Shelf Styling Refresh With This Cozy Pheasant

Do you like to switch things up around the house? Sharing this easy shelf styling refresh highlighting the cutest pheasant!

This elegant little guy can add a touch of sophistication to any shelf, whether it’s in your living room or your office. I am sharing what I used to create this unique look! It only took a few moments and in no time I had a completely new look on these shelves!

If you know me at all then you know that I really do not care for birds. I have spent years and years fighting them off of my front porch and I have just come to dislike them … up close anyway! But … I do still love to admire them from a distance. And …. I do still like to add the occasional ‘faux’ bird here and there around the house when I find on that I like! That is just what happened recently! I found the cutest, most charming pheasant (click here to see him up close) in the whole world and I wanted to share him with you.

I ran to Michaels a few days ago to grab some crafting supplies and this sweet dapper fellow happened to catch my eye. He is part of their new fall tabletop decor line and I was just drawn to him for some reason. The best part is that it turns out that he is under $15.00 bucks! At that price I knew that I just had to get him and style him up. And I knew that I wanted to find just the right shelf to put him on!

I mean, I do love to style a shelf! And the good thing is that shelf decorating does not have to be difficult. With a little creativity, you can easily transform a shelf into a work of art. To create this look, I simply decided where I wanted my pheasant on the shelf and arranged my other things around him. I tried to create a cohesive look by sticking with 2 main colors for the other pieces that I used: greenand brown. I varied the heights of the other pieces that I used and I added “interest” and “texture” with things like greenery.

This is very first ‘fall specific’ item that I have purchased (only because it was from Micheals fall line) this year and while it is still too early (in my opinion) to think about fall, I do feel that this particular bird is sort of time timeless and can work year round! There are a lot of ‘birds’ out there to choose from but this particular guy has got a great vintage look and won’t break the bank. Best part too is that he is a versatile nurtural color so he can work in a variety of spaces.

What do you think of my new little pheasant! Isn’t he the cutest! I hope that when you are out and about and you happen to see something that speaks to you that you’ll snag it and work it in to your home – in YOUR own way! And, I have found that shelf decorating is a great way to add these “personality pieces’ into your home. With just a little effort, you can easily create a beautiful and unique space that reflects your style and personality.

I searched around the web and found only a few pheasants out there! You can click on each photo below to learn more about each of these.

If you want recreate my specific look then here are a couple of other items that I used in this space as well! And remember – always be on the lookout at your local antique shops for items like these as well!
