Once more, it’s a plunge headlong into questionable taste and a roundup of furniture and accessories that most of us should find irresistibly grotesque.  With the exception of the bird’s-nest bed frame, I’d rather search for furnishings at the Goodwill store than bring any of the other selections into my home. How about you?

Gesundheit of Fashion

The original carvers of these Polynesian moai statues on Easter Island would be simply delighted to find that in the 500 years that passed, the best we could do with all our knowledge was to turn their design into a tissue dispenser.  You might think it’s kind of cute, but it’s snot.

Texas Hold ‘Em

No way these chairs end up in my hacienda, cowboy!  But maybe they’re your kind of thang. Surprise: they’re sold by the British-owned UK Contemporary Furniture. At some point, one hopes, the novelty will wear off.

Ewe Thrill Me

Feeling a bit sheepish? Casa Sugar has everything in shaggy furnishings that you thought you never needed.  Which brings us to…

Chia-Couch

Lay down some stakes, sod, and some nitrogen fertilizer and this outdoor couch will grow itself!  Water and weed according to manufacturer’s specifications and enjoy! (Lawn mower sold separately!)

Eight Is Enough!

Polystyrene balls and recycled blue-jeans form the tentacles of this beanbag chair that is simply far less than astonishing. It may be a good choice for the drunk tank.

Branch Office

I love the looks of this canopy bed from Shawn Lovell Metalworks, but its $15,000 asking price is simply for the birds.

Handy Hardware

Your friends will know what’s shakin’ if you install this brushed, polished aluminum door handle from the Netherlands. I find the whole thing just a little disturbing.
