Weekend Diversion: Things That Look Like Other Things

“Appearances are often deceiving.” -Aesop

While the Louvin Brothers might tell you that something else is more deceiving than appearances, as they sing

there’s an internet site out there I’ve just discovered that celebrates creativity in deceptive appearances.

For your enjoyment, I present Things That Look Like Other Things! Some of my favorites are:

floor pillows that look like pancakes, complete with pats of butter,

a light fixture that looks like an ice-cream cone, perfect for your fluorescent bulbs,

kitchen utensils that look like household and garden tools,

a cocktail shaker that looks like a can of spraypaint,

a knife block that looks like a very unhappy voodoo doll,

a suitcase that looks like a sandwich,

a very meta fishbowl that looks like a fish itself,

and, perhaps the best of all, a trash can that looks like R2D2!

I’ve been absolutely fascinated by these and many others, so much so that I’ve started to look for some of them available for purchase online. So check them out, and have a great weekend!
