To mark the Twelve Working Days until Christmas, I will be counting down twelve fabulous items for the home.  If you've recently purchased a home, these will be great additions to your dwelling to make it truly your own.  If your house is on the market, you could incorporate some of these items for "added value" or just hang on to the ideas for your next house.

Our number 4 item is truly one of a kind, so it's more the idea of the item rather than the actual item pictured below, which is Michael Jackson's throne.  I can SO imagine having a throne in my house, especially with those sharp-looking things sticking out from the top. 

Wouldn't it be funny next time some stranger randomly stops by your house to talk about whatever...  new windows, sides of beef, the afterlife...  and your assistant (child or spouse) ushers them in to see you sitting on your throne.  Then when you get bored with their conversation, you'll push a button somewhere in all that ornamentation, and oops!  There they go, through a trap door and out of your house and over to the neighbors who doesn't have that kind of passive-aggressive means of dismissal.  They'll have to get rid of them the old-fashioned way.

Yes, I think a throne would be a good thing.
