I believe every room should have at least one thing that's jarring. It's the opportunity to make a space truly memorable and standout amongst a sea of boring homes.
So, I absolutely love that I've been stumbling across so many ostriches these days. It's an unexpected motif that leaves me both perplexed and smiling. A true conversation starter, they remind us that design shouldn't take itself too seriously and that whimsy is always welcome.
A whole wall of them! Now that's a healthy dose of sense of humor, if you ask me!
Wishing you a fun and relaxing weekend, loves! See you on Monday with a fantastic little giveaway! xo, Crystal

Ostriches - how unique!x
Oh wow! A motif I never thought about--adore it!
Ostriches are so cute !! Great post.
I love whimsical touches in a home and they ostrich wallpaper would qualify! When I was in South Africa I saw lots of ostriches and fell in love with their funny appeal. Hmmm...maybe I'll have to look into wallpapering a space with that wallpaper...it'd be fun in a half-bath or in a vacation home.
what a great eye for an emerging trend! i love the artwork in that first space and the wallpaper is delightful. seriously cool post. congratulations on the nesting newbies mention and have a great weekend!
I couldn't agree more..
I love the ostrich prints - a little quirky and lots of fun.
I love the details in these two pictures, Crystal! You have such an eye – you are truly meant to design...
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! I've missed seeing you – I truly wish we lived closer :)
