I am always on the lookout for different and unusual design. I like to understand the artist’s thought process, inspiration, vision, etc. When I came across these it was intriguing to say the least – a chair made out of mushrooms – it can’t be. Then I clicked on the link and found it most certainly was a chair made from mushroom. Better even this article shows the process in how they make their pieces out of mushroom. Absolutely Fascinating!

The Lego House
by James May
In August 2009, James May, currently known for co-presenter on Top Gear built a full-sized house out of Legos at Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey, UK. Legoland was to move it to their theme park, but plans for this fell through in September 2009 due to costs for deconstruction, shipping and rebuilding being too high. There was a Facebook appeal to save the Lego House, unfortunately it didn’t work out and the house was demolished on September 22, with the plastic bricks planned to be donated to charity.
Even the toothpaste and toothbrush are Legos!

Stumbled upon these on the HGTV Design Happens blog and couldn’t get them out of my head – retro wooden blocks now even better with the coolest designs. Uncle Goose makes hand-manufactured classic wood alphabet and design blocks. These are not your everyday ABC wooden blocks AND they are not just for kids anymore – These are cool! As I sifted through the site I loved them more and more especially when I ran into their Christmas blocks – being that I am a Christmas NuT.
Even better than the Christmas blocks they have beautiful ABC and mathematical blocks in braille as well as foreign language and really cool specialty blocks for home design!
These are on the list as soon as I know they won’t be destroyed by my children. Also, I think they would make a great hostess gift! All images via Uncle Goose.
Pinterest – Pinspiration Weekly Wrap-Up
25 Saturday May 2013
I haven’t been visiting this space as much as I would like. You know how it is…life gets in the way, you get busy and start making excuses for why it’s okay that you haven’t posted on your blog. Things like – no one will miss if I don’t write something – people aren’t interested – nobody reads it anyway – it’s just another recipe. However, that’s not why I blog – I blog to document my world, my life, my loves, all the cool things I find on this vast well of information. I blog for me.
So here is a pinch of my documentation as of late..
These look yummy! Don’t they? Of course I would have to adjust the vegetables rolled in the steak because I am married to the pickiest guy on the planet. Still, I think it might work so I’m going to give it a whirl.
Check out the recipe here.
And what about these, huh? Simple. Simple. Simple. I like simple.
Then a brand new kitchen to cook it all in.
I look at lots of pictures of kitchens and pin a lot of kitchens and I gotta say this is, by far, my favoritest kitchen EVER.
Get a look into this brilliant designer and see this kitchen bigger and better here.
Have a wonderful and safe Holiday weekend!
