Antler Decor


















Ever since I saw Erich Ginder's ghost antlers, I've toyed with the idea of decorating with antlers. I would love to hang this above our tv, but the scale is too small and it would get lost in the room.

So I was researching how other people did it:






















I like this effect - but am squeamish about using real antlers. I'd like to find faux ones made from resin that look realistic.



















This is pretty cool - maybe I can spray paint it gold?

















I wish this was larger - but it's only 2.5" big.


Apparently, I'm like 4 years behind on this trend that is way over, but I like the kitsch/irony of decorating with antlers.


















Maybe I'll just go for this clever cardboard version instead and call it a day.

lights!

I'm sad that the moravian star pendant lights I've been eying are no longer in production. i hate when that happens - I never act quickly enough.

Oh well, I'll come across my perfect light fixture someday. and coffee table too.

In the meantime, I drool for these beauties...
