ANIMAL PRINT INTERIORS - GOOD VS. EVIL

Happy Tuesday everyone! This is Jamie sitting here thinking about how something so right can go so terribly wrong. I'm talking animal prints. (Leopard, Zebra, Dalmation!) These patterns are continuing to be such a huge design trend,  but can be tricky to use without going what I like to call "Kardashian." Here are a few examples of  fab images vs. freaky to help us from veering over to the dark side.

FAB - So chic and understated. Hard for me to handle how gorgeous this is.

FREAKY - its important to remember that LESS is MORE :)

FAB - this image has been all over Pinterest - and I LOVE it. The magenta campaign, beautiful art, leopard chair. This is mixed and matched so well.

FREAKY - step away from "bed in a bag"

Enough Freaky, lets stick with FAB- like this snakeskin wingback.

And because I can't resist this. One more totally insane animal print. For the tiger in all of us. The description is Elegant Tiger Bedding. I know that ELEGANT is the first word that came into my mind when I saw this. I had this weird tangent thought that if I was dating someone and saw their place for the first time, peeked in the bedroom and saw this I would RUN out the door so fast. This duvet is a deal breaker.

Are you loving animal prints or leaving them?? We love them. When used the right way :).
