I had to decorate around dead animals. My Hubby has 3 deer, 2 elk, 1 red fox, and 1 turkey mounts on the den walls. We have a set of long horns on the wall and a huge cowhide on the floor. So, I've carried the "earthy" theme throughout the house. Almost every room is painted some tone of brown - tan/almond/gold.

Bedroom furniture matches in each individual room and the dining room finally matches, but the den and my sewing room are lovingly mismatched.

I'm still in a declutter mode, so I've made notes to things to pack away when I can walk again. I have too many pictures on my walls. I need to sort them out. Each of the kids has a wall in the dining room for pictures. I put one big picture of them in the middle and smaller ones surrounding that of them and their families. So the walls are almost full (halfway up). There's easily 100 framed pictures in there.

I've done collections of butterflies, lighthouses, thimbles, dolls, and plates. I sold the butterflies and thimbles. The lighthouses, plates and dolls are packed away.
