			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People don&#8217;t go visiting so much nowadays. At the risk of sounding 80 years old, when I was a kid we went a visiting the neighbors. Often even. People had their neighbors over, they had tea (or even better coffee), talked, threw burnt orange Tupperware parties, and made colored popcorn balls. Or, was that just my 70s childhood?</p>
<p>Now we stay home. I think we need to draw the neighbors in. You can do that with an offbeat house for sure. Another way is to consider your interior. Is it inviting? Quirky enough <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/offbeat-hot-offbeat-not/">to keep people mesmerized</a>? Does your furniture say , &#8220;You better come sit down or else?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>These pieces do:</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/08/marshmallow_sofa_pic0.jpg" alt="marshmallow_sofa_pic0.jpg" /></p>
<p>Well, as you can clearly see this piece is from vitra. <a href="http://www.vitra.com/home/default.asp?lang=il_en&amp;stat=0">A company I love</a> for their vivid interior and exterior design visions.  This <a href="http://www.vitra.com/products/home/living_room_sofas_daybeds/marshmallow_sofa/default.asp?lang=il_en">Marshmellow Sofa</a> is from an older line but they have some slick newish pieces out as well. Like the <a href="http://www.vitra.com/products/new_products/home/ravioli_chair/default.asp?lang=il_en">Ravioli Chair</a>:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/08/ravioli_chair_pic0.jpg" alt="ravioli_chair_pic0.jpg" /></p>
<p>Oooo, handy. Don&#8217;t know that I like the white of this <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/07/bibliochaise_wh.php">Bibliochaise</a>, featured at good old <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/">Treehugger</a>, but still there is the useful factor.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/08/nobodyco-bibliochaise.jpg" alt="nobodyco-bibliochaise.jpg" /></p>
<p>This <a href="http://www.oddpodz.com/products.asp?prod_id=99&amp;cat_id=11&amp;">Road Tested Chair</a> from the always neat <a href="http://www.oddpodz.com/index.asp">Oddpodz</a>, does actually say something.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/08/road_tested_chairbig.jpg" alt="road_tested_chairbig.jpg" /></p>
<p>You can always serve wine at the bar on your new <a href="http://www.oddpodz.com/products.asp?prod_id=380&amp;cat_id=11&amp;">Circle Stools</a> also available at <a href="http://www.oddpodz.com/index.asp">Oddpodz</a>  (Some people don&#8217;t drink tea).<br />
<img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/08/circlestoolsbig.jpg" alt="circlestoolsbig.jpg" /></p>
<p>Lastly, you could entice people with your environmental consideration. &#8220;I only own cardboard furniture&#8221; is always a good opener.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/08/chair2-medium-web-view.jpg" alt="chair2-medium-web-view.jpg" /></p>
<p>This unique chair is from the from ever amazing architect and designer <a href="http://www.netropolitan.org/gehry/gehrymain.html">Frank O Gehry</a>.</p>
<p>That was fresh. I don&#8217;t think we look at enough <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/offbeat-hot-offbeat-not/">offbeat interior items</a>. Your offbeat home is not much good with the boring stuff inside.</p>
<p><strong>Which chair is your favorite. </strong>Notice that today I refrained from mentioning my favorite. It&#8217;s a whole mystery deal I&#8217;m working on.</p>
