I love creative stuff around the house. I like my rooms to look like they’ve sprung out of those fancy magazines, but I also MUST have a touch of whimsy, as well. Door stops are just so cool. My grandma used to have a very old 1800s cast-iron iron for her door stop. Loved it. Here are some cute ones I found on the web.
Probably my favorite.
For the pet lovers. Or haters.
Bwahaha!
This next one I really like. It’s kinda bland, but it’s something I won’t TRIP over when I go to the bathroom at 3am. I have a tendency to trip over things, it’s just awful. I never enter my sons’ rooms in the dark. Those nasty little LEGOs just seem to come out of the carpeted crevices, firmly planting themselves under my heel as I crush them into the skin. 
Nice.
Fool the mice!
I would definitely trip over this at 3am.
And the grand finale– HEY I have one of those!
Door stops from the following sites: Oddee.com, Toxel.com, FindAProperty, Magazine 13.

I have been looking for some ideas like this! Not just for doors, but I have windows that swing open as well. Currently I have old socks stuffed in the hinge/cracks to keep things from slamming… functional, but less than stylish(!). My sewing machine has yet to arrive (household goods still in shipment) but I could definitely use some horrified looking little squished guys like that blue guy up there!

Those are all great, but love the dog one!

Yes, aren’t they adorable?! I think if you do a search for “creative doorstops” you will get a ton of shopping ideas. Connie– you sound like you definitely need something to replace those old socks!

Since I love animals, I have four cute doorstops of animals: two cat ones, one turtle and one mouse.
