I kind of have a thing for hardware.It could be an ugly door,dresser,cabinet or rack but this attention to detail I have I can overlook bad and adore something just because the knob,pull,handle or some other bit of hardware was appealing to the eyes.I often go without things for a long time because I don't see something I like.I'd rather not settle.I appreciate trying to find beauty in everything and appreciate people that pay attention to detail.
I mean down to the tiniest thing I am about it looking good.For example my husband once bought a cheap white boring soap dispenser for the bathroom.It was ugly and I smiled when the thing broke.I bought a much more attractive one that he raised an eyebrow over because it was $15.00 which he thought was nutty for a soap dispenser.Look if its going to be seen it should look good,right?Yes.Thank you for agreeing with me.*Note:if you're disagreeing with me please throat punch yourself in 3..2..1 GO!Did that smart?Yeah,serves you right,don't ever argue with me on my blog.*
There is no denying I spend a lot of time window shopping on the internet.Trust me if I could act on all the neat things I find I would but someone needs to tell my pocketbook to get with my program!I keep thinking of hooks I want to get for our place when the kids and I finally get up to Alaska.Given that won't be anytime soon but has that stopped me from looking already?Heck no!So here are a few of my favorites I thought I'd share with you.
Bats!I love bats!
How sweet is this lil tweet?!Very!
some rocking red roosters
Is this what they refer to as "whimsical"?Selling on etsy I can tell you I see that term overly abused to the point its comical.So do I know?Honestly I don't even know what that term means anymore at this point.What I do know is if I was a rabbit I'd probably want to hang out on the moon and chit chat a spell too.Rabbit and moon hook you are awfully cute
There are plenty more to see at www.TheHookLady.com but moving onto another site with fun hooks I bring you my personal love/hate Anthropologie.I love them because the stuff is cute.I hate them because even their clearance section is too expensive for me but the hardware,not so badly priced!Now a dress from them,pffft!Don't get me started!
Squirrel hook
Owl hook
Another site I could spend hours daydreaming on is www.Rejuvenation.com (seriously if you are looking to spruce up your place this site is chock full of vintage inspired pieces), here are a few hooks from there that a fab!
Art deco style hook.Simple yet stylish
the streamline hook,this also comes in white and black but I prefer it in the green
DISCLAIMER:if you happen to be looking at this at work DON'T go to those sites just yet.I swear you WILL get sucked in and I can't be held responsible if your boss catches on that you've spent your whole shift window shopping pretty things online instead of working and cans you.
i like all these hooks! I found a really cute cat tail hook out shopping with solonah and a really cute owl one in seattle but it wasn't for sale..boo
ReplyDeleteI totally agree don't settle for something ugly and practical, always goes for something beautiful!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah and thanks for sending me to yet another fabulous store that I can't get fabulous stuff shipped to the UK WHAAAAA!!
