Etsy Finds: Sea Creatures
I spent a good part of this past weekend hanging out near the ocean, and while there were no whale or walrus sightings, I was inspired to see how these cool creatures could dress up my home. Check out my Etsy favorites when it comes to sea creatures.

Roundup: Get Foxy
Are foxes the new It animal in the decorating world? From the amount of these sly creatures I've found in catalogs and art sites lately, my answer is yes. It also doesn't hurt that Wes Anderson's new movie The Fantastic Mr. Fox features a too-cool fox voiced by the always awesome George Clooney.
Love It or Hate It? Diane von Furstenberg Leopard Rug
Talk about animal magnetism. This Diane von Furstenberg Leopard Rug (inquire for price) is the kind of carpet that will define an entire room. Can you see laying it down in your house?
Love It or Hate It: Carlos Night Light
Love dogs but can't have one in your home? Then maybe the Carlos Night Light is the perfect compromise. This small porcelain night light emits a warm glow when it's switched on, and won't wake you up in the middle of the night to be let out of doors.
Cool Idea: An Interactive Trash Bin
British fashion designer Paul Smith and Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic today unveiled a five-foot "rabbit bin." Whenever a passerby drops rubbish in the bin, the bunny's ears light up. The bunny is part of the Design Museum Super Contemporary Exhibition in Covent Garden.
Guess What This Crafting Technique Is Called?
This sleeping fox pillow was stitched using a technique favored by heroines in Jane Austen novels. I’ve also recently posted about its resurgence in the home décor world. What is it called?
Roundup: Seafaring
I love the old-time look of the illustrated ship on this new Thomas Paul Pillow ($80). Made from jute, it would look great on a slipcovered sofa in a Summer cottage overlooking the sea. I was inspired to see what other similar seafaring items I could come with, and I discovered some great artwork from Lisa Congdon, as well as some other charming whale and ship accents.
Love It or Hate It? Leopard Print Staircase
While it's not my style, I do admire interior designer Miles Redd's use of this leopard print runner on these highly polished stairs. And who can turn up her nose at the playful animal theme that's echoed in the clawfoot console table?

Roundup: The House Bunny
If you're in favor of hares in your house, even outside of the Easter season, then you'll want to check out my favorite bunny home accents. One of my absolute favorite bunny finds is the Moooi Rabbit Lamp ($539). These ridiculous rabbits look as if they're trying to disguise themselves with their matching lampshades.
Roundup: Chic Chicks
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Well, in the case of the order of my Easter-themed roundups, the chicks come first. From cute puffy chicks to strutting roosters, there's a lot of cute, chic chicks to choose from this Spring.
