Over the weekend, I spent some time perusing the LA Furniture Store website, and I came across some seriously cool and interesting furniture. What really caught my eye while I was browsing the site was the many different styles of beds they offer.
When you think of a bed, the most essential part of the bed is where you sleep – on the mattress! But when you really think about it, there is so much creativity that can be had with the headboard or footboard – or even the shape of the bed. The variety of shape of beds is evidenced in the round bed above – simple and circular, yet totally different than most beds as we know them.
As far as headboards go, the variety there is endless – from shape, length, materials – there are so many different headboards out there. I really like the tufted leather one above because its large, looks like an oversized sofa and is just glamorous overall.
The real question is, if you had to choose between these two beds, which would you rather? The sleek round bed or the oversized tufted glam bed?
Personally, I’m rooting for the glam!

Growing up, did you ever have one of those plastic green doormats with the daisies? We had one and I used to pop the daisies off it all the time, which used to drive my mom crazy. The Daisy Garden rug by Joe Jin brings me back to those days. Unlike those dollar store doormats, this rug isn’t made of plastic – it’s made of a soft, grass-like textile. And an added bonus: the artificial daisies can be removed and arranged in just about any pattern you’d like using a snap system.

Materials: Valla kitchen doors, Sätta handle, Placemat (black and red) Description: I planned to make a play-kitchen for my daughter and searched for some inspiration on IKEAHackers. I found several play-kitchen based on the RAST bedside table (like this and this ) and thought that this would be a great idea. So I drove to my local Ikea store for “playkitchen-shopping” and bought the play pots (DUKTIG), plastic kitchen spoons (AKUT) and the wooden stand for those spoons (MAGASIN).
