Cardboard Safari

Perhaps it's my poorly disguised fondness for the interior of the South Street Seaport Abercrombie, but I absolutely love these cardboard cutout animals (via Cardboard Safari: website and etsy). Unfortunately, they're all quite compelling, and I can't decide which one I want.

In addition to the above stag head, moose, bison, and rhino heads are also available.

Not to mention a complete, free-standing rhino.

And (wonder of all wonders!) an elephant head.

Something tells me that more than one cardboard animal per residence would be unreasonable, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Perhaps with enough skeepskin blankets and cowhide rugs, an effect could be achieved where one cardboard animal trophy per room would not be out of place.

Scandinavian Living at Huset

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get images off of Huset's website. Thankfully, others on the internet have managed what I cannot, so there will be pictures.

A sheepskin! And it's machine washable!

I have no idea why this is called what it's called.

Ferm Living Pouf Pouf
Could I make this myself? Probably.
Am I too lazy to do so? Most definitely.

Just a few picks, since the images have to be found through google. They have quite an adorable selection of person-shaped hooks, and all the tea accessories one's heart could desire.

The crack that is IKEA

IKEA has far too many chairs, and for many of those chairs, I'm quite fond of several colors. I don't have the presence of mind for a single, lucid, very long post about all of them at once. Not now, not ever.

So here's to the first of many posts about chairs from IKEA...
IKEA Tullsta (in dark grey) $99

Not overfond of the birch legs (which are very IKEA), but I think on this chair, they look ok.

Also quite fond of the natural.

Color Schemes

I'm quite fond of the colors of this couch, white with dark brown/black.
This loveseat is the closest I can find on IKEA at the moment.

These last two pictures just seem ... ideal to me.
Especially the first one, with the black leather and the gray cloth.

'Nuff said. Lots of choices with the Ikea Poang.
