i like craft & design
Okay, YES.
Is it realistic to have a couch reupholstered? I love my couch so much and I’m already beginning to worry that a few years down the road, what if this thing gets irreparably dirty? It has survived 50 years with its bright green velveteen upholstery, I know I won’t be able to part with it. And I’m not okay with slipcovers.
CB2 (much better store than Crate & Barrel, in my humble opinion) is selling these oh-so-cute 1950s modern chair ornaments for the holidays.
Lasserre’s drawings and sculptures explore the unexpected potential of the everyday and its associated structures of authority, class, and value. Elements of nostalgia, allegory, humor, and the macabre are incorporated into works that induce strangeness in the familiar, and provoke uncertainty in the expected.
Jovana Bogdanovic, a Serbian designer, designed the ‘Low Chair Family’. Jovana’s design works are an exquisite voyage of their own. (via Modern Furniture by Jovana Bogdanovic | Interior Design Blog - Interior Design Ideas, Tips & Inspiration)

Bend Seating
I’m totally crushing on this furniture from Bend — great for indoor (throw a cushion on it, or not) and outdoor spaces. Pricing is reasonable if you’re rich, too, so I’ll get started on that.
You say couch, I say sofa
I have an unhealthy obsession with furniture, and I’ll share a little of that with you now. I once watched a Nip/Tuck episode about a potential new partner that had a sexual obsession with furniture. NO I’m not like that, but I will say it made a little uncomfortable.
Once you get a sofa in a fantastic color, you simply can’t ever consider a beige again (not that I ever really did, but that’s beside the point…) I’m partial to velour, myself.
My couch is a delicious lime green velour. Purchased from the original owner, who had it under plastic since the 1940s. You may recall seeing it from my Halloween post.
