I don't think that we've many salad days left this year. Boo hoo. However, and I know you'll probably be fed up hearing this, I've got a new dining room table and I've been on the hunt for some new cool looking tableware, and, I found this fabulous salad bowl.
This white ceramic teardrop shaped salad bowl would be just the thing to match up with any tableware you have. Also, those salad days needn't end, but if you need a change, this great looking bowl can also be used for hot food.
Result.
We've shown you the tray that doubles as a photograph frame, we've also shown you the clock that doubles as a photograph frame. Now we're going to show you a photograph frame. It's no ordinary photography frame though. It's a photograph frame shaped like............. a surf board!
Fabulous for all those surfers out there or for any beach themed room. Don't try and surf on it though because it really is just a photograph frame. Aww, sorry to disappoint you. I hope I haven't given it an inferiority complex!
Scare the bejesus out of those trick or treat guests with this spooky Death Wish Mirror.
Just line up your eyes and you'll only see the faintest of reflections in this macabre acrylic mirror.
Designed by Jeannie Choe and Steven Tomlinson can you keep your nerve and have a look?
I really like the photo frame clocks that are around at the moment. They're so versatile and can be used in lots of different rooms in the home. I particularly like this multi colour clock with plain clock face. It would look really cool in a kitchen, study or kids bedroom.
Also if you filled it with family holiday photographs it would make clock watching at work really enjoyable!
As if I clock watch at work! Ha!
This wooden photo tray would make a really personal, fun new house gift. The back of the tray slides open like a picture frame so you can insert pictures of your choice. It would make a lovely gift for newlyweds with pictures of the wedding. Or, how about inserting some personal newspaper announcements alongside pictures . You could even use some funky or comical advertisements. Use your imagination and you can make a precious keepsake. It's by Umbra and I love it.
Sometimes I find something that I'd dearly love myself and this Tuscan Tile Wine Holder is one of those things.
Made from 200 year old Tuscan roof tiles and stabilised with graceful, flowing metal grapevines this stunning wine holder has made number one on my Object of Desire list.
This would make a a lovely wedding gift but get your order in quickly because this gorgeous wine holder is on special limited quanties.
Beautiful.
I love chandeliers, I love chandeliers so much I'd say it twice, chandeliers, chandeliers! But I 'd never in a million years want this Rattus Norvegicus Rex chandelier.
Designed by Columbus it was created by prototyped rats 3-D scanned from a taxidermy piece, then slipcast in porcelain. And...... that's enough for me.
There's no way I'd want to be anywhere near this chandelier far less sit underneath it to enjoy a meal.
Nope, definitely not for me, not even at Halloween.
You all know that I've got a funky new glass dining room table and that I've been on tthe lookout for some unusual placemats to keep that modern look.
Well..... have a look at these really unusual slate placemats and coasters which are simply embellished with a delicate dandelion design. Beautiful don't ya think? Also you could personalise them by chalking the name or names of your dinner guests.
Use your imagination and make a game of it by chalking a favourite song or personal catch phrase on each placemat
If you're really talented how about drawing a caricature of each guest.
Slate placemats, I love them.
I'm totally lovin' this funky big apple fruit dish by Koziol. The chunky red plastic bowl with its green stalk looks fabulous holding fruit but it would be equally at home as a serving dish. Great as a red accent for the kitchen. Modern, functional and fun. Love it.
