Falling For Antlers

Well I didn't plan on posting back to back living room posts,  but the BROWSE button has disappeared off of mine and others blogs so I can't upload photos for a new blog post.

I already had these pictures uploaded, intended for a future post.

I'm sure it will get fixed eventually.

 

 When the the antler craze first hit I'll admit that at first I thought it was yucky.

Deer antlers?....creepy!

 

 

Then I saw this from In The Fun Lane
Oooh, I am liking this!
 

I also like this also from In The Fun Lane
What an amazing coffee table vignette!

 

Then I saw another antler vignette I really liked at Lemonade Makin' Mama!

 

Lemonade Makin' Mama's simple, natural tablescape is gorgeous!

So when I found some antlers at an antique mall I decided to jump right onto the antler bandwagon!
I was kind of bummed to spend money since so many bloggers are getting them for free, but then I saw how much some websites were charging and decided $15 bucks was a steal!

I needed something to replace the Christmas decor in the living room, but I still wanted it
to have a winter look.

I think this does the trick.

I like the texture that the antler has.

I'm a big fan of texture, especially in a more neutral room.

I filled my vintage crate with old books and paperbacks that I've ripped the covers off of.

I then added a Pottery Barn lantern given to me by a dear friend and a wicker vase filled with a plant.

Then I just plopped the antler on top!

I spent a lot of time at the store looking through all the antlers picking out just the right one.

I found these ikat pillows at Marshall's!

I was so excited when  found them.

They are similar to some very expensive ikat fabric that Ballard designs used to sell that I just adored.
I am the knock off queen!

I love changing out pillows and accessories in my living room.

I already have an idea's brewing for spring.
