I really don’t like the Togo sofas.
I know that everyone seems to be in love with them right now, but they look like some sort of amorphous Alien prop/lifeform to me. Also, they look like the older sibling of this, um, lounger, from PBteen:
Right? I mean, this is something you maybe stick in your partially [...]
the bar cart got a new look today (see previous incarnations here and here):
also, check out that stack of fabric – that’s only part of the stash I picked up from Purl Patchwork when I was in New York. (Yes, I flew in with an empty suitcase.) And no, it’s not all for me, in [...]
a hastily taken photo of the new chair I bought yesterday off of Craigslist. I had our vintage fake-Eames lounge here before, but the whole living room was getting a little too MCM for me. The orange chair on the right is my favorite piece of furniture in the house, and I like the way [...]

I love this Magtable from Umbra. As someone whose coffee table is often taken over by piles of magazines, the thought of incorporating them into the furniture is somewhat appealing.
$158 at Umbra.

One of my favorite things to do is fantasize about buying a new couch. This purchase is a long ways off – I’m back in school now, remember? – but a girl can still dream. Our current couch was a craiglist find several years ago, and while it’s not at all ugly it’s not exactly [...]
I love the image on the cover of the Brocade Home summer sale catalog that showed up in my mailbox yesterday.
the entire catalog is full of great styling . . . I may be writing a follow up post later tonight.
Yesterday we got our couch cleaned.*
It’s much cleaner now, but still stained – we bought used it two years ago from a family with two small children.
It’s not the most beautiful sofa in the world, but it is the most comfortable, and when you combine that with the fact that new sofas are [...]
