Decor Flavor

You know what I love? Stuff that looks like food, but isn’t. I don’t know what it is about food-shaped décor, but it just makes me giggle. I guess some ancient part of my brain just likes being surrounded by things that look edible. Two examples of these inedible edibles are:

The fried egg rug.

I saw this at Urban Outfitters several years ago, and always kicked myself that I didn’t get it when I had the chance. Wouldn’t two of these together be great for a kitchen? Now I just need to find a table runner that looks like a strip of bacon. They can be obtained from Triple B studios at

Another favorite of mine is the idea of the sushi pillow

Aren’t they adorable? They’re just so cuddly. And they’d go with my big sushi painting in the living room. The also have a startlingly large selection of “flavors” ad styles to choose from. I think the sashimi and the flat California roll are my favorites. Great detail. Those can be found at www.theoriginalsushipillow.com - They have a picture of Neil Gaimen sitting amongst the sushi, so you know it has to be good! Man, I love nerd sponsorship advertising.

What’s odd is that I don’t even like eating eggs or sushi. Maybe that’s why I’m ok with finding it so cuddly?
