Not that rack. Even though it is rather large and I really wish it wasn't. Oh, sorry got off track there for a second. No, the rack I am talking about is my new rack of antlers. I have lots of small vintage roe deer antler trophies, but have been trying to find a large rack that was in my budget and I finally did.
I found this beauty on ebay several weeks ago from the seller that I have ordered all my other vintage antlers from.
I needed a large size rack to fill in the space above the fireplace and to draw the eye up.
When Mr. Savvy hung them for me he called me the great white hunter. Yes, dear, that's me. Poor man just doesn't get that this is a decorating style. I know many of y'all don't either.
This is the way it looked when I shared my
fall mantel recently.
Now with the new rack. I took out the box and grapes from the center of the mantel. It was just too much with the antlers, too.
I love them.
Joining the following:
Love the deer antlers! It's perfect on that tall wall.
ReplyDeleteI love deer antlers...I have a set of four them in my great room since my husband loves to hunt, I've learned to work them into the decor :)
ReplyDeleteThis rack looks perfect above your picture and fireplace...love it!
Of course I was thinking of the other rack and cracking up!! I bet Mr Savvy like saying "my wife's new rack". :)
ReplyDeleteLove them Kim. Mr. Savvy is funny. He should know we all hunt after our own fashion.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found some that were exactly what you wanted! They fill the space well :)
ReplyDeleteDitto on the too large, I hear ya lady! hehe
Pretty! I love that picture too!
ReplyDeleteYou're so funny! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all your antlers, you great white hunter. You incorporate them into your decor just beautifully. And this one does indeed draw the eye upward. Good call!
Your new rack of antliers is stunning and looks just perfect hung above your fireplace!!!!

I love them! It's the perfect accent for your fireplace wall. So glad that antlers have become popular for more than just the lodge look.
ReplyDeleteThey look great, and what do men know. LOL Great find, and they fit perfectly above the mantel.
ReplyDeleteThey look perfect there! I still haven't ordered any yet, but I've been checking them out on Ebay.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty, Kim. The antlers were just the right thing..Happy Thursday..Judy

Love the antlers, Kim. Very pretty over your mantel.
ReplyDeleteI think they look beautiful Kim and totally draw the eye up to show off the height of the room! Thanks so much for sharing this at Inspiration Friday! :-)
ReplyDeleteVanessa
Love, love, love the antlers. They look great!
ReplyDeleteThose are the perfect scale for your fireplace!! I love how there are mounted.
ReplyDeleteGreat mantle and wall. My husband would have loved having those!
ReplyDeleteWell, my rack is way too big too and I don't like it either:):) Your NEW rack is fabulous and it looks great where you have it. I love your style, Kim.
ReplyDeletelove the new antlers. Absolutely perfect there. I also still am in absolute love with that painting!
ReplyDeleteThey look great there! What a great find!
ReplyDeleteNice rack!!! Ha! I have been waiting to say that!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog and love all your beautiful photos and decorating ideas, but gotta say I just simply don't get the "antler thang". Don't like it at all.
ReplyDeleteI love them too, Kim. I keep hinting to everyone I know who has a hunter in their family that I would love for them to find some for me, but they always look at me like I have two heads! So does my hubby. Like yours - he just doesn't get it. I think they look great above your mantle and are perfect for drawing the eye up - just like you wanted.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, Your new rack looks lovely, lol. I bought a set of 5 faux antlers from Ballard Design last year and still love them. I don't think my husband gets it either.
ReplyDeleteLove the "rack", Kim! I too love antlers. I started my vast collection when I lived in Atlanta. My favorite shop Boxwoods in Buckhead turned me on to the vintage ones. I recently moved my collection. Did you see? http://uptownacorn.blogspot.com/2012/09/fall-brings-changean-antler-adjustment.html
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Kim,
ReplyDeletePerfect for that wall it bring the eye up. I love that picture too.
Cynthia
Oh, I get it ... & I love it!
ReplyDeleteCute blog. You had me giggling =)
I got confused which rack was too large and you wished it wasn't, so I'll just say I think the one on the wall looks fine.
ReplyDeleteBliss
It looks wonderful Kim. Your decorating skills are amazing. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI LOVE antlers in decor! I hope it never goes out of style!
ReplyDeleteWow Kim--absolutely magazine-worthy!
ReplyDeleteI luv the total aesthetic! Really luv the fp surround and its finish--is that one of your finishes too?!
Catherine
I guess you are the Great White Ebay Hunter. Looks perfect :)
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteI love them and I think they look beautiful. We all have our own style and that is what makes us and our homes unique.
Have a great weekend, Elizabeth
Kim, they look amazing in YOUR home. When I add them in MY house, I get the hebbie jebbies....:)
ReplyDeleteThey really do look lovely above your fireplace.
