Wildlife Wall Decor

A friend of mine once said to me, “A Moose looks like it is made of leftover parts.”  With their large bodies, spindly legs and huge antlers, I am inclined to agree, but I still think they are striking animals.  The moose I remember most is the one ambling through the opening credits of the TV show “Northern Exposure” several years back, and of course, even further back, Bullwinkle from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons.  Moose are represented frequently in popular culture, as cartoon characters and logos, and symbols of strength and audacity.

If actual moose have proved elusive when you were out hunting or you just want something to hang next to the antlers, Mr. Ed’s has moose decor that will look fantastic.  There are also moose lamps, clocks, and other accessories to complement the look.

Maybe you know a veteran or fireman that you would like to honor with some wall décor.  Mr. Ed’s Wild Frontier has etched glass mirrors to honor their service like nothing you will find anywhere else.

Whether depicting the insignia for their branch of the military or Fire Department, the fireman’s axe, or the majestic eagle, these beautiful mirrors will become a treasured keepsake for your favorite patriot.

Memories at Grandma’s home as a child are filled with visions of her love and hospitality.  Every room in her house expressed her character and personal commitment to family and friends. The focal point that captured everyone’s imagination was the coffee table, in front of the sofa.  Should it be made of solid carved hard wood, polished marble or an etched glass table top, it would bring many personal messages about the owner. It might be a message of hope, faith, love, or a religious or patriotic heritage.  The message is shared with every guest that enters the home.  A reflection to every generation for as long as the table endures time.   What message will we leave for our future generations?   Will it be encouragement within the family’s commitment? Or a legacy of laws and justice sealed over forgiveness?  True strength abounds in the sweet joy of peace and happiness;  While colors harmonize and blend on a canvas of meekness. Then, let us not forget the sacrificial price paid for it all.

Every man has or at least needs a good hunting story.  The story I’m telling you is true.  I was holding down a deer stand in the hills in northwest Nevada in 1953.  A group of friends of my Dad was circling the mountain across from where I stood.  The idea was to drive any deer my direction.

After waiting in the cold wind for several hours, my hands and feet were almost frozen.  Suddenly, a small herd of doe and 2 bucks drifted through the draw, and I aimed a 3030 Winchester rifle at the deer . . . hoping for a hit.  My dad’s friends didn’t tell me that the rifle didn’t carry 1000 yards without aiming very high.

“Buck Fever” took control of my spirit, and after ten rounds, only one shot came close to the belly of one of the bucks.  The herd drifted away from me over the top of the ridge.  This was my first and last deer hunt.  When the men arrived, they all had a good laugh!  I overheard one of the men comment, “Where’s the War?”

There’s more to this story.  This is another reason why I appreciate good wildlife wall art and great phototography of nature scenes, rather than killing the animals that live there. 

Most people will appreciate a gift bearing their name, especially if they have an unusual enough name that it is not often seen on the personalized items that are seen in many stores.

Etched mirrors are available with personalization in a number of themes, including cabins, homes, porches, ballerinas and palm trees.  There are also personalized mantel clocks available that would make the perfect finishing touch for any fireplace or bookshelf.

There are so many unique lighting solutions for your home that you may not be able to find at any local store.  The Internet is full of lamps and luminaries with such unique designs that their creativity will astound you.  

If you like rustic décor, there are many lighting options to complement your home motif.  Animals, arrows, fly fishing, log cabins, crosses, moons, and many other wildlife art themes are out there to illuminate your home with warmth.
