For the love of birds

In honor of the new "Owl Forest" at the Tracy Aviary,  I thought I'd share with you my other little owl.

I did think about using it as a wrapping paper container, but I think it may look a little busy, and squished.  I'll probably end up putting woolly hats & gloves in it, and wait for the kids to knock it over when retrieving their outerwear.

Office Sneak Peek

Yes, I know it is taking forever to finish my home office.  Unfortunately, I seem to keep adding to the design!  I think this room may begin to suffer from being over designed.  Help!

While I'm waiting on a few more things to arrive to truly complete my vision, here are a few sneak peeks.
 

This mirror may or may not stay.  It's a little large, and quite hollywood glam, not quite sure if it's the look I'm going for, we'll see.

 Hope to have completed office pictures soon!  In the mean time, I'd love to hear what you think.  Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

Owl Lamp

My new owl lamp from West Elm arrived yesterday, and it's so cute.

Here it is in situ.

And if you read my previous post, you'll know that the hubby is also renovating a home office for himself.  Here's the lamp that he chose!

Gone to the birds....

Why am I so drawn to birds in decor?

Is it their shape or their sweet nurturing nature?

Maybe it's the variety of colours they come in.

I see a bird related design project in my future.

This sideboard needs lightening up.  I'm contemplating lining it with this bird wrapping paper.

Plates on the walls in the kitchen, not considered too country anymore, I hope.

A couple of new additions to the bird family.

bird pouf by Zid Zid Kids, yes I need to iron the slipcover!

Even the bubble bath has birds in it!  

Not content to have birds just at home, I've even been known to wear them.

More birds in the bathroom!

Current obsession is this gorgeous wallpaper by Louise Body.  It comes in two colourways, blue & stone.

Hope you enjoyed my bird-brained tour.  Next stop, flowers!
