Chi Chi Loius

Just another day at work! Meet Chi Chi Louis!
While installing some window treatments for a cowgirl client, she pulled me aside and paused a moment... then asked, "Erika, do you think your installers could hang something else for me?"

My installers will hang just about anything, "of course!" I responded thinking it was a piece of art or a mirror.

She began to try and describe to me what we were about to hang, then gave up and said, "I think I'll just have to show you." She led me up to the game room and there, hanging proud was the head of a true Texas Longhorn. "That?" she asked again.

Of course I was surprised; I had never (in a million years) thought I'd be hanging a mounted cow.  But it fit the client and her new space perfectly. She is a cowgirl complete with boots with spurs on them (I discovered that following her one day and could hear the rattle every time she took a step). 

Chi Chi Louis (as my client's grandson named the Longhorn) is perfectly placed!

Fun fact... This is a true Texas Longhorn. The longhorns you see with the giant horns are actually hybrids :)
