Deeply Divine Recline Sofa.

I first came across Ochre’s Deeply Divine Recline Sofa about a year ago and didn’t even know it. I saw the above photo on someone’s blog and pulled it to go into my little inspiration file. Then yesterday while perusing Ochre’s site I discovered – SHAZAM! – that they were in fact the makers of the much-coveted sofa. I love how in the photo it just looks so used. If I owned one I’m pretty sure there would be a permanent indent from my butt in one of the cushions.

Le Beanock.

This is quite possibly one of the coolest inventions in recent history – Le Beanock. Basically a beanbag converted into a hammock that can hang at any height and angle. Le Beanock is crafted out of marine quality sailcloth finished with zig-zag stitching for extra durability. Chain and eyelets are another marine quality feature – making it more than tough enough for two people. We can thank fashion model turned expert sailmaker/weldress Tracie Herrtage for her innovative design. As of now Le Beanock is available in both natural and black, as well as small (250£) and large (495£) sizes.

Can of Peas Bed.


At least that’s what I used to call my single wood-frame canopy bed when I was little. This Italian Campaign Canopy from Anthropologie is considerably more grown up and I’ve been seeing it everywhere from Domino to Design*Sponge. I adore metal-framed beds and this one is no exception. I am thinking that you would need a considerably sized room though to pull it off and a higher ceiling.I would deck it out in white bedding with a big, fluffy down comforter. Makes me want a nap right now!

Pretty Cleo Chair.


This chair from Anthropologie is fabulous. I love the big, bright yellow print and the pleasingly plump proportions. It would be really cute in my bedroom, but I think I’d want it out in the open to see all of the time. But costing $998 as it currently does, it won’t be coming anywhere near any of my rooms unless the Chair Fairy pays me a visit. Oh well, I can enjoy the pictures. Maybe I’ll sit on the pictures of it and pretend, you know, like Phoebe did in Friends with the bicycle box. Only I won’t make anyone drag me around the living room on it.
