"i would love your help to finish my office. it's technically donny's :( and it's the one room he has design control over in the house-but it's hard because he wants it to be an outdoors theme. any suggestions w/o becoming too tacky?"
I definitely know the pain of a husband having design opinions. Zach has made many suggestions for our house including a red and silver color combo, hanging beads in lieu of doors, and using posters from Spencers. So an outdoors themed office is pretty mild in comparison.
I think the best way to approach Erin's dilemma is to use elements from nature as well as a few clean modern pieces so as to avoid the Bass Pro Shop look.

ReplyDeleteDon't worry...I face this same problem. Brady thinks he is going to put his big elk in our living room once he "gets one". I like this look, manly but doesn't look like you are in a wildlife museum! Also, thanks for the bathroom suggestions Erica! I love it, unfortunately I had already painted!
