If you would like a funny rug intro your room, you should take a look at these rugs made by Dan Golden. These hand-tufted rugs of New Zealand wool can make a bold statement on any floor. I’m sure that anyone can came up with their own origianl funny message, but Dan Golden put this idea into practice. These contemporary designs look great in minimalist settings, especially those where a smile wouldn’t go amiss. I remember some years ago when t-shirts with funny messages hit the market they where a big hit. Who knows maybe the trend will be the same with these rugs. See the whole collection on Dangolden.com - Via - Moco Loco

I wanted to write a post about Ikea, but I couldn’t decide what to write, and I didn’t had enough information, but today searching for materials for this blog I’ve found some tips that can be useful for those who want a new piece of furniture, and Ikea is the store from where they will purchase the furniture. These tips come from a former IKEA worker.
- IKEA lives on add-on sales, and where they make their money. The stores are designed to get you though every department, but there are shortcuts. Use them liberally; ask for the fastest way to where you need to go. There’s a ton of cheap stuff along the way for you to grab, and it adds up fast. Before you check out, evaluate what’s in your cart and if you really need/ want it and you’ll save a good chunk of cash. Also, in the first showroom area, avoid what’s called the ‘open the wallet’ area- tons of small, cool, cheap stuff you can grab- it gets you in the buying mood, and ‘opens your wallet’. Everything there is duplicated later on, so if you see something really cool, write it down and look for it later.
- The 30-day return policy is (sort of) a lie. IKEA will generally return stuff like wal-mart (but should not be confused with that evil place), so keep receipts if at all possible. And if anything is wrong with the product, take it apart and bring it backw. Be sure to check the boxes for damage before you check out.
- IKEA sells tons of cheap crap, but the higher priced stuff is well worth the money, lasts for a long time and usually carries a warranty.

This house has something really special, because is made from an entirely unconformistic material. I’m sure you don’t see a house made entirely from old doors everyday. This was just a quick example of creative people are, and some of them keep to amaze us everyday. This picture was taken near Elberton, Georgia, snapped from a car cruising by at 55 mph. - Via - Core77
