a home decor menagerie

It seems that everywhere you look these days there are little animals looking for someone to take them home and love them. Luckily these animals don't need to be fed, bathed or walked since they tend to be made of ceramic or metal. Everyone from Z Gallerie to West Elm and especially Jonathan Adler are becoming faux animal shelters where one could go and take their pick of a growing number of household pets and wild ones, too.





Want your own little pet but don't want to fork out loads of dough? Stop by your local GoodWill or other various thrift shops and look for any animal figurine you take a liking to. Don't worry about the terrible paint job. Modernize it with a clean coat of glossy white spray paint or any other color that suites your decor.
