You've got to love a great garage sale find. I was so excited when I found a set of steer horns last week at a sale for $25.
Finds like this excite me because it allows me to follow current decor trends without spending a lot and then feeling guilty after the trend has run it's course.
After they got a mini-makeover, I hung them in my Dining Room/Home Office.
This is what they looked like when I found them....
(Before)
Krylon paint sticks to anything. I taped my horns with painters tape and gave the trim two coats of off white spray paint.
(After)
Here are a few horn inspiration collages. All images courtesy of Pinterest.
Isn't this a great idea? Antler jewelry display.
Silver antler mount...love it.
How cute is this? Decorate your antlers for Christmas.
One Kings Lane and West Elm have really cool taxidermy art pieces.

Taxidermy is a great conversation piece. These horns have stirred up a lot of controversy in our home. Some of of us love them and the others "don't get it". What do you think?

ReplyDeleteI found your blog fairly recently and love all of your ideas. Except this one. :) Count me on the side that doesn't get (or like) the taxidermy decor at all!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great with the white. I love me some taxidermy:)
ReplyDeleteLooks a ton better with the white however I am thumbs down with taxidermy ;)
ReplyDeletelooks beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHaving a husband that is an avid hunter, I have grown to love taxidermy! I totally get it! :)
ReplyDeleteCount me in with Anonymous #2: Husband, taxidermy (lots of it!) in his study (but ONLY in his study) ... I get it!
ReplyDeleteStop by if you get a chance. My Vintage Linen & Dish Auction starts Thursday. Just click the auction button on my sidebar for details!
It depends on the piece for me, but I LOVE what you did w/ your horns :)
ReplyDeleteLove the horns! Great idea! Thanks for linking up with Lemon Tree Creations today!
ReplyDeleteWeird question for you, if you've got time to answer it. We've been looking for a picture frame to hold a ton of pictures in it, just like the one you've got in this post. Any idea where it came from? My grandpa wants one for pictures of his grandkids. Thanks!
