Rocks? They ain’t just for gardens and throwing at the neighbor’s cat any more.  Rocks (or for the more erudite, stones) are weaving their way into the design world in some pretty creative avenues. 

LauraSweet’s killer recommendation of Diego Fortunato’s stone rugs reminded me of the popular Livingstones Lounge…in that they’re both inspired by rocks, and supremely cool.

Well, where there is two there is lots more, and a stone tag search reminded me just how much I love the hard semi-spherical object. From MariBelle’s  Riverstone Chocolates to really cool cabinet pulls, it’s safe to say there are plenty of rock options out there?

Am I beating a dead horse?  Well, you get the point…for a fun, quirky and zen-like organic element - don’t forget Mother Nature’s old stand by.

And leave your neighbors cat alone, why don’t ‘cha.
