Nava Wall Clock Time Bodoni

Filed under: Decor, Timepieces / Watches

Home decor items like clocks aren't easy to give as gifts, but if you know just the person (or maybe are looking to upgrade your own home's look before the hordes of family arrive) you might find yourself in the market. This Nava Wall Clock Time Bodoni Green will fit either a contemporary home or one with a bend towards the whimsical. It has some of the numbers, but not all, and even though they all appear to have slipped off to one side in a clump they're amazingly still in the appropriate places. Aluminum and plexiglass, gift boxed, 17.5" diam., $148.

Contemporary Suspension Lights from Kundalini

Filed under: Decor

If there's one thing I always go for it's delicate sparkling lights in bunches -- half the reason I like Christmas so much is because of Christmas lights suddenly being everywhere I look. So obviously I'm loving these Contemporary Suspension Lights from Kundalini. Individually each orb is nothing special really, but in a group they have a truly unique and beautiful impact. Made of cast glass and chrome-plated metal these lights will certainly bring a festive sparkle to your home on a year-round basis.

Whimsical Glass Faucets from James McKelvey

Filed under: Decor

Not only is this faucet beautiful but it also appeals to the whimsical child inside of me that still secretly gets a kick out of using silly straws. Bright vibrant color combines with the natural beauty of glass for a unique visual impact. Standing tall above the vanity the James McKelvey collection of glass faucets feature a ribbed hand-blown design in lead-free crystal that is easy to clean and bacteria resistant. And they're not only beautiful to look at, but to use also as the water will stream down from such a high vantage point. Available in a variety of heights, colors, and single or double-twist designs, you can easily fit it into almost any color and decorating scheme.

Wobble Cognac Glasses

Say the word "whimsy" and you've got my attention -- I love anything fun and slightly wacky, but not necessarily ridiculously over the top. These Wobble Cognac Glasses are great, I think, because they look interesting without sacrificing any class. They were designed with bouquet, temperature, and volume in mind, and the delicate shape is said to enhance the pleasure, deep color, and movement of the drink (and also the glass to some extent, obviously). Made of hand-blown glass and available in sets of two for $50.

The Modern Pinwheel

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

I'm a sucker for accent pieces that find a way to blend the whimsical energy of happy childhood memories with a dose of maturity for the adult I am today. These stainless steel pinwheels from Chiasso take the breezy fun from days past and mix it with a healthy dose of class and durability by creating them of lightweight stainless steel. I think they'd make a fun summertime addition indoors or out, and considering the average plastic pinwheel goes for $2 or less, these are actually a little pricey at $15 each.

John Chiles Art Glass Goblets

Filed under: Decor

A table full of these happy goblets would be sure to brighten up any party and get people smiling while still maintaining an air of sophistication. John Chiles strives "to give simple shapes gestures using color and playful geometric juxtapositions" by using traditional glass blowing techniques. Each part is created separately and then fused together, which lends that much more individual personality to the finished product. And it seems pretty much everything in his collection has this same air of peaceful whimsy about it. The goblets are priced at $365 each.

Dust Furniture

The Dust Furniture collection is a functional one, but very heavy on whimsy. Although it looks as though the birch furniture might belong in Disney's Toontown or a Dr. Seuss book, all the pieces in the American-made collection are works of art. Their curving lines make each piece come alive and the colors, which are done in artist-grade acrylics with distressed finishes and sealed with urethane, will bring a smile to anyone's face. They would be fantastic for a child's bedroom, or the bedroom or office of someone who is still a child at heart. We can't make up our minds about a favorite piece, but the Curvaceous Cabinet ($820) would make a fantastic bedside table.
