Either/Or Convertible Sofa from Urban Outfitters

Either/Or! Our handsome Convertible Sofa offers mid-century style and unparalleled versatility on a grand scale. Clean blocked arms and graceful tapered legs support tufted seat and back cushions with an ambitious twist: a unique multi-tilt split back design allows each side to be reclined independently and at 4 different angles! Keep both sides up to make a stunning sofa. Recline only one side for a very modern modular lounge, at home in any open space and sure to start a conversation. Drop both sides down to make a comfy bed for 2, maximizing space for a very good night indeed. Sit straight up or lean way back- either way...we know you'll love our Either/Or sofa! Sturdy steel frame with plush foam cushions and a durable poly tweed covering.

Eames house bird



Eames house bird


Charles and Ray Eames augmented the interior ‘collage’ of the Eames House with numerous objects brought back from their extensive travels. The figure of a black wooden bird – evidently one of their most prized objects of American folk art – has stood in the centre of their living room for over fifty years. Based on the original artefact and in cooperation with the Eames family, Vitra is now producing the first series of this figure.

Before and after



I mentioned in an earlier post that I snatched a flower pot pendant lamp off Craigslist. Well, I finally convinced my husband to put it up. It looks really good, it brings the whole room together. My husband gutted the old light and replaced the old cord with a white cord set from Ikea.






Door Sixteen

Anna from Door Sixteen has gotten images of her home picked up by Apartment Therapy. I love her home, it's so organized and simple. Whenever I see an overly cluttered space it makes me cringe. Anna's home puts a smile on my face :).
