Taxidermy Townhouse

[dr.girlfriend]

One of my sister's friends posted on Facebook that she is moving and wants to rent out their current place.  It's kind of a cool decorating style, but -- holy wow, how many dead animals can you fit in a two bedroom apartment?

I am horrified by the mountain goat and the peacock. Aside from the dead animals, it's kind of cool, but I am convinced at night this place becomes Jumanji or something, and I'd wake up to the mountain goat foraging in my pantry.

Also, why did they kill a peacock? (Or any of them, really, but I have never seen a taxidermied peacock.)

All of this and the kitchen taxidermied animals are really disturbing to me. That is not what I would want to see while cooking, but I don't eat meat.

OMG. That hyena is especially terrifying! Pretty place without all the dead animal trophies...nms

It looks like something from a Wes Anderson movie.

No expert but they look vintage to me. I think they are collectors, not hunters.

Ha- peacocks are damned annoying creatures to live with. They've gone and naturalized in FL, so you'll see one walking through the neighborhood every now and then. There's one really, really beautifully landscaped yard a few streets over where they like to congregate- the home owner (and fabulous landscaper/garden enthusiast) just sort of shrugs- there's not much you can do with them, you can't relocate them. Not that I would ever kill them- but, I can understand why people might be pushed that way.

BUT- I truly will never understand people who hunt for the trophy aspect (and collecting trophies is almost as creepy). And because people can't get past silly things like paint- it seems unwise to leave carcasses laying about while you're trying to find renters!

That is horrifying.

The baby ducks on the coffee table.

DH and I have been playing where is the animal in the house. I am equal parts fascinated and horrified.

Seriously. The big empty space in the middle of that blue room is also making me ^o)  .  I mean, it was probably just a pool table or something there, but it seems to be the only thing moved before they posted pics, so of course I'm imagining some Dexter-style kill table.

So wait, is she renting it furnished? Like, if I rent this apartment with a one-year lease I have to deal with being stared at by a hyena in the dining room?

I don't know, I kind of love it. But, I was looking for a specific deer head for several years, so I'm odd.

I never did find my deer head. It had to fit certain criteria, one of which was that it needed to look like it could start talking any minute.

I live in Montana where taxidermy seems to be in many houses and restaurants and that is so weird. I think because it's so minimalist everywhere else and then BOOM hyena wants to share your beet salad as you sit on a cow-hide chair.

Reading the comments without seeing the pics first was quite comical. Heading back to actually click the link now.
