OMGOMGOMG i almost just used antelope rug for a project. But I didn’t. But I got real excited about it and plan on using it in the future.
third; totally hope you didn’t get the pukey vomits.
Big hugs.
Love this rug! It’s so versatile – we had it in our dining room and them when we renovated our house, we moved it to the office and it looks great there as well. You can’t go wrong with it – it works as a neutral, but way cooler!
