Were you just thinking, “I love flowers soooooooooooo much that I wish I could buy a flower rug… and not just a flower-imprinted flat rug but a super-cool 3D-ish shaggy flower rug I can lie on contemplatively in my flouncy matching dress and pumps.”?
Yes? Me too! OMG, what are the odds? Well, our wish has been granted.
In Sacramento, you can buy this rug through Room & Company. Bay areans, try Design Within Reach in Berkeley or In Your Element in San Francisco.
Thanks to Inhabitat for blogging this. Now if only IKEA would manufacture a knockoff we mere mortals could afford…

Valued Customer,
Millions of pounds of pulp is scraped from pumpkins
throughout the Halloween season, resulting in yummy pies, creative
jack-o’-lanterns and… plumbing nightmares.
Every year, plumbers get
lots of calls to repair garbage disposers and kitchen sink drains that have been
clogged with slimy, stringy pumpkin pulp and seeds.
Follow these tips to
guard against Halloween drain disasters…
Never put pumpkin pulp or
seeds down the toilet, sink drain or in the garbage disposer.
Carve
pumpkins on a thick bed of newspaper.
Wrap up the pumpkin-related
materials and throw away in the garbage can.
Or you could compost it. 😉

This just makes me happy on so many levels. It’s funny… it’s crazy… it’s sweet… it’s a guaranteed laugh for passersby. At only 30 bucks plus shipping and handling, I’m about this close to ordering one.
Hey, why not? If you’re in prison, you want a cell with a view, right? Let’s at least let our imprisoned, er, uh, domesticated, pets see what’s on the other side. If you have, say, a German Shepherd, it will also let prospective burglars see what they’re up against.
What will they think when they see my Pet Peek… mounted about 10″ off the ground, with two badass Chihuahua/Rat Terriers staring back at them like mutant goldfish.
“I’m gettin’ out of the crime business and am going to start marketing crazy inventions to sappy dog owners,” is what they’ll think. Or maybe that’s just what this sappy dog owner who installed trellis on the bottom of one section of fence so our old dog could see through it thinks a burglar would think.
