Cool Find.... (or in this case "Weird Find"!)

I love stumbling across really cool things, especially for the home as I really want to totally redecorate our tired looking pad. I love the quirky and unusual, I don't want our home to look like every other house or even the cookie cutter display homes. I want it to be a place with character, yet uncluttered.

One blog I love reading is Feber / Hem. I have no idea what this means or anything they write as it's in Swedish I presume. But there are always cool finds to be had on this blog.

Anyway...............

The other day, it was more of a case of "weird finds".....



Like seriously, I understand the need to be able to put a water bottle holder on a bike, but a wine holder? Fancy having a swig while going on a bike ride? (if you happen to be one of those people, and I promise I won't judge you as I can be found doing weird stuff myself at times, it's available on etsy)

And I'd totally be petrified to sit on this chair. Well, that was until curiousity got the better of me and I found the site it originally came from and figured out how it worked. OK, weird to look at but it can work (info available from here if you are just as curious)

But this one kinda baffles me...... If I were a man, and believe me I'm not, which is probably why I don't get it, I don't think I'd want to know where the last man pee'd. I know men are a different breed, like no matter how old they are, they think farts are funny. But this kinda grosses me out. Usually the smell of a urinal is bad enough, but pee marks? OK, top marks for inventiveness.

Cool Find....

OK. So you and your significant other need a new living room rug. One wants a luxurious, worldly persian rug, whilst the other really wants a bear skin rug (I'm sure there is someone out there that wants one). You argue, you bicker, you fight.............

The solution?

A persian bear skin rug!!! Who would have thought of this? Talk about thinking out of the box!!

Another thing I miss trawling the net for is interior design ideas. We've been in this house for 10 years and never really decorated it properly. Yes, we have furniture, but it's really missing a personal design touch. All we have are paintings that I've painted and I'm kinda bored of those.



One thing I have come across that I HAVE to have and and have just ordered is this cute sign for the bathroom. As most people, when visitors ask to use the toilet, you direct them down the hall and try and describe which door is the toilet. Well, this little sign will be a dead giveaway that they've found the right room. I soooooooooooooo have to have this!! It's by an aussie company called Mooza designs. It's just so my style too :)

They also do house numbers (also ordered!) and words. I love their prints and designs.

What a stylish way to store your sneakers!!
