My home tour will be debuting next month on
The Everygirl (you already saw most of
my office!), but there are just a few finishing touches I need to get done around the apartment. Notably: art. The biggest decision for me in this place was what to hang above my living room couch. It's the focal point of the room, and it was going above my new couch baby (the Carlisle English roll arm sofa from Pottery Barn - my first
big furniture investment piece). I've been a
longtime fan of Sharon Montrose's
Animal Print Shop and was really excited at the thought of having two of her 17x22" photographs hanging there (they fit perfectly in my $25 Ikea frames)!
But have you seen Sharon's work...? There are
so many fantastic options!! It's taken me months to decide... Fortunately, the fact that I needed two vertical photos helped narrow it down significantly. So here's what I've come up with...
Who doesn't love a good animated gif? The room is completely neutral, so do I stick with that or throw in a touch of pink w/ those fun flamingos?
Which duo should I have as my new living room art?

An ostrick and her egg!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I really like the art you already have up there, but if you have your heart set on the animals, the flamingos are far and away the best choice! They're fun and a nice punch of color in a neutral room.
ReplyDeleteBaby zebra and tiger. Keep it neutral.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with the above comment. I also like the art you have up.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the pink tones of the flamingos!
ReplyDeleteostrich and egg! such a fun unexpected combo.
ReplyDeleteZebra & Tiger
ReplyDeletelove the flamingos, they add a great pop of colour
ReplyDeleteFlamingos!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not alone on this one - I love the ostrich + egg.
ReplyDeleteThe flamingos :)
ReplyDeleteFlamingos! They're fun and bright!
ReplyDeleteLove the two pink flamingos!
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to the ostrich and the egg.
ReplyDelete100% ostrich with the egg. It has so much unexpected character. I love the colors with your place too!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the flamingos. You could use a pop of color to offset all the neutrals!
ReplyDeleteFor my daughter's 5th birthday a few weeks ago, I bought two of Sharon's prints and they are amazing. And so hard to choose. I love the pop of pink the flamingos give your space.
ReplyDeleteyou can't go wrong with any, but i love the flamingos for a pop of color!
ReplyDeleteThe ostrich and her egg is awesome, but I like the zebra and the pink flamingo together the best.
ReplyDeleteI love the pop of pink with the black and white stripes, and their positioning makes them look like friends having a conversations. So random, but cool to pair them up together.
I really like the zebra and pink flamingo together too! I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the color with the flamingos!

Two pink flamingos!
ReplyDeleteThe two pink flamingos add a nice pop of color to your otherwise neutral space. Love those!
ReplyDeleteThe flamingos. I think the pop of color will definitely help the space. Though I must agree with some of the other comments, the art you already have is very nice as well.

The flamingos for sure! They're a great pop of color, without being an obvious "I'm looking for a pop of color" piece...if that makes any sense.
ReplyDeleteHands down the ostrich and the egg. I love it so much I might just get my own pair...
ReplyDeleteFlamingos all the way. A bit of color and the prints are so beautiful!

ReplyDeletethis post makes me giggle. i like the ostrich and her egg.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this post?! I vote flamingos, definitely.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Chelsea & The City
Honestly, I love them all. But there's something adorable about the ostrich and egg. I keep saying I'm going to get one of her prints, but I can't choose! Animated GIF was a great idea.

Flamingos for the win. I think it will be most relatable for your audience and the warm pink is fantastic with the rest of your slightly more masculine decor.
ReplyDeletedefinitely the pink flamingos for a pop of color!
ReplyDeleteflamingos! the zebra and tiger are way to baby nusery. I see those everywhere in the nurseries. Cute but not very chic
ReplyDeletelove the flamingos. Colour and unexpected!-fun!!
ReplyDeletedefinitely the flamingos!
ReplyDeleteI love your pieces but if you're going to change them then I vote for the flamingos, definitely!
ReplyDeleteThe flamingos for sure! I have them in my own living room (near my gray sofa!) and love them. Got to love those crazy pink birds!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool choices. I am into the Zebra and the Flamingo.
ReplyDeleteAh I kind of love the flamingos! A little pop of pink is always cool
ReplyDeleteI really love the two pieces you already have up there, but out of the animals my favorites are the flamingos! The pink adds a nice pop of color!
ReplyDeleteFlamingos all the way.
ReplyDeleteGo for the flamingos!!
ReplyDeleteOstrich and her egg!
ReplyDeletePink makes people happy! Flamingos!
ReplyDeletetwo pink flamingos!!!! SO cute and girly!
ReplyDeleteThe flamingos! Love the pop of color!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool! Love the baby zebra and tiger x
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 all the way - ostrich and her egg!
ReplyDeleteI vote either ostrich and egg OR
ReplyDeletezebra and flamingo!
i love the way the flamingo looks with the pink, but I think the ostrich and her egg because it's so different!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with some people who said it before - I really really think the original art you have hanging there now look so great.
ReplyDeleteBut I am sure you will make a good choice of any of the animal prints as well.
Good luck!:)
The flamingos would tie-in the pink in your office and your general sophisticated, girlie taste. I can't wait to see the big reveal!
ReplyDeleteThis is though. I really want to say the zebra/tiger combo because a) the patterns of their coats, especially the zebra, would compliment the rug so well and b) they're adorable! But it almost seems like it would be too matchy-matchy. So my vote goes to the flamingos: the black in their beak still ties in with tie rug but the pink really energizes the room (not that it's dull!) and adds a really unexpected touch.
ReplyDeletethe pink flamingos to tie the room a bit into your office.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the two flamingoes! I just bought a few of the babies for my daughter's playroom... they totally make the space!
ReplyDeleteAlso- where did you get that awesome black dotty pillow on the sofa?!
FLAMINGOS!!
ReplyDeleteOst and her egg. So unexpected and unpredictable.
ReplyDeleteLove the flamingos and the pop of pink they add :)
ReplyDeleteFlamingos for sure
ReplyDeleteSo, I promise I feel like a snoop and jerk even asking, but are you going to update us on what happened with the bf and apartment? You were sharing all this exciting work you did together, then just... stopped...
the pink flamingos for a pop of color!
ReplyDeleteGreat gif! Is Big Ben/Eiffel Tower not an option? Those were my favorite! The other three are awesome, too, so I don't think you can go wrong with any choice! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the flamingo pair! Love the touch of pink they add to the otherwise neutral room. Although for a bit of humor, the ostrich and egg are so fun. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these choices.
ReplyDeleteAs always, when choosing art, go with what you love best regardless of the space it will be in. ;-)
Flamingos!
