colonial homes decorating

What do you think of this ewe bench? What would think if you saw it in someones house?
I love it and I think I am going to ask my husband to get if for me for Christmas. (Keep in mind that I love this french/victorian style… and I collect toys and dolls.)
Do you think that I am completely insane? I just LOVE it!
I showed my co-worker and she just laughed at me- she thought it was hysterical but couldn’t believe someone would buy it.

What would you think walking into my home???- which is colonial home decorated heavy with victorian European influences- so I don’t have a typical home decor to begin with.
I think if you have a bit of a country style thing going on, or probably a victorian theme this wouldn’t look half as bad.
Plus I think it would be a great prank on new visitors you could probably get a lot of people thinking whether or not this thing was a real sheep or not…
