I am truly in love right now with the FAUXIDERMY TREND right now.
And with the gorgeous Fall season in full 'bloom', what better way to celebrate Life , and Death ;-) than thru these nature-inspired decor!

| Like these from Z gallerie |
They come in all sorts of material too from paper...
 |
| West Elm's |
... to Cardboard puzzles....
 |
| From Urban Outfitters |
.. and even Cable knit covered ones..
 |
| source Would look amazing for a Christmas mantle! |
.. to metal and inflatable plastics!
 |
| Also From Urban Outfitters |
There atypical versions too such as these Dog heads...
 |
| Anthro doggies |
and this outrageously priced one of a walrus head...
 |
| Walrus Bust by Ivar Theorin - $1,250 |
They can range from weird...
 |
| Squirrel and tail |
to fabulous...

I am totally smitten with this!
And though we live in the south where the wild things run free and hunting is as common as hiking, we just haven't gotten ourselves into it yet.
And so, as an 'ode' to the south and my love for fauxidermy, I incorporated some in the best space for these in my home - my son's bedroom!
I got my 'fix from TJ Maxx for $12.99 each. :-)

| Excellent place to hang Medals too! |

love the blue and tan deer heads with the twin beds! new follower... xm
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan!! and I don't have any!! I love the white ones and the metallic ones. I really love how you mixed yours into the gallery wall- looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove the metal horns, and the white dear head. I am not a fan of taxidermy as a general rule, but the obviously not real ones are OK. Even stylish. I could go for that!

The ones you used in your son's room look great, perfect for a young man. I love the faux ones, anything verging on realistic just doesn't register on my cute meter. Hung my stag head from Tar-jay online yesterday. Named him Fred. Already a member of the family :)
ReplyDeleteI've fallen victim to the trend too! We have a chrome gazelle, whom I've name Giselle. She's one of my fav accessories in the house!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fan! That sweater head was great. I like the stuffed animal heads on plaques too. I think they are comical and cute.
ReplyDeleteI love deer heads - this is awesome! ~Pernilla
ReplyDeleteI like it too, especially the white one with the gold antlers above the desk. Great idea for a post, Vel
ReplyDeleteI am totally crushing at the antlers too....thanks for sharing where you got yours. I might have to drop by J Maxx...they are great!
ReplyDeletewhat a deal Vel! I love how beautiful and functional that one on the wall can be, yes perfect for hanging medals♥
ReplyDeleteI can't believe those are from TJ Maxx! So cute!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen so many different ones, each one as beautiful as the others. Thanks for sharing, Vel...Christine
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and so much better, than real heads hanging on the wall! I am from the south, too, and have seen enough of those - lol!!
ReplyDeleteI love them--except for the dogs, those are weird!
ReplyDeleteI like the antlers! The tour of your home is fabulous - thanks so much for sharing.

I love all of these--the deer with the golden antlers is my favorite!

Thanks for the shout out, sweet friend! Mine came from TJ Maxx too, but yours were a steal, of course!! :) I know they're trendy, but still just fun!
ReplyDeleteVel, I think the ones you used might be my favorites - a modern take on this fun trend! Love how you incorporated them into your son's gallery wall!
ReplyDeleteI'm still on the fence about fauxidermy. I'm undecided about the ones with a head, but I do like the ones that are just the antlers - like the ones in your son's room. I would definitely hang those in my gallery wall!
ReplyDeleteI never ever thought I would hang a deer head on the wall but some of the new faux taxidermy is so fun and I would totally do it if I had the right spot. Love how you incorporated one into your ORC room!!
ReplyDeleteI love faux taxidermy! I think they add another dimension to a space. I particularly love metallic and white ones! Yours look fab! I had two in my home, one in the living room and one in my son's room. Don't mind getting more in the future!
