This week's design inspiration comes from one of my favorite quirky TV shows, Duck Dynasty!! Season 4 of Duck Dynasty kicked off last night and it got me thinking. For those of y'all that don't watch Duck Dynasty, you need to start, its hilarious. But let me fill you in...the show is about a big redneck family that became multimillionaires from their duck call making business. The guys in this family have big scruffy beards and are crazy hillbillies that spend all their free time hunting. Somehow they all managed to snag BEAUTIFUL, classy wives.

I started thinking.. (Even though I am sure this is not the case) what if they had a similar issue as me, where their husbands wanted to have an input in the home decor? What would that house look like? How could you possibly mix the tastes of cute, preppy stylish women with dirty, bearded, redneck men? Here is the solution I came up with...I'm calling this style the sophisticated hillbilly!
deer head...$335.00
coral chair...$349.00
drift wood lamp...$503.80
sheep skin rug...$197.99
stag print pillow...$20.00
coral damask pillow...$20.00
wood coffee table...$1,495.00
black tuffed sofa...$4,867.00
The entire design was centered around the black and white print paper deer head. Its a bold piece that immediately sets the tone for the whole room, and it is the perfect mixture of classy and country. I started off by keeping with the black and white color scheme. Black and white is classic, timeless, and so easy to work around. If you ever get tired of the design its easy to completely change the feel of the room by changing accessories and pops of color, while being able to keep the basic pieces of your room. I also wanted to stay with a natural material palette, which is why I chose to go with a leather sofa, sheep skin rug, and wood accessories. So while the selections have a sleek and sophisticated look, the materials help give the space a manly, "hunting cabin" feel. I then added in the coral chair, pillows, and flower arrangement to add a soft feminine touch to it. When you put all of these together you get a soft, modern, take on the hunter's decor.

For those of you who love this look, but are on a budget, I found an awesome DIY tutorial on making a paper deer head. the best part about this is that you can completely customize it in any color or pattern you wanted!
To see the tutorial, you can go to the chroniclebooks blog.
I love the idea of taking two opposing styles and putting them together. Do you know of any designs that do this? share them with me!
