my wild side

so, let's just clear this up first...i am not the type of girl that goes camping, does outdoor type activites like hiking or likes a cabin type decor for my home.  but, a trend that has been strong and continues to keep people's interest is rustic/wilderness/nature.  i myself have even got caught up on this trend. {i recently bought a cardboard moose head for my son's play room which i still have to put together.} 

here are a few items that are inspired by nature.

shot glasses:  what better way to take part in this trend

{wouldn't this be a cute gift idea for the holidays}

i like the clean, modern lines of this chair contrasted with the natural material -wood of course

ok, this vase is a little overboard but it is nature inspired for sure

lastly, a far-fetched interpretation, but still provides a natural design element mixed with modern industrial goodness.

i don't know about you, but i think this is a pretty chic way to showcase your love for the wild, outdoors.  i found all of these items at chicago based stores, so here's some love for you chicago!

p.s. i'm almost done with my ottoman, stay tuned later in the week for the finished product.
