…animal house!

June 19, 2012 by christen | 8 Comments

Ha! I was thinking about writing this post and the more “animal” prints & themes I have going on the more I thought how funny it was. We endearing refer to our house as “animal house” and it truly is!

I finally found another brown zebra rug that fit my reclaimed wood dining table.

Just got these and I’m thinking about putting one about the TV. Don’t revoke my PETA membership just yet – they are resin.

At the end of the sisal runway you will see a wildly out of place owl. But I love him.

Hoo!

More zebra…and a cat tail. Go figure.

The infamous wood horse on the Bombay (now for sale).

Okay, now PETA can take back my membership because I think the tips of these brushes actually are horse hair. Didn’t know that! They don’t hurt the horse, though, do they? Just give him a tail trim?

Oh, Kane. When he’s not sitting there he’s just making trouble.

Fake ivory fur all over the place. And a bull’s head. One of 2 in the house.

Friend or foe? Accessory or Fluff? You have all met my camera-loving Ollie. Here he is in the wild of the ottoman. Oh, Ollie-handro.

    ok, what’s with the bull heads-must have a Taurus living in that house. Is Kane a chocolate lab? If so, I’m sure he’s contributing his fur to the animal house. Funny post.

    you and I have such similar taste, and yet you are able to materialize the look and make it look so easy,,,, I on the other hand take forever to make any decision… sigh in any case, can you tell us where you got your reclaimed wood dining table? thanks!
