The Closet Hippo

Hippo's may look cute and friendly, but they are actually quite vicious creatures. There is more to them than meets the eye. If you've ever felt like a hippo, misjudged or underestimated, you have something in common with the God of our universe. And yet, He doesn't write you off. He knows all about you and He is waiting for you to step up and be unashamed of who he created you to be, regardless of what others may think of you. Like a hippo, let's attack our perceptions of self and others.

Hippo Home Style

I had been eyeing this hippo bust on Modcloth for a very long time, and then when I finally had the money to buy it, they sold out. Several months ago I found it for a cheaper price on Amazon!

Me with my spirit animal :)

Diamonds are a girl's best friend? How about spray paint ;)

While the hippo does look nice white, I'm a girl who likes color, so I decided to go with something fabulous like metallic bronze.

I gave her some generous color.

And Voila! She is beautiful & ready to hang.

And this is why my home will never be featured in HGTV: I have an acrylic chandelier hanging over my lamp and the bust of a hippo hanging under a Maxwell Parish Print. Oh well, it makes me happy!
