Obscure Items

[Barney]

So today Timmy and Tommy are selling a loom for 13,000 Bells.

As impressive as it looks, I can't imagine where I could use / place such an item!

I thought it might be fun if we used this thread to highlight the most obscure / hard to use items we've come across and hope that someone else can show us how they've seamlessly incorporated them into their island design!

I use the loom in my side character's little farmhouse!

I think I'd have a hard time using any of the new throwback items (like the table that looks like a baseball hat).

I saw somebody use a loom for a really impressive able sister's outdoor extension! (pic isn't mine, it's from reddit lol)

Maybe use the loom for a sewing/ clothes themed room? I think it looks nice that way.
I also have a hard time with some throwback furniture as well.

Yeah, that table is a puzzler!

This may sound stupid but... the doghouse. I bet you all know what I'm implying here.

I love the throwback tables and mitt chairs but they don't fit in anywhere! I used to place them outside my jock villager's house but tbh they were still a bit of an eyesore then

Lol that table is exactly what I was gonna say but you said it first XD

I'm gonna make two Good Omens themed rooms (unsurprisingly, one for Crowley & one for Aziraphale) and I'm gonna put a black throwback bed (the one that looks like a car) to represent the Bentley :D

Honestly, when this item showed up at my Nook's a few weeks ago, I was pretty confused with what you could do with it. Unless you do intend to make like a tailor-inspired room or space, then it would be appropriate, along with the pants press. I have to say, it's really creative for their team to come up with things like these, since you typically wouldn't always expect to see a loom.

I used the hat-shaped tables in my outdoorsy diner.
They remind me of something a diner that's styled to look like it's from the 80's would have.

As someone who has had to stop myself from buying a loom in real life more than once because I don't have space in my apartment, I very much appreciate that it exists! (My knitting yarn takes up enough room I don't need more bulky hobbies.)

In NL I had a cozy living room with bookcases and the fireplace and some of the classic series, plus the loom, spinning wheel, etc, so it looked like a nice homey room.

I think the problem is that the loom is HUGE! It was a 1-square item in NL (looms come in a range of sizes irl). Not an easy thing to cram into our tiny side-rooms. I jumped on it when it showed up in my Nook's, ran home, dropped it in my bedroom, and was like "oh..."

i'm prob an outlier in that a loom in a house is very very normal for me. my grandma had a massive loom in her basement that she would make elaborate rugs on. it reminds me of sitting on the floor when i was a kiddo and watching the colors. it's one of my favorite items in the game! i actually haven't placed mine anywhere yet so i think i'm going to recreate that basement in my AC house now. :~)

Imagine having a use for the wobbling zipper toy, wooden fish, breaker, or throwback wrestling figure.

I have one outside Wolfgang's house ...

I feel the cat litter box is more questionable.​

The throwback wrestling figures are on my beach fighting Godzilla.

I didn't even know this item existed in New Horizons. I'd put it outside the Able Sisters shop like someone already suggested.

 

[Corrie]

I didn't even know what that item was until this thread lol.
