Where are you on the animal-print loving scale? Way up a the top I-Have-Wall-to-Wall-Cheetah-Print-Carpet level? Somewhere further down the scale? Perhaps the I-Don’t-Mind-a-Tasteful-Girrafe-Print-Throw-Pillow-or-Two level? Or lower? The Animal-Print-No-Yikes-Ack-I’m-Scared level?
If you ARE scared, don’t be, darling. I suggest starting out with a little bit of zebra-print. Black and white, timeless pattern, it’s pretty easy to incorporate a touch or two anywhere for a dash of undomesticated drama.
Better After reader Sonya gave this formerly snoozy table a deep dark stain to complement the new zebra-patterned seats, and it looks ferocious!
But if you still can’t commit to full-blown animal print, how about something in the neighborhood? This stool makeover from Lura features a fabric that’s more ikat than wildcat, but still has that luxe look of animal print, especially against the gold. Rowr!
See it on her blog Domesticability.
