I love their work but couldn’t quite handle the price tag. Ebay sells a lot of resin animal heads for about half the price of these. A few light layers of spray paint in the color of your choice and voila! Just a suggestion for those wanting the look while saving some $$.

I have a papier mache moose head I painted pale pink. It’s silly and fun and was cheap enough I won’t worry when I’m tired of the trend.

not a huge fan of the etsy crush posts.

I keep obsessively checking for the bedroom update! Thought I would comment while I am here. Again. *grin*

I’ve never been a huge taxidermy or even faux taxidermy fan, but that elephant head hit me where I live. I WANT IT.

I actually like these a lot. Sometimes it is fun to see not jus the things designers have done in their homes, but also the things that inspire them on a daily basis. And Etsy is a great place for personalized tweaking.

This is so great! I feel like I’ve been wanting something like this for a while but could never find it. So many options!

This trend isn’t for me. If it is for you, I definitely think faux is the way to go! The bright colors make it obvious it’s pure art & not trying to look like the real thing. I am curious to see what you will choose.

I would totally go faux! In fact, I already have – there’s a white rhino head (from Z Gallerie) above the toilet in my 1st floor half bath – he’s quite the conversation piece and our guests love him! Guys just have to be leery of leaning over too far – that horn sticks out pretty far! We like the cheeky, modern feel of our rhino, but would never have REAL taxidermy in our home.

I enjoy these posts because sometimes I have a hard time finding new things on that site and so far I not only want the stuff for myself but some things would make nice gifts as well. I appreciate them.

Love faux taxidermy, and I love these posts! Every week I have a new seller to add to my favorites list that I otherwise wouldn’t have come across. Thanks for sharing :)

I kind of like the bison with the glitter horns! It’s weird and strange, but also beautiful in its own strange way… You know I studied Biology and at the university (the Biology labs were in an old castle!) we had a room full of (real!) stuffed taxidermy and it was such a spooky place. (Now I wish I had taken photos…) I don’t like the other two white skull things there and I’m also not a huge fan of the pastel colored heads …

I’ve got a magenta stag head on my amazon wishlist (just waiting for pay day!) for my living room. I can’t wait to be THAT person.

Hanna–word. That’s exactly how I feel. Seeing what floats other folks’ boats is great fun and helps you to understand (to borrow an overused Project Runway phrase) their design aesthetic. I do Etsy round-ups on my blog too. Love making them; love seeing other bloggers do them. Keep ’em coming!

I just ordered a big white deer head from them. I’ll be hanging it next week in our mountain house – I’m so excited!!

LOVE THIS! I think you should put a bright pink resin one in your daughter’s room–the dark paint would really make it pop :-)
I just received my taxidermy deer head on Friday–but it’s paper/cardboard by MIHO. It’s pretty and another fun option. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008EINUBQ
By the way, I really like the gray in the master bedroom as well! I’ll have to check it out because I want to change the gray in my bedroom, too. I was afraid of going too dark, but of course the color I chose wasn’t dark enough.

I love these posts and I love faux taxidermy. We’re hoping to sell our cute little bungalow soon and I want our next house to be clean lined and mid-centuryish. I’ve been dreaming of a white or gold deer head for my new, imaginary house.
