There is "woodland" menagerie decor at Anthropologie. Some of the animals are okay, but I can't get into the deer.

Oh my, way too outdoorsy for me.

Bordering creepy.

@lolakimono

You can really find some unique & interesting fashion photos. I just love viewing your postings. In my head I'm wondering where does she find this stuff?

Is your "real/offline" life in the fashion/designer world?

No....I don't like any of them.

A already live in Jurassic Park. No need for me to bring those critters into the house.

I do have animal skins decorating my living room wall though.

@Mz iMac

In my "real" life, I am a teacher, most currently of middle schoolers.

Right now I have taken a few days of bereavement leave, in order to cope with the loss of my godmother/aunt. They are all on the opposite coast, so when I finish with school I catch up on the calls/texts that I missed during the school day while my phone is off (and with the time change) and then I get caught up. Unfortunately, I was burning the emotional candle at both ends and finding it difficult to get through this week's start of standardized testing and keep up with the funeral planning/events. One small mistake during standardized testing can result in a violation, which can mean the loss of the teaching certificate, disciplinary action or termination.

So now I am doing "mindless" tasks for a bit and looking at things on Pinterest or wherever that don't require so much concentration. The service is today at 1:00.

I really like the gold deer and glass table. The others, not so much.

@lolakimono

Very sorry for your loss. You have my condolences.

For a teacher you have a good eye for fashion & designing.

My mother is a retired teacher. She mainly taught 1st through 3rd grades. In fact I come from a family of teachers on my mother's side. None of them have your fashion eye.

Hi @lolakimono

First off, omgosh, I LOVE your posts! I am pretty new to the qvc forums, yet your posts captured me right away. From the handbag charm one, to the garden owls, to now this! I am always eager to read your next post!

As to the deer inspired furniture, would it fit in with my mediterranean styled furnishings? Nope, lol. BUT, I can certainly see one or two pieces addimg a whimsical touch say to an Aspen ski chalet, or to a modern rustic log cabin in Utah or Oregon, or to a home in a wooded, natural setting. I have a good friend outside of Augusta, who has a gorgeous Georgian style home (brick with massive white columns in front). She has a CUTE carved wood modern sculpture of a deer. I LOVE that deer. So cute!!! It stands about 3 ft tall. She has it in her glass porch/grrenhouse type room, where she has gorgeous flowers and plants. Does it fit in her decor? Sure does, beautifully!

I think these pieces you posted all look well crafted. I have a few pieces from Anthropologie in the family beach home.

One or two pieces with a touch of whimsical, modern, rustic, elegance in a fitting home. Why not? I say YAY.

@lolakimono

I like anything deer - anything animal - so some of this appeals to me.

I especially like the carved framed mirror.

I like the IDEA of the deer table but not the execution of this particular one.

Thank you for posting these pictures!

@lolakimono

I am so sorry to read about the death of your aunt. It can be especially difficult when you are separated by many miles.

I am glad you know how important it is to take some time for yourself. During the grief process it is quite natural for our minds to become foggy. I am sure your BF is supportive. I suggest he cook you a nice dinner while you open a good bottle of wine!

Wishing you peace at this sad time.

@magicmoodz

Thanks for the kind thoughts.

On Sunday I spent about two hours installing/reinstalling the software to get my copier/scanner/printer to speak wirelessly again to my computer so that I could scan in photos of my aunt and me and send them for the photo collage/video at the service. Then I had about 3 hours of papers/quizzes to grade, so I put BF in charge of dinner.

What was really funny (as in NOT FUNNY) was that on Sunday night he was pre-heating the oven for salmon and we heard a pop and saw flames above the heating element.

When it rains, it pours.

As a D-I-Y minded girl, I got the serial number and ordered a new heating element that night from some company online that I had never used before. They said "fast shipping", and of course the shipping was like 1/3 of what the part cost.

I never got a shipping confirmation, but on Tuesday when I got home from school, the package had arrived.

I went to spin class, came home ridiculously hot/sweaty, and decided to get to work on the five minutes it SHOULD have taken to change out the screws and pop the element back in.

Long story short, I was covered in oven gunk, trying to insert half of my body into the oven at weird angles for like an hour trying to get the screws to dislodge. I finally got them out, pulled the old element out, and the wire disappeared back into the land of cotton behind the stove. BF and I took turns in front of/behind the oven with flashlights, screwdrivers, drinking straws and tweezers trying to get the %&#@ wire to pop back out. It was like playing "Operation."

By the time I finally fixed it, we were both exhausted, it was after 8, and so he cooked eggs on the stovetop and I microwaved my dinner.

I did discover the burnt out oven bulb from who knows when (it is the only appliance that I didn't replace when I bought my house), so I pulled it out to get a replacement and compare the sizes.

About 30 minutes after all of this, I heard a pop, and Mr. Handsome had hopped on the island and knocked the burnt out bulb off and onto the tile floor.

I had a big glass of wine and then went to bed.

Last night we did get the oven up and running for dinner.

A few of them are a bit too Baphomet looking.

I could see using any of these in a home I was decorating for a male only living there. The first picture is really different and very cool!
