Living Room Decor

I am going to make a few posts today because my husband returns from his trip this evening and I will no longer have unlimited access to his laptop. Here is a very short post about my reptile and amphibian-themed living room decor.

We don't have much in the way of herp-theme decor in our living room. We have a "habitat stand" (basically an aquarium stand with a solid top and shelves underneath). Snakey's cage is on top of the stand. The shelves are filled with herp books and this little guy:

Isn't he cute? If you can't tell, he is a little frog bookend. I absolutely adore him :)

 And here is a very large (about 32in x 32in) painting of a little boy and a turtle. I bought it for $10 at a sidewalk sale. It was originally priced at $200 but it has a little chip in the frame so they threw it out with a bunch of other "damaged" paintings at the sale. I like it because it is currently right next to our Russian tortoise "enclosure" (a play pool filled with substrate and cage furniture, but more on that later).

Home Decor: Our Froggy Bathroom

When my husband and I first moved in together last year, I was surprised at the amount of reptile and amphibian-themed decor. Most of the things I could find were frog themed and were meant for children. Still, I never expected to find anything themed towards our slippery and scaly friends. Our apartment is now decorated with quite a bit of amphibian decor. We even have a froggy-themed bathroom!

I thought I would share some photos of the decor around our apartment. I will start with our bathroom. The items in our bathroom are more childish. The decor in our living room is a little bit more grown-up. Despite the fact that our bathroom is more child-friendly, our guests seem to get a kick out of it. I personally love our bathroom. I think the smiling frogs and bright green tones make the room very cheerful. I can't help but smile when I see those happy froggy faces!
