Apparently TV program Great British Bake Off not only appreciates great baking, but also high quality Simplehuman kitchen bins!
Could you live in a house this size?

An American couple has decided that this mini house, which they purchased for the equivalent of approx. £12,500, will be ideal for moving across the US to a suitable location in the future and will meet their housing needs just fine in retirement.

Dining with no mobile phones - zip it tablecloth
Posted by Things4MyHome.com on 7/24/2013 to Interesting & Fun
But shouldn't the phones be put away during meals with friends & family so that we converse with and concentrate on each other?
This "Zip It Tablecloth" design idea (via freshome.com) could be one way to address that! Lol ;-)
What do you think?

23 years of living in a 4x4 Merc!
Posted by Things4MyHome.com on 8/16/2012 to Interesting & Fun
So, imagine our amazement when we learned that Gunther Holtorf has been living in his car for the last 23 years! We are not kidding! Not even sleeping in hotels or hostels.

Music by Fat Boy Slim, Tom Cochrane and KPM Music.
Slideshow production by Paul Kerley and Kate McGeown.
We all agree in the Things4MyHome.com office that while we may not wish to live out of a vehicle for any length of time, the adventure looks amazing and we are awed by Gunther and Christine's courage and strength to live their lives exactly how they want to. :-)

Art brings new life to Sao Paolo phone booths!
Posted by Things4MyHome.com on 8/13/2012 to Interesting & Fun
Now we must wait another four years for more wonderful, inspiring achievements by Team GB...and to enjoy the flamboyent, party atmosphere that the Brazil Rio games are promising.
If these artistic phone booths in São Paulo are anything to go by, then we should be in for some eye-catching treats!
View the gallery of all 100 phones.
Which phone booth is your favourite?

Graffiti interior design in a French hotel room
Posted by Things4MyHome.com on 3/2/2012 to Interesting & Fun
The Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France, has five rooms which it commissions artists and designers to redesign each year.
The room below entitled "Panic Room" (and we think you may just panic if you weren't expecting it) has been designed by graffiti artist Tilt. In this room, perfectly divided down the middle, we love the contrast between the crisp, stark, hotel white and the wild, colourful, intense graffiti.

While staying in this room is unlikely to result in a peaceful night's sleep, it would probably be really good fun!
Would you stay here and why?

If we had our own delivery lorry, it would probably look like this!
Posted by Things4MyHome.com on 2/15/2012 to Interesting & Fun
Although the design subject has nothing to do with home interiors, the skill, thought and attention to detail that has gone into creating this remote controlled truck is simply stunning.
Paraphrasing the famous Carlsberg tagline, Laurent was heard to say, "If Things4MyHome.com had its own delivery lorry, it would probably look like this"!
The truck is an exact, quarter-scale replica of a real American truck, a Peterbuilt 359. This remote-controlled machine was handbuilt in Italy by Luca Bordin.
The truck is the product of over 2,000 man hours of work on Luca's part, with most of the components specially created by hand. In total, the project took him nine months to complete.
Go on, who fancies a go with the remote control?
