and more rezjoushing.

this is what i came up with
after heading to a neighbors and seeing their
most fabulous wall o' photos.

 

this is what it used to look like.

 so much better, 

don't you think?

now you can actually 

see grandma on her wedding day 

at the ripe old age of 17

also added a little plant life.

plant life is always good.

ignore the unuly wire hanging off 

the desk.

still working on that one.

also swapped out the lime for a little robin's egg.

the office before

Antlers: welcome white lacquer

One thing I posted

early on
here at Simply Brookes:
was my affinity for antlers

Call Me Crazy

Love the look.
Always have.

Got feedback.

I get it.

Not everyone appreciates my
fondness for a buck head on the wall
hovering over your living space
peering into the room.

I do get it.

So then I posted a paper alternative.
Way more politically correct.
Fun.
Novelty-like.
Not so scary.


Unique Furniture Find: update

Well, ladies and gentlemen,
(if, in fact, there are any gentlemen
who actually read this little old blog)

I have found an even
classier,
sleeker,
chic-er
(is that a word?)
alternative
to my antler affinity.

Welcome
White Lacquer



This is what I spied
on my latest stroll
through
Z Gallerie

Have I sold you yet?

Can you just picture it?
The perfect entry piece?
Hanging just right in the living room?
Rec room?

Something tells me not all of you
are going to cross over to the dark side.

That's okay.
I still love them.

Will eventually find the right spot
for one of these bad boys
in my humble abode.

Anyone with me?

What a statement.

It is easy.

It is temporary.

It is bold.

Wall Decals.

You can find virtually hundreds of designs in a multitude of colors.

Here are just a few I found.

Thanks, Kris.
I got the idea from looking through your amazing FB photos
of your construction remodel.
Well done.

I, too, have used a wall decal or two but liked these ideas more.
I might have to edit and redo myself.

Would love to hear about any wall decal accomplishments on your end.

After seeing all the leaning mirror inspirations, especially Michael Partenio's living room design, I reworked my own dining room space.

I am really excited about the overall look.

Thought you'd appreciate a picture in my own house of the ideas I put out in blog land.

Enjoy....

maybe these aren't antlers, but wood? Still like it...

hooked on houses

Have you guessed it by now? Yes, antlers.

For some reason I am intrigued and inspired by the occasional antlers places in any sharp interior space.

Bold.

Yes, I know.

But when you look at a great space with unique, three-dimensional antlers ever so cleverly place...you secretly want that look. Right?

Or is it just me?

Could you ever see yourself with an antler light fixture? Okay, maybe just antler candle holders placed just so on your coffee table? Or a whole steer head making it's presence above your bed?

Would love your thoughts...
