Animal print carpeting revisited

9 years ago

I googled stark and it looks like it sells to the trade. Where can a mere mortal get med. Quality carpet. It will go in a guest room that won't be used much but don't want el cheapo either.

FYI, there are a few different grades (at least two) of antelope carpet out there. Some of it looks and feels much better than others. Make sure you see a large sample, because you really need a large sample to see the pattern. And you want to know how it feels. We thought we'd found a great deal on antelope for our guest room and ended up buying a much more expensive version of antelope. I do love it though. Also give some thought to which direction you'd like it to run.

Are you looking for their antelope carpet, which is often seen in designer rooms, or another animal print?

I found this Milliken carpet in 8 colors, which looks nice. If
you have a particular animal print that you are looking for, let us know
which one it is and what colors you are looking for.

I like this one but not quite what I'm looking for. It should have some white ( or light color) in addition rather than being a two tone print.

CEF, piping is actually easy! I made yards and yards of it yesterday in class. And I have sewn maybe 30 minutes in my whole life. I made buttons too. There are machines for everything! Decordummy, I am in love with the palette in this remnant that will go on the back of DR chairs. Found it after I decided on colors and they are all spot on. This is from my little book I made to carry around. I got tired of dragging around the bag-o-house. I'm working on a whole house so I have to stay a little organized. And here's a couple I'm considering There are some that don't photo well, like a burlap with a stripe, some solids and this woven tweedy one - hey, that rosey middle explains why my driftwood pix look pink! And these are the SW paint color chips of the colors in play I'll be using more of the blues in wall color and the painted furniture pieces.

Well, I can help you halfway. I have cheetah print runner going up my curved staircase and the upstairs foyer is carpeted with it as well. I am so bummed I don't have a pic but I can tell you I love it and so does everyone - seriously, everyone - who sees it! I have had it installed for about three months now and I still love looking at it. I seriously doubt I will tire of it for a very long time. It looks fab with my red walls and doesn't compete with the Persian rugs in the front foyer. It is not a super small print yet it works with almost everything. Another plus is that is hides dirt and lint! It rarely looks like it needs vacuuming, even in a high traffic area. I have included a link to my pattern...

It's interesting to see how many people talk about liking and following Cooking Light years ago. They went through so many changes, and each one seemed to take them further from what people liked about them. They didn't listen. I too have old CL books, magazines and saved recipes -- a number of them are standards for us. The one thing that never took was their lightened version of Texas Sheet cake. The cake itself wasn't changed much, but they reduced the overall quantity of frosting and the fat in it -- so that is was out of balance with the sugar. If I'm going to make that cake, I make the classic version -- half in an 8x8 pan if it's just for us. ccrunneroklahoma, thanks for noting the different directions. They make more sense to me -- I was thinking the potatoes must be total mush at 40 minutes, much less the kale.

updating staircase with animal print runner

I would go back to white on the spindles after painting the risers and scrolls on the stairs white. Current runner is okay but I don't love it with the stain color on the floor or with the white paint, it skews kind of pinky-maroony, which I don't dislike but not with the yellow-brown walnut stain on the floors. I would use the money you save by not switching to trendy metal spindles, (The spindles you have would look much nicer on the inspiration staircase than theirs do, in my opinion. The inspiration is a colonial style stair and handrail with Italianate spindles) --the money you save I would go with a wool runner. Even if they age, they age better.

Scroll down to the 4th row at the link below, and the first one looks very much like the Stark Antelope. That place is in Boston, and I don't know where you are, but perhaps they can tell you who makes it.Animal Print Carpets Gallery

If you want to spend that kind of money on Stark, that's fine but really, you're mostly buying a name. My husband is a carpet installer (of 36 years). He's installed Stark and in fact just did an upscale dress shop with one of their carpets....$30,000 worth of carpet (that's $100/yd, 300 yds) and that was just the material. He has always said he didn't think it was anything extraordinary and that customers are paying for a name.

We have an antelope print carpet in our "Cowboy Chic" den. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! For the life of me I can't recall the manufacturer right now but if you're interested, I'll ask my husband tomorrow. It's wearing very well! I'm impressed with it. Here are two pictures. DH laid it on the diagonal.

Thank you so much for your useful responses. To clarify, I am not looking for antelope print. And don't want anything pricey as a seldom used room but not cheap looking either. Starke is out. Also, looking for leopard print.

No, I haven't used that company. I think that was a company name I got from the Floor to Ceiling store because they didn't have the old fashioned floral I was looking for.

I think these rugs will be very comfortable and soft. As far as their
looks are concerned suddenly there can be no other way to make room look
gorgeous. I have also seen zebra prints too but that are too bold for
me.

Finalliy had a chance to go to the Great Rug Co, in Houston, who is a dealer for Stanton. I ordered three samples that I really liked. My little room is approx. 14 x 12 and a at $45/yd it would cost almost $500 plus installation. Isn't that pricey? I have never shopped for carpeting (it was always in wherever place I lived) so have no idea.
