The elephant in the room…
I love devouring every page of LONNY and do to a silly thing called work I’ve yet to finish the whole thing. I was happy to log on to High Street Market and see a little elephant staring back at me.
Looks like I’m not the only one with an elephant obsession. Courtney from Style Court seems to feel the same way as me!
I love picking up elephants from my travels as a little reminder of a trip, but I also have no shame in snatching them up from Pier 1 or my local Chinatown!
Here are some of my favorites:
These little guys are only $40 and calling my name.
Blue/White plus an elephant plus only $9.99! Ring me up please!
From the man that can do no wrong (Jonathan Adler) a chic elephant bank.
From my guilty pleasure source an Elephant teapot.
How is this not in my home already?
I tend to like my guys with their trunks up for good luck, but I do some around my house with their trunk facing down.
Do you have a little or a lot collection of elephants in your home?
I love pictures so share!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Did you see the elephant from Pier One in 9 by Design! Saw it and totally thought of you!
I love animal decor, but I don't have any elephants (yet!)
all these are lovely Camila!! I still need to check the new Lonny! cant wait!
Love love love this post! Elephants are my favorite animal & although I don't collect elephant things, I do frequently buy them when I see them 🙂
I am living in Germany with my soldier husband ♥ & recently found an elephant very very similar to the one you have pictured last here. I bought it for 5 euro, or about $8. It's fantastic! They had more than one…I might have to go back for another!

I love ceramic elephants. I picked some up from the thrift store last year.
They had toooons.

Hey – I would love to get your opinions on rug designs over at my blog! I'm asking for opinions on what styles people like best, and what designers want to see right now. 😉
Just found this one on etsy. so cool! http://www.etsy.com/listing/49180447/large-vintage-brass-elephant?ref=cat2_gallery_9
My husband is Cuban and they consider it good luck to have a elephant with his butt facing the door in a room….
The JA elephant bank is too cute!
Actually, I was going to email you about elephants this weekend!! We're doing a Babar theme for the babies' corner in our bedroom, and I'm looking for inexpensive elephant-y bookends. Probably in white or bright green or maybe even bright red? Any ideas for a source??
Oh elephants are sooo wonderful, they have been my favorite for years, I have a million of them, I guess I am finally cool huh?
love the JA elephant! i met him yesterday at my new internship and he is just as fabulous in person 🙂 have a lovely weekend, camila!
@ Tara–Try Barnes and Noble. That's where I bought mine. They are bronze, though, but I am sure you can paint them. I just haven't worked up the nerve to do it!
Cam–you know I have elephants in my house! I only buy ones with the trunk up. 🙂
