Happy April Fool’s Day to all of my decor-savvy readers, who I’m sure weren’t fooled for a minute by this list! Do you have a favorite? Yes, you may like some of these (I think the egg-shaped washer is cute!), but I doubt any could be considered real trends.
If you can take some more crazy, check out last year’s April 1st post: Try This at Home. Or, if you’re feeling really brave, you can read the Fugly Furniture post that the sofa pit came from.

Hi Julia. Yes, I realized it was April Fools. Wow, what oddities! Favorite? Yikes. I wouldn’t go anywhere near a few of them! So, I’d choose the table on wheels. Happy April Fool’s Day to you, too! ~Arleen
i absolutely loved the woofer speakers. At first I though what I heck. Now, I can’t stop laughing. Thanks for the chuckle! I will stumble this as I go.

Don’t be so sure Julia about not being fooled – you had me! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, but…. The hamburger bed and the egg washing machine were the best.

i loved the hamburger bed made me laughh
my daughter would have killed for the hamburger bed. kinda reminded me of the ikea round bed but extreamly dressed up. but what really got me was the chair with the tail. its so wrong…….very wrong……lol i mean we are women and i really dont need the tail between my legs when i am relaxing……lol or do i???????????hummmmm interesting….I need to talk to my man about this……lol
and the toliet is confusing. i am a seat lid up woman and i would probley have an accident early in the morning……lol
I’m kinda liking that table on wheels. The rest are just too funny! Great post – again!
This list is so funny! I loved them both, this year and last. That woodland creature under glass is kinda spooky, as is the chair with a tail.

Julia, Not realizing today is April Fool’s Day, as I began scrolling down your blog I was thinking to myself what an odd collection to blog about. So, I was fooled! I will be better prepared next year. I did check out homeDigz. Some interesting articles. H-AFD! …susan

April Fools and kept going, NO WAY – that is horrible. I can’t believe I am so “out” of what’s “in.” I was having a definite blond moment.

Heee. You are a funny one, Julia! Though…those toilet tank decals make complete sense for a kids bath!
Linda@Lime in the Coconut’s last blog post..Trust…
Ha! This is too funny…
Regarding the sofa pit- That would drive me crazy! The OCD in me would be going over that thing to get all the pile going the same way. It would consume my life.
Regarding the hamburger bed- I kind of want that.

Good list Julia! Love the Burger Bed, how about a French Fry chair and a chocolate shake side table….

I was fooled for the first few. I was trying to figure out how I was going to get a glass dome big enough to cover that deer head on the wall in hubbies office!

Love the table on wheels!!
Happy April Fools!

Big thanks to Boris and everyone else who Stumbled this post this morning!
And welcome to everyone stopping by from The Nest forums! Been enjoying your conversation. Sounds like the sofa pit and toilet bench are a big hit with some of you! -Julia
Thanks goodness this was an April Fool’s post
Too funny.

Okay, I looked at the squirrel under the bell jar and I promise I had such a confused look on my face I wish you could have seen it! But by the time I got to the toilet seats I knew what was up. Good job! : )

I saw the hamburger bed and i’m like…yeah ok cuz someone would buy that?! hahaha awesome post!
Oh dear, you got me. I didn’t see it coming till the end
You got me too! I actually thought they were real. Very easy to fool I am!
Too funny! I read the first one and though ewww, then the second and thought I hate that, it took me until #3 to remember it was April Fools and you were messing with us!

You know what Julie? I was fooled up until the third picture. I’m very naive.
Is it completely horrible that I actually want the hamburger bed and the sofa pit? Well definitely not that sofa pit, but a sofa pit in general. I’d buy the woofer speakers too. This probably says a lot about my style, or lack thereof.
Whew thank goodness it’s April Fool’s Day! Although those toilet tank decals are mighty intriguing. . . .

Oh, my! I thought something was up when I saw the squirrel, but I kept going – ha! Those woofer speakers are reeaaally strange. If I had to pick a favorite, I would say the table on wheels. Happy April Fool’s, Julia! :0)

Found the woofer speakers a little disturbing.. at that point I asked myself, is this for real? LOL But I have to say, I have been seeing toilet decals lately and wondering WTH?
Nancy’s last blog post..T-ball is exciting stuff
HA! Funny! You had me until around #3…At first, I was like “Whaaa? Taxidermy?…..Under glass?…” But, by the headless dog speakers I got it. Great post!
The dog speakers are kinda morbid. The hamburger bed is cute – for a dog though. And I don’t quite understand the sofa pit. Do you crawl on and sit with your legs stretched out?
where can i buy the red white and blue quilt
