Call the exterminator...

because unless they're metal, stone, painted, embroidered, or taxidermy, I don't want them. 

However, these insects can make themselves right at home...

Something I Need

This chair from Blackman Cruz is definitely something I need... bronze snakes. 

Need I say more?

 

I'm going to need a pair.

Blackman Cruz

One of my favorite things to do is to browse through the One Kings Lane Tastemaker Tag Sales. Periodically I'll find one or two things I really like, but today I've found a few things I don't think I can live without, and I've been introduced to a new retailer I'm obsessed with: Blackman Cruz. Get ready to be amazed... and really prepare yourself for the third image... I still haven't recovered.
