Oh, Deer! I love the use of deer in decor.
Oh, Deer!
I am not referring to the faux deer heads that graced many a wall last year in an effort to be cool and hip.
Nor am I speaking about the “welcome to the cabin” look of the antler chandelier. If that is your thing you can go here.
No, I am talking about the sweet as saccharin deer. Pure kitsch. Like Deery Lou from Sanrio.
Wouldn’t this lamp look sweet in a nursery?
Or perhaps a shower curtain made from this fabric, Echino Woodland.
A deer head that I do like is this cute hat hanger.
Plenty of deer ephemera can be found on eBay.
Etsy has over two hundred listings for deer kitsch.
If you would like something temporary you could try this wall decal. 
But one of my favorite artists and a designer is who well known for the use of deer in his artwork is Tord Boontje. Most of America became familiar with this fabulous man when Target made the brilliant decision to have him design their 2006 Christmas line.
I first became aware of his lighting and streamer designs such as this lavender beauty around 2004.
I absolutely love these curtain panels. This is a closeup of one of the panels. Amazing.
My current favorite Tord Boontie design is the extra large wall graphic which was shown at the beginning of this post. It just makes me want to sing.
“Doe a deer, a female deer..” anyone?

I want those Bambi bookends and those darling cuddling birds with him in the back ground! I have the real deal living in my backyard! A beautiful doe has taken up residence in the bramble at the edge of our woods in the back yard. She nibble blossoms from our mimosa tree and drinks from our garden pond. She huffs, puffs, and stamps her feet if you disturb her.I FINALLY opened my package and I loved every little bit of it!!!!!! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness! I posted on my goodies today and left a link back to you!blessings dear friend!
I love Tord Boontje. Born in one of my favorite cities in Holland.:)My friend Anita sells those Deer Trays on her website. http://www.appareoexvotum.com/ibride-doe-tray.htmlThey are so cute!xo Lidy

Hi LauraThanks so much for visiitng my blog and leaving a comment! I do appreciate it!I love the deer lamp … so sweet!I have a very old deer shaped planter that I adore. It looks a little like the lamp base, only mine has some brown along with the yellow. I keep it on my kitchen window.

Such a wide range of formal to informal,a child’s room to your dinning room.Thanks for introducing it to me.I greatly appreciate your encouraging words on my blog.Please stop in again once it’s completed.

Oh I so loved looking at all the deer things. It reminded me of my Grandma’s home in Germany, she had a bit of deer kitch going on there. I really loved the birds with the deer in the background.Hugs!!!
