Decor From the Forest and Sea
See How to Add to Your Home With the Beauty Nature Hands You
As we do our evening nature walks this summer and pick up interesting stones, shells, feathers, twigs, and maybe even antlers we find on our way, let's think about creative ways we can incorporate these small treasures into our decor, either as temporary reminders of the nature outside or inspiration for a permanent fixture.
Some people are turned off my the rustic lodge look of antlers and the idea that a deer was hunted to display the antlers. In actuality, deer shed their antlers annually so finding one (or buying it) is a great coup. Their organic branch like forms are a true celebration of nature's beauty.
Gather some handsome twigs and branches and displaying them by leaning on a wall. In the home office, these will provide a constant source of inspiration every time you look up from your work.
Create the feel of a romantic summer's night with a twinkly golden wall decal in the dining room.
Nothing is as lovely as a tree. For a real statement, use an actual tree trunk as a column. I don't know that this should be a structurally load bearing component of your house, but as a design element, it surely packs a punch.
