Sheep Sculpture

I've talked about the artists who designed this sheep at length on CasaSugar before. (I spotted the sheep last week at the Kips Bay Show House in New York.) It was designed by a French sculptor couple, about whom there was a major exhibit last year at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris. Can you guess who? Name either the husband, wife, or their last name. Read more

Get the Look: A Bright, White Dining and Living Space

I love the stark, white look of this open plan dining and living space. From the sleek white walls to the whitewashed floors and furniture, the whole look is calm, soothing, and pristine. And while it may be white, it's certainly not dull. I love the charming sheep statue in the dining area, as well as the minimalist canvas on the wall. For similar artwork, check galleries in your hometown for Read more

Flashback: Baaaaad '70s Music

Adrian Munsey Sings "The Lost Sheep"

Or is it really that baaaaad? Consider all the repetitive pop music out nowadays and then listen to this little ditty from the '70s. Same difference. By today's standards, this song has what it takes to become a chart-topping hit: easy lyrics, a catchy chorus, no vocal talent whatsoever, and enough animal role-playing to make it big-time sexytime. I can hear it on TRL already. Read more

So, excluding those furry, feathered, and finned friends that live inside, I'd love to hear either what you have or what you'd crave! Source Farm Animals in Your Fam?
