Would You Decorate With Religious Iconography?

I love so much about this home, featured in the pages of Skona Hem.

I love so much about this home, featured in the pages of Skona Hem. From the whitewashed furniture to the rugged wood chairs and Cath Kidston cushions, it's a beautiful place. However, I'm not so sure about the religious iconography. While it's perfectly reasonable for a practicing Catholic to have such items in the home, I can't help but think it's inappropriate to use these pictures and symbols in nonreligious homes. And I don't believe that this personal decorating don't is strictly limited to Christian imagery, either: I find it odd when Buddha statues are found in non-Buddhist households, or pictures of Vishnu are tacked to the walls of non-Hindu homes. Am I prudish, or do you agree?

Trend Alert: Gothic Jewels

Soon, vamps will not only be trendy on the screen.

Soon, vamps will not only be trendy on the screen. I'm anticipating gothic jewels in the form of rosaries, crosses, and shark teeth, apparently, to start warding off delicious evil. Twilight's Robert Pattinson recently went gaga over Finn jewelry's pavé diamond shark’s tooth necklace at a photo shoot. The stylist on set was wearing said necklace and Pattinson ended up buying an 18-karat gold version on a leather cord. Other manly men who dig Finn's sharky bling: Liev Schreiber and Brad Pitt.
On the Angels and Demons side of the Hellmouth, Italian jewelry brand Damiani merged with costume designer Daniel Orlandi to create the jewelry for the action film. The special collection of crosses and rosary beads inspired by the film will be crafted with gold, diamonds, onyx, and black enamel. The line, aptly named Angels & Demons, will make an appearance at the upcoming Couture trade show in Las Vegas. Don't get too excited; prices range from $3,440-$8,540. Nobody said it was cheap being Buffy . . .
