Taxidermy

A while back we had these tress expertly painted by my parents in our sitting room adjoining the bedroom.  Then, while in Arizona for Thanksgiving, I experienced Z Gallerie for the first time. I quite enjoyed it.  I think I need some fake animal heads on my wall now. 

Here is my room.



We need a cute table/shelf to put right under the TV so the receivers and HTPC stuff aren't on the floor.
We need a coffee table of sorts as well...maybe a loveseat to go under the window instead of chairs in the corners...


The chairs a actually quite comfy once you get balanced...j/k

And here is my inspiration.




The two above are from Z Gallerie. I'm starting a collection jar.

Cardboard Taxidermy from Urban Outfitters.  I just thought it was clever.


Also found some DIY inspiration at Anthropologie.


These were really neat.  Maybe I could go Safari in my room and use and elephant and rhino head.  They look like all you need is a plaster, chicken wire, or paper mache base and then cover it with newspaper or book pages. The zebra's stripes are just painted on.

awesome! Or you could just get Greg to get you some real life, or dead I guess, animal heads from one of his trapping excursions :D

Let me know if you ever want help making some fake animal heads, I think it sounds fun!!!
