Peacock Feathers Have Floated In

If your favorite design concept includes a little splash of the bohemian spirit, then you'll love the new peacock feathers that just floated into 505. We have hundreds of feathers and they aren't just your standard peacock feather either. Some of the feathers have dyed spines (red or lime green), some are bleached to a beautifully pale golden color, and some are are brilliant colored swords (yes, we have right and left swords!!!)

Peacock Feathers with red spines have a lot of pizazz!!!

I can't decide if I like them more than the lime green, but both would be beautiful at Christmas!

The right and left peacock swords are a brilliant blue/green color and look great in small vases, wreaths, and arrangements.

But my personal favorite are the bleached feathers with their velvety champayne display of monocromatic chicness!!

Look how a cluster of the feathers dress up a table with beauty and simplicity.

And if you think all the peacock feathers are beautiful, just wait until the other peacock items start showing up at 505!! (peacock chair, peacock vase, peacock fireplace screen, linen wall art with peacocks, metal peacocks, and carved peacocks with botanicals and feathers) Yes, I (reluctantly) admit I have a peacock problem, but...I don't think I'm the only one!

Oh, wow, I just remembered that two years ago I even designed a peacock bed. Perhaps there are some serious issues here!!

Animal Prints are Still Hot!!

Will animal prints ever go away? I really don't think so...they seem to have a life all their own and creep into every design style and room setting. Actually, today's animal prints are recognized as a design "neutral" and can be meshed with french country, rustic, traditional, modern, bohemian,--basically all styles of decor.

From rugs to upholstery to vases, exotic animal prints show up everywhere in design and make a room more luxe and fabulous! (You'll find them all over 505!!)

Check out the animal print rugs from Surya.
