In the living room.
I like antiques. I'm trying to get my new home all set up, but trying to marry my stuff and his stuff isn't so easy. :( I can't wait to replace his chrome and glass entertainment center with something else! Anyway, these are just a few of the things I LOVE from my living room.
For my B-Day my loved ones very generously added to my growing Owl motif in the living room. Thanks guys! I've loved owls ever since 2008. There was a barn owl in the HUGE tree behind our first house and she had three owlets. I watched them grow up that summer. They were awesome. So now, I kind of collect them.
An antique steamer trunk that I use to house my owl boys, Red, Herbert, Jefferson, and Bill. And my lamp and a framed photo of the kids that London hand painted for me.
The red owl is an antique whiskey decanter! The center is a vase, third is a vintage book end and fourth is just a cute little guy I got at Pier 1.
Owls and poppies. 'Nuff said. It's actually a little out of place on this wall. I may move it to the hall. Or behind the TV.
Smaller antique trunk I use as a coffee table. I put all of my guest pillows and blankets in it so they are out of sight till some one stays over.
OOOOOO. I love my sofa. It's leather and so buttery soft. And it reclines! Jamie bought my couch pillows. She couldn't find two of the owl ones so it's the "accent" pillow. I'm going to replace the throw with something that matches though.
Roger's Grandma got this specifically for me because I have an Iris tattooed on my foot. This goes where I have the owls now. I need to put it back.
I had these on the wall at my apartment and have yet to find their place at the new house.
Our souvenirs from Florida on my crappy book case. i can't wait to replace it with a REAL book case. You know, made out of wood.
Anyway, I just wanted to share. I am loving the owl theme and think it doesn't completely overwhelm the room, so I'm going to just go with it.

Owls are awesome. And you, by association, are clearly also awesome.

Oh totally. You've never seen anything cute till you've seen an owlet! I had three in my back yard, and their mama. My Husband says I'm the crazy bird lady. Roosters in the kitchen, owls in the living room, peacocks in the bedroom. Can't help it, birds are majorly pretty!
Thanks Rachel. I think the thing that bothers people the most is I name my owl knick knacks. LOL. They have such different personalities!
I think you are so right! Thanks!
Love the old trunks!

I really like the idea of using trunks as coffee tables...now you've got my thinking of searching my local flea markets for some of my own :)

You cna't beat a truck for style AND storage space! It was so much fun hunting for them! That's why I have two. I didn't measure the space and height I needed, bought one, and it was too big. Now it holds my extra blankets and stuff. I went to a different antique store and got one that is the proper height. I could spend all day in the antique store!
Thanks Kacie! I know you like Owls as well, yes? You should see all the stuff I force myself NOT to buy, so I don't over do it.
Thanks Angela. You should see the inside of it! It's quilted instead of felted, so it's really pretty inside. And pretty unique. I've never seen one quilted on the inside before!
