A few weeks ago, after what seemed like a never-ending decor battle with my console table design layout {I know, so dramatic}, I decided that the wall above it, which is part of it, needed something that was pretty enough to draw attention but not so much as to distract the eye. It seemed like every mirror or work of art I hung or placed there became the focal point of the room, creating too much fuss, and it just wasn't working for me. It was then that I decided I needed something similar in color to the wall rather than contrasting it... and then as if from the heavens above, it finally hit me. A Juju hat was the obvious answer. Since around 2006 or so, I've been spotting these amazingly gorgeous, colorful and textured circular feather wall art pieces in decor magazines and then of course, on the internet.
