I’ve been adding a few little animals in unexpected places for a bit of whimsy and fun. Some of them guests stumble upon and it makes them laugh. I love that!


It started with a peacock table lamp that I couldn’t leave the store without. There was even a capiz lamp shade option. I have several other capiz light fixtures and I love the subtle beach vibe it adds. (My mom painted that beautiful tropical landscape!)


Next I spotted this animal head rack that I knew would be perfect in the boys’ bathroom where three people were sharing one hook! They boys thought it was great and quickly chose which animal would be theirs. I also finally gave each family member their own towel color, which has been very helpful. See the organizing YouTube video here.

I somehow stumbled across the most adorable mouse door holder that has ever existed. I mean look how sweet Harry is! I named him Harry. I put it off for awhile because we already had a doorstop for this door to the playroom that won’t stay open, but Harry was worth it. Makes me smile every time I walk past.

And finally look at this sweet decal of a mouse reading in his little mouse hole. I like to tell the kids’ friends to see if they can find the hidden mouse. I purposefully hid it in a random corner at the end of the hall for a fun discovery. What should we name him?
That’s it for now, but I know I’m not done yet. Which one is your favorite? Do you have any fun details in your home?
