The Elephant in the Room

Happy Monday!

I’m recovering from a busy weekend with my parents in town and my youngest son’s confirmation. Seems like just yesterday he was baptized and now he’s confirmed and headed for Europe with his Youth Group this summer. Yowza.

Anyhoo, I thought I’d share something fun today, while I finish up editing the mass of photos from my February DIYs. The last couple of months while I’ve been out and about and trolling Pinterest, I’ve seen elephants cropping up everywhere in home decor.  Have you?   And I started thinking that maybe the elephant is the owl of 2013.  Or maybe I’ve been in La La Land and they’ve always been popping up here and there?

Either way, I remembered my sad little 2001 brushed gold elephants on my bookshelves and that’s when this happened…

resulting in this…

And just so you know… she’s not the only one.  Elephant that’s been spray painted, I mean.   Once you spray paint one, you might as well spray paint a few.

I couldn’t help but start a little Pinterest board and thought I’d share a few of the images that have me embracing the elephant in the room.

 

 

What a fun pop of color!

This would be so cute in a playroom!

 

I’d love to see a few of these as accent tiles in a backsplash.

 

Conversation pieces for the outdoor retreat?

 

Yes, please. Fantastic color palette.

 

Brass is back, people.

 

Elephant done right.

 

The 70s called and they’d like to come visit their lacquered elephant chairs. No, they can’t have them back.

And my favorite…

 

I want. that. table.

It would have to appear while the hubs is away hunting or fishing though. 🙂

Are you feeling elephants these days??

Back with more DIYs later this week! Told ya February was my month of DIYs. Enjoy the day, friends!
