This boho-chic 19th-century frame, which was recently featured in Skona Hem magazine, has a number of quirky features. One of my favorite quirks is this wall of small sculptures hung high on the wall in the dining room. If you're feeling uninspired by your framed photos and artwork, try adding some textural elements to your wall in the form of small sculptural objects, or even plates.

These are not your average pillows. They're not made from cotton or silk or anything you'd find in a fabric store. Can you guess what they are made of?

Can you see the common element in both of these photos? There's a black bird sculpture hovering on the shelf in Emily Walker's Canadian crib, recently featured in Canadian House and Home. Not to be outdone, the same bird's perching on the Living Etc July 2009 cover.

We all know that Stella McCartney is an animal lover, but forgoing leather isn't the only way she shows it. McCartney created an astonishing crystal sculpture in the shape of a horse in 2004 for a fashion exhibit inside the Great Hall of Belsay Castle, an English Heritage castle in the UK, and it has returned for the Easter holiday. "Lucky Spot" was made from thousands of hanging crystals, and is truly a magnificent sight.

Many Casa readers are probably familiar with artist Alexander Calder's unmistakable sculptures and mobiles. Recently, I stumbled across photos of his French home and studio from the 1960s. The eclectic home and art-filled spaces are the obvious home of an artist.

I recently spotted this very cool sculpture, made from old record albums, on Make magazine's website. Titled "Sound Wave," artist Jean Shin melted and manipulated records to form this wave. I love the use of recycling in this sculpture, as well as the punny title.
