The Art of Living...decorating moments of masculinity

Just like any other decorista, I go crazy for a bold and feminine room...
however, mixing in some masculinity into an interior can create such a perfect harmony.
It's almost too good to resist.
An easy way to pop in a gentleman's vibe is by using amazing taxidermy, 
aka well mounted antlers.
Decorating with antlers is major unabashed masculinity and I highly recommend trying it.
If you can't stand the sight of real life anters, Zgallerie has a great collection of plastered white ones that are also incredibly chic. Check out their latest collection.

{Please note that this look can easily be overdone. So limit your creativity to soft panache.}

I know some people say antlers were a trend that's been and gone but doesn't bother me as I still love them. They bring that perfect country vibe. Delicious! Fab post, hun. xo

Antler's are definitely all the rage right now, aren't they?

I have seen some great designs on Etsy.com as well, if you are looking for alternatives to the real animal parts hanging on your wall. There are some really cool sculptural looking ones made out of cardboard.

i don't know where IN THE world my antler love came from - but all of a sudden a few years ago i've been gun-hoe over it!

i love this look, but you're right, it can be overdone. i like it in small doses and usually painted white. the last photo is my favorite!

I like the blending of unlikely pairs in creating a room that works!

Too funny! I just did a post on antlers last week!! I am starting to catch on to it as long as it's done tastefully and in small doses.
