apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

hehehe... my latest was last week when I was re-doing our bedroom! I always planned on having my little sheep in the room, but in a spur-of-the-moment decision late one night, I hung them from the wall... and drew silly faces... and made one say "weeee!" :D

The second one (portrait arrangement) really made me laugh out loud, as did the monster skin rug. Oh, to do something like that...

I have a lot of love for this bananna dog because I'm such a fan of the Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann "veggie reality" imagery.

I also display my Darth Tater and Optimash Prime potatoheads at works.

Just over the toilet my Mum hung a picture of a rooster with “I’m so confused I don’t know which way to point my pecker” printed on it. It made me smile every single time and I’m sure it amused all our guests.

The cat picture is great! I really want that knife holder. All are neat!

@CozyLittleCave: I LOVE your sheep!

In a previous apartment I shared with three roommates, we often had theme partys. One was "medieval times". In our long hallway, there was this very kitschy rose wallpaper from the previous renter, and it stopped about a foot away from the ceiling. For the party, we painted stone castle battlements on leftover ingrain wallpaper and put them on top of the rose wallpaper. It looked really great and we kept it until we moved out.

Some of this is so cute. We don't have much humor in our decor (sadly), but our den looks like a museum with the stuff the fiance has collected (pyrite, arrow heads, shark tooths, random stones, an actual dead puffer fish, etc)

I think the taxidermy fish above the fireplace in our living room is pretty funny and unexpected:

I have a mannequin that likes to play dress-up for game day and holidays.

CozyLittleCave, how cute! Just the right touch. I have a hard time pulling off humor in the main areas of my home, but the unfinished basement/game room is where all the goofy stuff goes!

I framed a couple prints from "Married to the Sea." They get a lot of unexpected laughs.

I also have some silly-looking cross-stitched frogs my mom did over my kitchen sink. A harmonica on my coffee table.

Loooooooove the sheep @cozylittlecave!

I've got one of these http://www.amazon.com/Tiki-Head-Tissue-Box-Cover/dp/B0007U8MSA in my guest bath, which always inspires comments.

my very first apartment in college had a 6' x 8' vinyl poster of Fantasia Barrino from that season's American Idol hanging like a tapestry over the couch. My roommate bought it at a garage sale after a beery summer BBQ and it stayed all year. It was awful but I was sad to see it go when we all moved out.

Excellent toilet flush. I want one.

I have the same little finger puppet monsters as Stephanie. I keep them captive in some perfectly sized shot glasses in the pantry. Also have a little jiggly rubber Wolfman and Creature from the Black Lagoon who live in the fruit bowl. They come out when the music overwhelms them and do a jiggly dance on the table.

does anyone know where i can find that green and white rug in #6?? Thanks!

we have a few witty wall decals over in our shop..
They lean more towards the laundry room ;)

I like it Dirty

thanks guys! It was a sudden, random decision to do, but I absolutely LOVE it! No matter how stressed I am, I calm down when I walk in the bedroom lol

I have a huge, hairy plant that looks like it has long green hair. My husband thought he looked like an alien, so I made a pair of eyestalks out of clay and painted them.
