    Loved your list - we were actually discussing what would be on our list yesterday and I had mentioned the convex mirror - does anyone look good peering into it??

    Such a fun post!! I loved participating, and thanks for the mention!! As far as other items, I'd go with the Domino Book of Decorating. Any interior designer wants others to know they have this and it's often subtly featured in their rooms. =) There's also the bowl of fake fruit (tacky, I know)... I'm not sure what the attraction is, but people love it. Also, vintage suitcases, just stacked against walls (now this one I LOVE). Why are they there? To look good, that's why =) I'll take one set of Louis Vuitton suitcases for my wall, please and thanks!

    Oh, we've got a garden stool! It's in our living room as a side table. I have to say, I've never been a fan of foo dogs!

    Antlers and garden stools here. I never have understood the appeal of those glove forms - seems creepy to me!!

    Love the list! Is it sad that I listed most of these in my previous response? haha

    Some one of the others I forgot...

    suzani prints, ikat, Moroccan poofs, animal print rugs and hides, Keep Calm posters, and lucite tables.

    Though, I fully recognize the utility of the poofs, rug, and table. :)

    I must be so uncool! I actually LIKE all that stuff. In fact, I LUST after the Hermes blanket. Well, that is except for the sheep(which I also submitted to u) and the dogs, but then again I am not a LIVE Sheep or dog person.....

    Useless? maybe, but I still like most of these things. (Well maybe not the sheep.)
