Fair and Square

Spot On Square Wall Art

You’ve finally discovered the trick to taming your little monkey: bribery. (Chocolate ice cream if you eat your veggies!)

Next time, promise your wild one a dog, cow, or pig from Spot On Square.

The playful animal faces add instant charm to any bedroom wall. There are seven characters to choose from, like Mies the mouse and Ray the cat, each cut in ecofriendly birch or bamboo, or engineered wood painted orange, gray, or white.

Buy just one or collect the whole menagerie. They’ll look great for years to come.

Long after feeding time at the zoo is over.

Available at Mod + Mini, 6025 Royal Lane, suite 114 (214-234-0992 or modandmini.com). To see styles, go to spotonsquare.com.
