Cowhide Wall Decor?

Today's Agenda:  So I was supposed to start the day off with my awesome 6:45am yoga class but I just woke up with a pounding headache that I'm hoping will wear off by later in the day...water, advil, walk outside will hopefully make this go away...

I ran across this bedroom in Royce Pinkwater's Park Avenue home.  {From House Beautiful, October 2011}

Different.  Fun.  Young.  I think i like it.  

But, I'm still thinking about the cowhide on the wall...what do you think about this?

Could be really fun in a hotel room design...
