The Modern Outdoorsman

Hunting is a huge sport in the Midwest in the fall.  Appreciating nature and the accomplishment of bringing home a trophy deer can make its way into a home’s decor.  The challenge sometimes is how to incorporate a modern approach to the natural environment, without making your home look like Bass Pro’s Outdoor World!

This wooden deer wall sculpture is an artistic approach to the full “Trophy Buck” head mount from the taxidermist.  Slightly less frightening to children and more approachable in the home or office, the rustic nature of the wood combined with the free-form construction could integrate into a transitional or moderately contemporary room as the unexpected conversation piece.

This elegant console cabinet is a sleek way to bring the outdoors in.  Modern striated wood, clean lines, and silver-patina branch accents make this a stunning, contemporary media cabinet while saluting the beauty of nature.

This gorgeous antique-gold finished branch lamp would meld nicely in both contemporary or traditional interiors.  The khaki shade has silver foiling for a crisp, luminescent glow.

Is big game your thing? Oh, these are so fun!  Cardboard trophy heads are whimsical and creative.  What a great idea for a child’s room, or for an ecclectic, bohemian-style apartment.
