Quirky Touches For The Home

We are always in search of affordable, quirky items for the home to fill the shop.  I was recently going through some old pictures and was amazed at all the funky finds we've had at the store over the years.  Here are a few of our favorite unique pieces in no particular order.

The first is a picture of our old location, but what I really want you to see is the gigantic, antique fishing net that was about 10 feet long.  We had three of these and they were one of the most unique items we came across. It offered a terrific opportunity to add scale and texture to a room without taking up too much space.

The old Humble Home location.  The gigantic, antique fishing net was one of my favorite quirky items.

The next item was small, but I loved its simplicity.  These could be used for anything.  It's the perfect combination of form and function, and it adds a shot of glam at just the right moment.

The lamp below is so Jonathan Adler.  I did change the color to white and later added a black shade which made it pop all the more.  And yes, I have to admit to having a slight "Godfather" moment.

It was something about this trash can that really attracted me.  The knobby texture added an almost surreal quality.  It is glam and crafty at the same time.  Needless to say, it didn't last long in the store.

Words can't describe how much I loved this table.  The marble top just sparkled!  It was a lot of hard work getting it to look this way, but boy was it worth it.  It only lasted two days in the store, but it went to a great home.  Did a mention it may appear in a movie?  Well, that's another post.

Regency inspired marble coffee table...stunning.  It initially said 1970, but I say fabulous.

Little unique touches like these create a home that reflects you...your values, taste, and creativity. Your home should be the one place that makes you feel safe and content, surrounded by items that evoke memories and  hint at your dreams for the future.
