Zebra print, is like, so trendy right now. It’s popping up everywhere. But as hip as it is, I think it is also quite timeless. Maybe right now you are thinking of that girl at the gym who wears the zebra print bra under her sheer rhinestoned tank-top, and you are shaking your head in disagreement. (True, I have seen this myself. ‘Timeless’ wasn’t the first word that came to mind).
But forget about her for a second and consider that it is both an animal print, and black and white. Those two looks aren’t going anywhere! Also try to forget that a group of zebras is called a harem.
So, get ready for some wild zebra action!
First, a funky old thrift store chair gets a redo from Better After reader Tina. That before fabric design was kind of cool too, but the colors were kind of ew. Looks great now!
Zebra print lovers aren’t the type of people to go beige and boring, nope. Brecken decided the zebra print inserts in her wardrobe just weren’t enough, so the whole party got painted plum! Check it out on her blog Junque.
And finally here’s an oldie but a goodie from Camila at High Heeled Foot in the Door who literally takes a walk on the wild side every time she goes up her stairs. Ze–licious!
What about you, my friend? Have you zebra-fied anything lately? Or are you over it? Do you love you some animal print, or have a deep-seated aversion? Do you think that horses are jealous of zebras? Do tell.

I am in the process of painting a kiddie stool for my husband’s granddaughter and wanted to do zebra print on the sides but was kinda scared. Now I’m inspired! 🙂
