I love creative stuff around the house. I like my rooms to look like they’ve sprung out of those fancy magazines, but I also MUST have a touch of whimsy, as well. Door stops are just so cool. My grandma used to have a very old 1800s cast-iron iron for her door stop. Loved it. Here are some cute ones I found on the web.
Probably my favorite.
For the pet lovers. Or haters.
Bwahaha!
This next one I really like. It’s kinda bland, but it’s something I won’t TRIP over when I go to the bathroom at 3am. I have a tendency to trip over things, it’s just awful. I never enter my sons’ rooms in the dark. Those nasty little LEGOs just seem to come out of the carpeted crevices, firmly planting themselves under my heel as I crush them into the skin. :egads:
Nice.
Fool the mice!
I would definitely trip over this at 3am.
And the grand finale- HEY I have one of those!
Door stops from the following sites: Oddee.com, Toxel.com, FindAProperty, Magazine 13.
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

I have been looking for some ideas like this! Not just for doors, but I have windows that swing open as well. Currently I have old socks stuffed in the hinge/cracks to keep things from slamming… functional, but less than stylish(!). My sewing machine has yet to arrive (household goods still in shipment) but I could definitely use some horrified looking little squished guys like that blue guy up there!

Those are all great, but love the dog one!

Yes, aren’t they adorable?! I think if you do a search for “creative doorstops” you will get a ton of shopping ideas. Connie- you sound like you definitely need something to replace those old socks!

Since I love animals, I have four cute doorstops of animals: two cat ones, one turtle and one mouse.
