Spray Paint Love and Animal Decor


So, I have become I little spray paint happy again... the chair above was a great find! A Restoration Hardware bamboo chair found at a local overstock store.  It was white, but had some damage that needed to be covered, so I found this great turquoise color.

Next, I have seen some fantastic, bright colored, ceramic animals used in decor lately, and I wanted to add a few to our home.  However, the cost of these animals was more than I wanted to spend. So, I took the kids to Hobby Lobby and let them each choose an animal they wanted in their rooms, and then we painted the animals. The kids loved picking an animal and having a little paint project, and I liked adding something fun to their room decor. Plus, I bought these when Hobby Lobby had them for 50% off. It was a pretty inexpensive way to add a little color and fun to their rooms.

Banquet Wildlife Posters


Aren't these wildlife posters by Banquet fantastic?  
I love how unique, graphic, and modern they are.  
What a great way to encourage a child's excitement for animals and a great teaching too as well.
I spotted these Banquet posters from here, but you can purchase them from here.
 
I know I-man would love them on his wall.  He is so enthralled with animals, reptiles, 
and bugs right now.  Having Mr. D as a dad really enhances his love, because Mr. D 
likes to bring home his many finds while he is out and about in nature.... 
For example, last weekend, while fishing, he found a snake and brought it home for I-man.  
Guess where that snake currently resides.  IN HIS BEDROOM!  
Don't worry. I double and triple check every night to make sure that the snakes "home"
is secure before I go to bed.  Luckily Viper, his new name, is just a gopher snake. But still... it is a snake! 
They fed it a mouse tonight...ewww!  
And my little, sweet, Ashy girl is all into this to. Yuck!

Omlet Eglus



We built in the area we live in with the intent on having horses...
and although most of our neighbors do have horse, we still don't have any. Someday!

My husband does want to get goats this summer.  
Um... I'm not sure how I feel about that.  
We both agree we should get chickens, however we so do not agree 
on a home for the chickens.  He wants to build a home for them, 
and I want to get them a little stylish, modern home.  
Hey, I know the chickens don't care what their home looks like, 
but it is in my backyard, and I care! :)
How great are these eglus!
