Faux Deer Decor ♥

I love faux deer heads. They really add that punch to a room and I'd love to get one for my study. The sky blue walls would look amazing next to white resin. However, decorating with this type of piece can be tricky. It takes the right kind of mix to keep it fresh and modern, otherwise you get something more along the lines of this: Ok, maybe that's extreme, but anyhoo - here's a little inspiration for those of you who love faux deer decor but don't know how to incorporate it into your own setting. I particularly like the deer silhouettes and the ornate circular frames placed around them. You can also take that extra step and place pretty wallpaper underneath. Below are some great ideas for faux deer decor, and some good places to get one for yourself. (Photo credits below

Indoor/Outdoor Furniture, Lighting & Accessories by Blue Nature

To me, there's nothing better than mixing modern design with natural elements. It's like getting the best of both worlds, and I love to see companies that specialize in that sort of thing. I stumbled upon Blue Nature, and I'm lovin the natural elements they use to create their furniture and accessories. In particular, the candle holders, frames made of wood and stone, the forest like partition, and pretty much their whole line of lighting. See more at Blue Nature, it's not one to miss.

My Home Renovation: The Study

So I haven't done a post in a while due to the fact that I just bought a new home. A three bedroom with a basement that has an additional room that could be a master. It's been rough moving in (and fun at the same time) as the house was a foreclosure and empty for over a year..which means I had to do a ton of cleaning and updates to the electric and plumbing. I finally got my electricity turned on so now I'm back to blogging :) I've got tons of projects I've got to tackle so I'll be posting before and after photos of my progress.

These next shots were taken of my study. Most of the items were purchased at IKEA and the curtains were given to me by my Mom which she bought at a thrift shop. The floral piece was also given to me by my Mom and is something I remember having in our home when I was a child. I'm going to spray paint it white except for the flower buds which will make it pop against the yellow wall. Also threw in one of my little man enjoying his new room..lol

Liam loves his new room :D

This is the new couch I got. It's sooo soft and looks expensive, but wasn't :)

Kids Forest Theme Room

I've been driving myself crazy trying to come up with a design for my sons room and I finally decided on a forest theme with lots of owls and deers all over. I did this collage up in Polyvore. It's a great way to visualize how items will look together, and something I've found indispensible when it comes to decorating.

For the Love of Owls

If you love owls as much as I do, you'll appreciate this post. Visit Urban Outfitters for all the goods.

Etsy Finds: Mid Century and Nature Inspired Coasters

From Merit Market. These coasters would look so cute sitting on a mid century teak coffee or end table! I think I'd have to go with the chairs because I love those colors.
