50 Fresh & Juicy Slices of Offbeat Home Decor

What could you do with 300 home & dining tips?

Live better, live happier, live off the charts? Well of course you can; you can do all that and more.

slice of delightWith the proper tools your home can be the amazing sanctuary it should be. That’s why today the b5media Home & Dining channel is bringing you the 300 best tips ever for improving your home and dining experience.

The Offbeat 50…

The Offbeat 50 won’t help you Martha up the house, or get super organized, or use actual fashionable taste to solve household decor problems. What Offbeat is bringing to the table is a bunch of slices of delight that can help you live a little more off the map. I found some cool, some beautiful, some useful (but all quirky) items that you absolutely need for your offbeat abode from all my favorite haunts around the internet.

One last word; moderation. If you use all my offbeat decor tips your house will look less offbeat and I’m thinking more psychotic. Not that we totally frown on that around here.

To learn more about any of these offbeat items, simply click on the item link.

    Moderation, schmoderation! No, really, I was thinking that ‘one of each’ would pretty much take care of my gift-list for the next year, and make everyone I know think that I’m just too hip to be allowed to pick up the restaurant check… ;)

    One of each! Didn’t you read my disclaimer about not using one of each ;)

    That’s ok. You get to do anything you want since you said, “Of course” like everyone should love Offbeat. That made my day. Thanks :)

    P.S You do not want to know how long this list took; but forever is a good guess.

    Hey! I had a big Halloween kid/adult party last year. It rocked. I made the worlds coolest spooky food. I’ll have to post pictures at some appropriate blog sometime — maybe Balance or Tree Hugging Family. The food was awesome.

    So, offbeat is better than “nice” huh :) I haven’t been having the best week either; it’s hard to be one of us offbeat girls sometimes. I hope your next week goes better :D

    Jennifer:

    Halloween is my favorite holiday (or one of them, anyway.) My dream is to have a big adult & kid Halloween party someday, but I need to pay someone to clean my house in order to do it. In other words, it’ll be a cold day on the river Styx when that occurs!

    I like being called offbeat–thanks! You made me smile during what has been a VERY rough week.

    You want an orange, black, and white kitchen! I always knew you were off the charts offbeat. It would be like Halloween every day! Fun and spooooooky.

    The shower curtain is the best… though if I could have an orange, black, and white kitchen, I’d go straight for that stove! :)

    You rule!
