Go Wild: Animal Decor

Adding animal prints and imagery to spaces continues to be a popular decor trend, and one that we love!  This trend can fit any design style and can be as bold as you want.  Neutrally-toned western-inspired imagery can complete a modern farmhouse or boho design; a bright watercolor sea creature is a sweet addition to any wall, and; wild life artwork can be paired perfectly with fierce animal prints and saturated tones.  Celebrate your own pet by hanging similar artwork of them on your walls or just add imagery of your favorite animal!

Horses and Farm Animals

It’s no surprise that horse imagery is one of the most popular animal decor trends.  Whether your space is sleek and modern, rustic and Southwest-inspired, or a cozy farmhouse feel, images of horses, longhorns, deer and farm animals can add the finishing touches to your design.  You are sure to find animal artwork that suits your style and color palette!

Under The Sea

Artwork of ocean life can bring a coastal decor element to your room.  With imagery in different styles, sea creatures can add some relaxing or playful vibes to your design.  Mix them with a nautical-inspired space, a modern style, or a calm neutral space for a splash of the sea!

Wild Life

Take a walk on the wild side!  Wild life imagery can add a modern, global-inspired touch to your walls.  Mix it with a zebra print rug, deep jewel tones, or a mostly-neutral room for instant glam or a subtle cool flair.

Pet Friendly & Feathered Friends

The animal decor trend would not be complete without including artwork of dogs, cats, and birds.  The decor of furry and feathered friends can be a sweet addition to any space.  Whether you are inspired by your own pet or not, hanging some cute animal imagery can brighten your wall!

We love our pets!

At Third & Wall, some of our best friends are furry and walk on four legs.  Of course we’re talking about our beloved pets who are always by our side, no matter what.  They keep us entertained, give us lots of cuddles, comfort us, and sometimes make us go a little crazy, but we would do anything for them!  And because May was National Pet Month and we love (talking about) them so much, we wanted to share our pets with you!

Mee Mee

 

Debbie, an Account Manager at Third & Wall, has a sweet dog named Mee Mee May who is a 5 year-old Morkie.

 

Akira and Sadie

 

 

Account Manager Melissa has two babies are Akira and Sadie. Akira is almost 11. “I got her when I started with Third and Wall because I needed company at home. She is a feisty ‘old lady’ who does what she wants, when she wants but never leaves my side. She use to feel bad when she did something she knows she shouldn’t like getting into the trash or eating something off the counter but now she will just lick her chops and walk away.

“Now, Sadie, the best way to describe her is that she LOVES LOVE. She doesn’t care who it comes from, she will gladly accept all forms of attention. These three faces are how she sits and looks at me… on and off all day when she needs love. She is a big baby and hates thunder/fireworks and has been known to let herself out of the house and ONTO the roof to try and escape. She is a troublemaker and when she is not happy or feeling neglected, she will find a way to make it known.”

 

 

Our Creative Director Aimee’s dog is a one and a half year old lab. She is a high-energy dog who loves the outdoors!

 

 

Patti and Pippa

This is Patti’s little chihuahua/pug mix Pippa, getting ready to go out into the Buffalo winter and not very happy about it!  Patti, who’s our production specialist and Third & Wall artist, also has 2 cats and another dog, but she can’t get them all together for a group photo!

 

 

 

Alfie

Marisa, who works on our production team, has a rescued goofball of a pitbull mutt, Alfie. He loves mud, chomping on sticks, making friends with EVERYONE, and will roll over for belly rubs at the drop of a hat. Alfie thinks it’s his job is to

Marisa and Alfie

chase all the seagulls. Keep your pastries away from him, as he’s a notorious croissant thief. He’s also a scaredy cat and is afraid of kids, bath time and llamas.

 

 

Lupin

Zelda

Our Office Administrator Kayleigh has two kitties.  Zelda is a 7 year old female tabby and Lupin is a 5 year old male gray shorthair mix.  They both love to play and chase laser pointers.  She and her husband have taught them to do tricks for food, Lupin gives kisses and Zelda shakes. “Zelda went missing 5 years ago and was gone for 6 whole months before we found her.  Lupin has been described as the most muscular cat our vet has seen and Zelda is super soft and cuddly.  They both love bird watching and sleeping. Zelda’s favorite food is tortilla chips and Lupin’s is anything dairy related (he goes gaga over butter, cheese and ice cream the most).  We are sure not to give them much of either but boy do they think they deserve it all the time.”

 

We also have the cutest animal images in our Print-On-Demand collection and Photography collection, so you can celebrate your beloved animals all year long!

Just For Fun – The Third & Wall Menagerie

National Pet Month occurred earlier this year, but here at Third & Wall we’re all about our pets all year long! Many of our artists and employees are animal lovers, so we asked them to share photos of their furry friends.

LizAndTwinkle

 

Artist Liz Jardine says that her adorable Yorkie Twinkle has spent her entire 17 years of life in LIz’s studio watching Liz make her amazing creations. Her bed is on the table right next to Liz’s easel, so Twinkle doesn’t miss a thing!

UPDATE: We just learned that Twinkle has gone on to her next big adventure. Our love and condolences to you, Liz – what a long and amazing life that little girl had. Rest in peace, Twinkle.

 

KelseyDog

 

 

3&W Customer Service & Production Support goddess Kelsey Twiford recently adopted a sweet  dog named Bokkie, which is a term of endearment in Afrikaans. Bokkie was rescued from a brutal life on the streets in Thailand by The Bodhi Shelter in Phuket, Thailand, which rescues dogs and cats in Thailand and adopts them all over the world.  Welcome to your cushy new life, Bokkie!

3&W Photographer Keith Morgan says his cat Bruiser wasn’t happy about holding still to have his photo taken.

“Bruiser loves attention and is always trying to get someone to rub him, but he hates to be held or even be on anyone’s lap. Hes such a punk!”

LisaPinta3&W artist Lisa Ridgers says her pets have passed on. However, at her home in Spain she often absconds with her neighbor’s dog Pinta. Says Lisa, “They work very long hours and Pinta gets lonely. It has been awesome as we really miss our pets so much, but cannot have another while we travel so much. Pinta is a sweetie with a passion for long walks and sausages 🙂  Her name means Pint as in a pint of beer, presumably because she looks like one…hahaha!”

 

 

MeeMeeMay_LolaMay_DaisyMay

3&W Account Manager Debbie Germeaux calls her furry little trio “The May Girls” –  Mee Mee May, Lola May and Daisy May.

 

 

 

And last but not least, artist Brooke Borcherding says she doesn’t have any pets, but she has a “wild pet hummingbird” named Sally that visits her on her porch, even in the heart of the city!
