Smiling Objects



The happy snaps showing everyday objects you can't help but raise a smile at


These may be mundane everyday objects - but they can still raise a smile.
In a series of chance situations this funny set of happy snaps show a range of non-living things sporting a smile.
The cheery images appear on a grater, chair and even forms on the surface of a cup of coffee.
Happy face: There's nothing like a cuppa to make you smile

Eggstremely happy: Two yokes and the handle of this egg poacher make this a happy picture

There are also positive faces on a viewfinder and the dashboard of a car.
A house even bears its teeth in another amusing snap, while a rope falls just in the right place to form a smile inside a home.
 
A sink block hole and a concrete structure complete the set.
Nice to look at: This seaside telescope looks happy

Can't help but smile: A rope and two mirror create this beaming picture

Happy days: These two air vets, the warning light button and CD player in this Ford motor around to drive bad moods away

If you look closely, at these nails and screws they closely resemble a smile

It may be old, crumbling and have moss on it, but it looks happy

Vertical Garden Built From Recycled Plastic Bottles


Rosenbaum designed a pretty amazing vertical garden that was suspended in a narrow walkway just outside the house. Reponse to the garden was so huge the firm quickly released design schematics (in Portugese) detailing how to build one.

As part of an innovative partnership called Home Sweet Home (Lar Doce Lar) between multidisciplinary design firmRosenbaum and TV producer Luciano Huck, the teams went through dozens of Brazilian homes doing dramatic makeovers of interior and exterior spaces. On their 48th home Rosenbaum designed a pretty amazing vertical garden that was suspended in a narrow walkway just outside the house. Reponse to the garden was so huge the firm quickly releaseddesign schematics (in Portugese) detailing how to build one. A huge thanks to the team at Rosenbaum for sharing these photos, 08 more images after the break...
