I know you're secretly jealous

Living in the south and being married to an avid hunter gives me the advantage. Why's that? Because our sun room has become the catch-all for hunting gear. Since I've taken over the guest bedroom as my closet, I figured he could have the sun room and so far, I think he's personalized it well.

Ten points to those of you who spotted the two sets of deer antlers.

Surprisingly, the camo furniture is extremely comfortable. Now, don't go thinking you can pick one of these up at your local furniture store, this baby was custom ordered. He conveniently bought it right before we got engaged. Funny how that works, huh?

I know you may be wondering and yes, there is a matching couch but it's also covered in hunting paraphernalia. You'll just have to use your imagination to picture the sheer awesomeness of my house.

I'm a vegetarian and when I first went to the hubby's apartment when we were dating he had a bear rug. A BEAR. MADE INTO A RUG. I have made him swear to me that it is fake. Although once we bought a house and moved our stuff in a skull has magically appeared. Sigh.

Anni said...

Oooh, I win! I spotted both sets. ;)

I wouldn't recommend this to just anyone, but my best trick ever for getting rid of the "what were you thinking?" furniture was moving to a smaller apartment. I know it's not an option for you guys, but hey, I love my 650 square feet and pretty furniture.

This is brilliant.

Suze said...

Neely said...

Jennifer B said...

Can I come live with you?

vintch said...

hehe i've seen many of these lovelies around north carolina. how does your husband spot the chair and know where to sit? it's camo prowess must not be working properly! i think it's fabulous:)

conventionalbliss said...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... you're in hunting season all year long! :) CAN'T WAIT FOR HUNTING SEASON 2011 HOAAA!

Mrs. Adventure said...

I totally spotted both sets before you even mentioned them :+)

You sure are a lucky girl ha ha. At least you get a whole room as your closet... I wanted to do that in the moroccan but hubs wouldn't have it. I am glad to have the moroccan now, one day I'll get my big ass closet ha ha.

Lauren said...

Ha ha ha, that is hilarious. I think I'll take the ultimate frisbee obsession my husband has over hunting. At least you 'compromised' and each have a room.

Jessica said...

That is awesome!

BigAppleNosh said...

Whooooa!

Rebekah said...

Oh my gosh, this is my husband's dream! He's dying for a man cave which we have space for, but I refuse to buy furniture for that until we buy new furniture for the living room. He loves camo everything. :)

Hannah said...

While I'm glad my hubby isn't a hunter I'm equally as glad that a lot of my friends are!! I think its awesome.

Nicole said...

We have a deer skin rug... it has the ears and everything... I bet it'd go great in his man cave... I'd rather the cowskin chairs myself!!

Megan said...

Oh my gosh, love this!! We have been in arguments over why he can't put "his decorations" in the house. Haha. I finally let him have a "man room!"

nicole-j-knocked-up said...

What, no pictures of the slaughter house garage? LOL Kev is a great guy you are lucky to have him and that stylish custom made furniture :)

Caroline said...

At least it's contained to one room. It could be worse!

Dancy said...

Haha -- poor guy. I think every home should have a "man-land". We only have a 1bdrm apt but I told D once we have a 2bdrm (before baby) or a house he can do whatever he wants... with the basement. LOL

Krysten @ After 'I Do' said...

Oh gosh lol.

Megan said...

lol! men and their hunting stuff. Hunting is SO not my thing, so I'm glad my hubby isn't into it. You're such a good wife for letting him have "his" space too :)

Marissa said...

BUAHAHHAHA - That chair is R.A.D., I can only imagine how awesome the couch is! Oh and how excited you were for those pieces to be a part of your home - good thing they're (I"m assuming the couch is) comfortable :)

Mr. and Mrs. Smith said...

As a gal who grew up with deer heads on the wall, I can totally appreciate this. And appreciate the fact that my husband doesn't hunt! Score :)

Northern VA Bride To Be! said...

Atta girl! Loving the new page, btw!

steph c said...

You're a better wife than I'll ever be. That would. not. happen. in my house. No way.

But I totally saw the deer antlers!

Annie said...

My hubby would be in heaven in your sunroom :)

Ashley said...

Oh wow. That is pretty fantastic! Hahaha!

Tiffany said...

hmmm sounds like pretty much every mad I have EVER dated. Gotta love life in the south.
O and I def spotted both sets of antlers.

Cole said...

Oh my goodness, you are a way better wife than I am. That would have "disappeared" during our move. Actually, I can't say that for certain since Jus has a "guitar room" so it might have just moved in there.

Tara said...

My dad is a hunter so I'm used to stuff like this...but I have my own house now, so no dead animals heads, nothing camo print! :)

Marissa {Petal and Ink} said...

OMG. I would DIE!!! Jeff once tried to bring a stuffed elk head home, but I threatened to withhold sex. Actually, I've done that every time he wants to decorate with something I don't like and it has worked so far! ;]

But, now our roomie has put up some stuffed fish in his living room. I don't go in there.

PS, totally loving your blog makeover!

EmilyB said...

You're a good woman, Jess.

xoelizabethlou said...

Don't show this to my hubs....he will want one!!

lavenderpug said...

that's awesome. well, at least it's comfortable, and it's in his room, where you don't have to see it? heehee.

Smiling is Good for Your Teeth said...

i was definitely going to mention the antlers in my comment!! woohoo, 10 points for me..and I am LOVING your chair! :-)

claire said...

Oh god, my blue big bertha couch would be a better sigh than this one. I hear you on the decoration thing. I have every room visible to anyone, and he has the man cave in the basement.

I find that to be fair :)
