Wooly

I’ll admit that I’m a lover of all things fur.  I inherited my grandmother’s coats, and have a raccoon fur collar that I just LOVE.  I knew that when it came to decoorating our home, I had to have something in here remniscent of the abominable snowman…  But preferably a friendly version.

So many homes and home stores have touches of Mongolian Lambswool…  From small throws under $100 to incredible chairs in the $1000’s, there seems to be an option for every home and every budget.

As much as I would have loved going a little crazy- I considered reupholstering our 6 dining chairs in the shaggy, white fur- I knew that with our new living room furniture already leaning a bit to the feminine side, the Man would be less than thrilled to sit on a throne of fluffy goodness.  Instead, I brought in a piece that I knew I’d use and enjoy every day, and that has just the right amount of floof to not seem like I’d gone overboard.

Enter the ottoman.

Here she is, folks!  My spot.

This furry little guy from Etsy seller FurMythology is incredibly sturdy, incredibly soft, and seems to pull this corner together just right.  The small amount of Mongolian lambswool gives me the fur fix I needed, and makes this corner just seem complete.  While I still think fur-bottomed dining chairs would be so good, the Man might be right- it may be overkill.  This, however, is just enough that our living room still seems as if it houses a couple, not just a female, and the fact that I can kick my feet up on something this soft?  Its a bonus.
