apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Creative and just a little creepy!

a lot creepy

just no.

AWESOME! Definitely a conversation piece!

i have to ask, what's with violent images in home decor, both high and low. gun lamps, knife hooks, and i just saw a kitchen knife holder in the abstract figure of a person. it's called the ex.

Are knife holes harder to spackle than screw holes? If not...

ok this is just all wrong. stop it. go no further along these lines.

AT, I thought I knew you...

that is horrible.

Why order of Bouf Superboutique when you can DIY. Buy half a dozen cheap steak knives and just stab them into the wall at strategic positions. If the blade is serrated, it will hold well in the wall. An advantage is you can pull them out when you are running short of knives.

I do not encourage the whole idea of violence...
This is the whole point in creative exercise...pushing the artists mind to see what it can do...and it does pretty amazing things...that is the "knife" point...

Eeewwww. I want my home to be a PLEASANT place.

I think these would be really, really bad for one's feng shui!

Revolting.

I find these to be FAB! What a wonderful way to add some humor! I love these, keep it coming!

Too funny. Reminds me of the babydoll-limb coatrack I blogged yesterday at Living Small. Morbid, but very cheeky.

Isn't there enough violence in the world? This is a no no!

I am disgusted that I can't stop laughing and I keep wondering if my husband would object to having just one in our kitchen. Clearly a warning to all those who dare criticize my cooking!

I find it very interesting how clearly delineated the reaction is to these. I think both positive and negative reactions are valid (I personally would not want them in my home, but as noted above, a few people find them amusing).

I should have made this a hot or not, seeing how divisive these are! Thanks for sharing your opinions, irregardless of what you think about it.

It kinda confuses me how people seem to think that these coat hooks glorify violence! I mean, for God sakes, they're coat hooks! And, for that matter, knives themselves aren't violent; it's people who make them violent. I mean, does having knives in our kitchen constitute the veneration of violence?

I personally love them, and would so buy them if they weren't $50 a piece! (Which to me, is the real outrageous thing here)

Note: I don't mean to offend anyone... solely my opinion here.
