Well it’s that time of the week again, and this time I’ve found some real crackers. From bizarre Korean furniture to the most realistic fireplace noise generator you’ll ever come across (honest), the blogosphere has again yielded a plethora of interesting titbits to chew on, so see below to check out the best of the best!
Wooden Pineapple Bowls on Hello Lidy
Hello Lidy has quickly sneaked into being one of my favourite blogs – partly because of the great content, beautiful imagery and wonderful designs, but mostly because of Lidy’s (slightly worrying) obsession with pineapples! Out of all her posts, these cute little pineapple bowls really caught my attention. Be sure to check out all her great posts over at her blog.
Including a DIY guide has turned into a weekly thing now, with this week’s addition being particularly interesting: How to Make Edible Flower Ice Cubes. Never again must your ice and flowers occupy separate spaces, with the star of this DIY video Ben Gould teaching us how to make this simple yet effective decoration. A great post which is sure to please the gardener/eskimo in you!
Korean Chairs at NewX
Bored of your plain old kitchen chair made of such mundane materials as wood or plastic? Then you need to head off to South Korea, where designers have been redesigning the wheel, so to speak. I really love some of these abstract furniture designs in this post by NewX, but it's Jinil Park's pencil sketch-inspired chair that impresses me most.
Ever wished you could instantly generate and customise the sound of a fireplace burning? Course you have! Well now your (slightly disturbed) dreams have been answered with this delightfully bizarre tool/mobile app. With firesounds ranging from a gentle crackle to a grab-your-family-and-get-out roar, I had great fun playing with this little toy.
Another outdoorsy post to go with last Tuesday's post on
Chimineas , this time coming from Gurdy Herder of Eclectic Trends. Getting the outdoor look inside is all the rage at the moment, and Gurdy talks us through the basics of how to achieve it - just short of plonking a cow in the front room. Stuffed full of beautiful colours, textures and furniture, be sure not to miss out on this great post.
