unique

I love when I come across things for the home that are more on the unique side. The items that really catch my eye are the ones that are used for another purpose when in their ‘normal’ form. Whether it’s a tray, a paperweight, or just a coffee table accessory, I’m all about the eclectic mix for one’s home.

I could chew bubblegum all day, so you can imagine my excitement when I came across this glass bubblegum paperweight.

I always loved collecting pennies in a piggy bank when I was younger, and I think a chic one like this would be a perfect accessory in a home.

Board games are a favorite pastime of many, and I think a mega wooden dice would be so cool on a coffee table.

When I see balloons, I automatically think of a happy occasion, and sprucing up a wall with these glass balloons seems like such a fabulous idea.

I recently went to the eye doctor (and learned I need to wear my contacts or glasses at all times), so the eye chart only seemed fitting (and so great) for a drink tray.
