The Bare Hair Project is an interesting concept from Swedish furniture and product designer Ola Giertz . Developed for a Swedish hair studio, the poufs are made from discarded human hair that is stuffed inside of plastic coverings made from recycled PET bottles. Normally considered ugly, discarded hair from the salon was used for this project to find new purpose for something we once considered useless. Using transparent covers highlights the re-used contents of the pouf making you think about bringing new things to life

Maybe I’ve been hiding under a rock, but I had never seen flowers in ice cubes until I saw the first image above on Glitter Guide last week. As you can imagine, I’m newly obsessed and want to make these immediately! They would be the perfect added touch to a bridal or baby shower, a wedding, or just a fun dinner party. And so easy to make. [Image #4 is from Martha, who offers instructions and where to buy edible flowers and large ice cube trays]
Have you ever made floral ice cubes before?

This past Sunday, we had some of my fiance’s family over for a Father’s Day BBQ. Although the weather was a bit chilly, we still had a good time enjoying good food, beverages and conversations while the kids splashed in the pool. For dessert, my fiance’s stepmom brought over this simple papaya salad. This salad contains only a few ingredients, making it a quick and easy fix for a refreshing salad with a quick zing to it. It even keeps well for a few days after – the leftovers just made me the perfect afternoon snack!
Simple Papaya Salad
1 papaya, cubed
2 tablespoons of basil, chopped
Olive Oil
Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Peel and remove the seeds from the papaya. (If you need a how-to, here’s a good video!) Cut the papaya into cubes and place into a large bowl. Add the chopped basil. Drizzle the salad with about one or two teaspoons of olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the fruit. If you like a little spice mixed with sweet, add some red pepper flakes and stir the salad to mix it all together. If you prefer to eliminate the pepper, no worries – the papaya is still delicious without!

Given the popularity of cowhide rugs and other animal outlines draped on living room and bedroom floors, it’s interesting to see the look in a different way, as on the comforter of the bed within the first image.
As the throw shown above is a hotel room, I think that it would be more functional in a room like that – or perhaps a guest room. I don’t know about you, but I’d get tired of taking that thing off every night and then rearranging it in the morning!
If you absolutely had to display an zebra or leopard rug or throw, which look would you rather – as a throw on a bed or as a rug on the floor?
