Guest Picks: In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

When it’s no longer the holidays and still not very spring, it’s tricky to determine what sorts of special touches to add to the home. I believe that March is the perfect time to add some spunk to your decoration. These quirky lion and lamb pieces will add a little animal fun based on the famous adage in this season. I have chosen both artificial and nonfaux items, as it’s great to have options that will suit an assortment of discerning consumers. — Darlene out of Fieldstone Hill Style

Lulu & Georgia

Taupo Pillow, Lamb White – $35

Stately and serious? Or quirky and enjoyable? It depends upon whether you pair this lion’s head table lamp with a great deal of color and quirk or a reserved and sophisticated space. My vote is for color and quirk.
