Cute Critters

Yesterday over at The Zhush, Susan posted this picture of her living room:

From the crown moulding to the carpet, I just adore everything about this room. And take a close at the mantel… how cool is that silver balloon dog?! I love it!! I want it!! So I set out on a search to find it… and I did :-) Or something really similar, anyway. It took some work, but I finally landed on Anima Causa Boutique, where they sell the Doggy Bank for $79.00:

I’ve put in my request with hubby to get me one for my birthday :-)

And speaking of cute critters, I came across this adorable little owl lamp base at Urban Outfitters:

He seems to be out of stock at the moment, but hopefully he’ll fly back into the store soon!!

(Michelle left a comment with a link to another owl lamp option at Target. This one is cute too — Thanks Michelle!!)

If you happen to be wanting to hang ostrich wallpaper in your living room but don’t know where to find it, you’re in luck!! Shannon from What’s Up Whimsy guest posted over at Staci Edwards Design Blog yesterday, and shared this picture from Lonny magazine:

The wallpaper is from Beware the Moon in the UK and comes in three colourways:

If ostriches are a little too exotic for you, how about dogs?? Osborne & Little’s Best In Show wallpaper is perfect for dog-lovers.

It comes in three colourways:

Thibaut sells a dog wallpaper which also happens to be called Best in Show, and it’s available in six colourways: Aqua, Metallic, Black, Camel, Blue, and Brown:

You might remember Sarah Richardson using this wallpaper in a nursery she designed for a set of triplets on Design Inc.

 

Sarah and her team created the artwork above the cribs by cutting out individual dogs from the paper and framing them. A bit labour-intensive, but a great way to create original art.

Oh, and I just came across this picture on the Massucco Warner Miller web site (check out Nancy’s Q&A with these three uber-talented ladies). It’s the Zebra wallpaper from Sclamandré, available in Masai Red, Serengeti Green, Zanzibar Gold, and Safari Brown:

Would you welcome any of these cute critters into your home??
