Tell Me Tuesday...Bam or Slam!

Big OL' BAM for global last week!
The majority of you agreed that you like the eclectic look of going global.

As I was reading through the October issue, of Elle Decor, I ran across an interesting trend in home design, one that I had not noticed...SNAKESKIN.

Have you noticed this trend yet? How do you feel about adding a little snakeskin to your decor? It is showing up on rugs, wallcoverings, plates, lamps, benches...everywhere.

    I was just thinking about this last night as I thumbed through my issue!! A qualified BAM for me-- in small doses, it's a very cool element.
    Happy Tuesday!!

    I had not noticed this new trend and now that you have pointed it out, I say SLAM! I am not a fan of snakeskin and not sure why.

    Everything in moderation, so I BAM to a hint of snakeskin (in, say, the form of a decorative tray).

    I like it, but when the colour is subtle, more of a tone on tone, so it's a textural look...BAM - x

    I have to agree with Ashely- in moderation- like VERY moderate. or your room will end up looking like Sneaky Petes Parlor and the big harry biker dudes will want to come hang out (where do i come up w/ this stuff?) I need more caffeine!

    slam for me- it reminds me of old ladies trying to act chic.... you know with fake blonde hair, tight paints, and loads of wrinkles. oh and hot pink lipstick.

    I'll have to pass on this trend. It creeps me out just a bit. Ok, it creeps me out a lot!

    Snakes are so creepy to me...I definitely don't want to be surrounded by their skin. Maybe in just a teeny, tiny little dose (picture frame maybe?). Slam.

    Big ol' sloppy wet kiss *BAM* on this one...just got myself a pair of snake print heels (with red trim no less!) and I am so in love...oh, and it's pretty fab for house stuff too...(c: hehehe...

    BAM! I think it's one more cool texture! The rug is way too much and maybe I like it because they don't creep me out. We have a cute guy (Sunny)who lives in our garden and suns himself on our big rock. :)

    I'm still loving last weeks look and have been in search of a Suzani piece of fabric ever since...found one, but it was $750... But the snake skin stuff...I really don't like snakes so i don't think I could embrace having it around my house.
