(Knick) Knack for Style

I will tell you right now, I hate knick knacks. Nothing screams granny decor like those ugly Faberge eggs and Franklin Mint figurines. That said, I noticed my living room bookshelves looked a little bare when I moved into my new house last year. That's when I discovered the joy of small sculptures and fell in love with Papafork's cutlery based pieces. They're sleek and contemporary looking enough to add some panache to your home without making it look like your mother helped you decorate. Papafork's subjects include robots, bulls, frogs, bugs and motorcycles -- nothing girlie here. At an average price of around $35.00, couldn't your bookshelf or mantle use a little art?
