Quirky Homeware

Tuesday 2 August 2011

A couple of weekends ago, whilst taking a stroll around Covent Garden, I found my nose pressed up against the glass of quirky homeware store Pylones. I convinced myself that I could stick to my budget and just have a quick browse. I managed to restrain myself but only just. I checked out their website when I got home (purely for blog research, I wasn’t thinking of buying anything. Honest). Their stuff is pretty darn cool. What do you think of quirky homeware products? Do they have a place in your home?

  3. Definitely quirk...I think I'd like a hammer like that but stapler is quite scary!

  5. They have the best greeting cards too. I found myself buying a stack of greeting cards not because I needed them, but because they were so clever and funny.

  7. Those really are crazy...but for some reason, you still kinda feel yourself being drawn to them! I think I might actually want to own that adorable little grater...(c: But I think I'm going to have to resist, too, because the hubby would think I had lots my mind!

  10. I'm such a sucker for stuff like this. You're talking to someone who has a broom with a happy face on it. I am always meaning to start picking up a few Alessi pieces...you just reminded me! Wish that store was near me!
