This piece of filigree porcelain is not just a decorative nod to the skull trend. It has a function that extends beyond spooking and intriguing your guests. Can you guess what type of product it really is? Hint: It might be the more favored version of an old favorite, since the swine flu hit!

"Mind Shut Down," a giant skull made by Indian artist Subodh Gupta, is pictured here at the Frieze art fair in London in mid-October. The materials used to make the skull are all from one room in the house. Can you name the room?

Although I've covered blingy skulls before, I had to share these handcrafted bejeweled skulls by artist Amy Sarkasian with you. I love the colorful baubles affixed to the skull's surface. Are you a fan?

Love It or Hate It? Z Gallerie Metallic Skull

CasaSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:00:24 -0700

I've been into the skull trend for a year now, but ever since I saw this AT:NY house tour, my love for three-dimensional skulls was solidified. I'm not a fan of Hot Topic-esque skull motifs or patterns, but realistic shapes, like Dan Akroyd's Crystal Head vodka or this shimmery Z Gallerie Metallic Skull ($24.95) have me head over heels.

Love It or Hate It? Funny Bones Rug

Just in time for Halloween, Flor has come out with the Funny Bones Rug ($129.99). I think it would look perfect in a hipster dude haven, but would it look right in your pad?

Love It or Hate It? Porcelain Skull

CasaSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 07:45:39 -0700

This very realistic, glazed, ivory porcelain skull ($439) was designed by Bavarian sculptor Franz Ignaz Günther in 1756, well before skulls were cool. It is still produced today by the same Munich-based porcelain manufacturer, Nymphenburg. Given that it was designed as more of a sacred figure than a trendy home accessory, does it appeal to you?

Love It or Hate It? Skullrilla Ashtray

CasaSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:00:46 -0800

The Skullrilla Ashtray ($25) by David Weeks takes a bite out of smoking habits. It's also got a primal and trendy skull quality, if you're looking for that sort of thing. Although this ashtray isn't quite my style, it's a dude-worthy gift for a smoker. And, as a non-smoker I appreciate that pungent ashes are concealed and won't cloud up my face! What do you think?

Trend Alert: Things to Skull Over

CasaSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 05:39:01 -0700

Skulls might be coming back from the dead for the next couple days since it's time to celebrate Día de los Muertos, but they're also having a comeback in the underworld of home interiors. Everything from doormats and rugs to candles, lamps, and chandeliers have been morbidly stamped with or shaped like a skull. I think a touch of ghoulish humor chez toi is sexy, dangerous, and definitely a must. A lil' bit of bones never hurt anyone, right? Click the images below to see what I've dug up.
