Roundup: Deer Motifs
Real deer can be real pests in the garden, but in the home they are near and dear. These animal motifs can melt my heart like Bambi with their regal silhouettes and hipster hunting lodge effects.
Take this Avalisa Deer Stretched Print ($59-159, available in six shades) with its simple lines and cute nature-inspired vibe.
Love It or Hate It? Acrylic Deer Candelabrum
I kind of love this Acrylic Deer Candelabrum ($175). It manages to put a new spin on the old animal motif theme, and look terrifically charming and holiday-appropriate with those gorgeous hand-rolled beeswax tapers. Of course, I think the candles are essential to pulling off this look.
Primer: Plants That Deer Don't Like
I recently showed you some tricks for repelling deer from your garden without pulling out your rifle. But probably the simplest way to keep Bambi away from your beloved plants is to choose plants that he doesn't find palatable. To begin, you should certainly avoid planting hostas, lilies, tulips, hollyhocks, impatiens, sunflowers, crocus, daylilies, lobelia, phlox, rose, and yews, which are deer faves.
How-To: Keeping Deer Out of Your Garden
Growing up in the country, deer and other creatures were daily visitors to my garden, nibbling and trampling upon everything in sight, and they often caused car accidents in the area. Needless to say, they're not my favorite forest creature. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to wait for deer season to keep them away from your casa; there are plenty of ways to keep them out of your garden without increasing your daily venison intake.
Love It or Hate It? Vintage Brass Deer Lamp
This Vintage Brass Deer in Repose Lamp ($1,295 ) rests on an acrylic base, which adds a bit of a modern touch to this rather traditional figure. Made in France in 1940, I have to admit I'm a fan. But then again, I have something of a deer problem.
Love It or Hate It? Avalisa Deer Rug
Oh deer — what's not to love about this Avalisa rug ($1,360 for 10-ft.-x-12-ft. size)? Made from hand-tufted New Zealand wool, it's bound to look good in a quirky design scheme or a very lucky child's playroom.

Love It or Hate It? Oh Deer!
PBTeen's Oh Deer! ($129) is obviously marketed to the teen audience in this shot, but I think that with a little tweaking, it could look charming in an adult home. I especially love the idea of using this iron-wire sculpture as a hanger for scarves and hats in an entry.
Love It or Hate It? Twin Cabled Buck
I hate to be a stickler for details, but shouldn't this be called the Twin Cabled Doe? Bucks have antlers, unless this Twin Cabled Buck ($650) has just shed his antlers for the Winter. In any case, it's sure to stay warm thanks to Portland artist Rachel Denny's wool cable knit covering.
Trend Alert: Reimagined Hunting Trophies
I'm willing to bet that most of you don't decorate with hunting trophies — those stuffed deer heads and mounted antlers typically found in lodges. I, for one, would never dream of hanging a deer head in my house. But I love that so many modern designers are reinterpreting the iconic look with antler-adorned accents.
Love It or Hate It? Plastidermy
We've seen the real thing, and versions in plaster and in wood. Now there's a decorative deer head rendered in plastic.
