What do you think?

 

I love zebras so I kind of like that they decorated it and made it part of their Christmas decor. (I am assuming this is a faux zebra. I would never want a real stuffed zebra or hunted animal, animal skin, animal head, or other animal part in my home.)

 

I would prefer one wreath placed higher above the fireplace instead of 3. That fireplace looks very detailed & ornate. This part of the room is definitely dark. Would be interesting to see the rest of the room, but I couldn’t find that. Maybe some white candles & lights instead of all red would lighten & brighten things up a bit?

What's the difference between a faux and a stuffed zebra?  I'm pretty sure that one isn't alive.  I like them too but they don't scream Christmas to me.

I love zebras but the fireplace, etc. is a little too ornate with too much Christmas decorations for me.

I love it.  The stripes on the zebra give the eye relief from all the fussiness.  I recently saw decorated Christmas trees with largish stuffed dalmations wearing santa hats, resting under the tree.    Same thing, it looked very good.

That has a magical, storybook quality, @wilma !   I can imagine a child as well as adults being just entranced by the whimsy and originality...

I love the Zebra.  But I agree that it is too much red.

@Another new name Sue, I love it! I like giraffes as much as you like zebras. Love incorporating things I love into my decor.  I think everyone should express  themselves when decorating instead of copying a magazine. So much more fun.

Don't like the zebra, one wreath would suffice and some of the candles need to be ivory or green.  Beautiful fireplace!
