Furniture Reporter

Two years ago, when I first moved into my 3rd floor apartment, I promised my roommate I would contribute a chair to our living room. I’d imagined reupholstering a beautiful antique chair in a deep purple or rich green fabric. I have since become obsessed with Chair Couture creations. Miss Margaret recycles gorgeous French antiques and turns them into modern center pieces,  featuring one-of-a-kind contemporary fabrics.

I daydream of the day I can bring home one of her art pieces. Until then, I’m searching restlessly for the perfect old chair to try my hand at reupholstering furniture.

Hey Flame here again, apparently my partner Toxic didn’t hack me out of hate. He did it because he thought I didn’t use my chobots accounts anymore which I totally understand why.

Everything was forgiven and forgotten but I still don’t have my Chobots anymore.

Now I have to try to get them back since they were banned out of a misunderstanding.

The sales are now on and what better time to invest in a design or future design classic? These brilliant pieces are all in the sale at the Conran shop and can be purchased online. What’s more, you can consider them an investment as they are already classics. Credit crunch? What credit crunch?

(This is a totally frivolous post, but it’s Sunday morning, so that’s what you’re getting.)

The bed Boy and I sleep on is the bed that I have had since I was 16 years old. I got it when I got too long for the single bed my parents had purchased for me when I was 2, so when I get a bed, I make sure the thing lasts.

A while ago, Boy and I started to talk about possibly getting a new one since the rod-iron head board is kind of crappy (anytime we sit down on the bed, it clangs of the wall, to the point we’ve had to put pads and socks on it to keep it from marking the wall) and the mattress has seen better days.

But when we started talking about replacing the bed, we also started thinking about the dressers. I hate our dressers. When we got them at Ikea when we moved in together three years ago, they seemed like a good idea. They were modern-looking, they were stylish and they were, most importantly, cheap. But practically the second we got them in there, they sucked. It was hard to open them, they didn’t want to fit together and when you pulled them open, the fronts would pop off and the clothes would fall out. We still have these things, but I would ultimately much rather take an axe to their stupid, $h!tty exteriors and burn them in Boy’s father’s country firepit.

Anyway, yesterday when we were out and about in the city, we stopped by the furniture store Boy used to work at and we both kind of fell in love with a new set. We haven’t bought them yet because we’re not quite ready to drop that kind of chunk of change right now (we just finished paying for wedding stuff and Boy hasn’t dealt with the tax blow he will most certainly face when he has to deal with his first year as an independent contract worker), but we’re looking towards our anniversary in the summer as the start of  Operation: Bedroom Makeover!

So, without further ado, our prospective bedroom set:

The bed.

The beside table (we currently do not have bedside tables and use the top of the dressers which is weird and high.)

The lingerie chest.

The five drawer high chest or . . .The six drawer low chest. We might go with this one just because it might be nice to not have everything in the room going vertical.

It’s a ways off but the idea of change is a good one. Got anywhere in your house you want to spruce? What is it?

The Loft announces the newest addition to its line of living sets, the Addison.

Available in two distinct colour themes, the Addison is a suitable fit whether your home follows a classic, monochromatic theme or a funky, brightly coloured one - all with an air of sophistication and style. With its combination of modern and antique design elements and great attention to detail, the Addison creates a room that is bold and unique, while still being practical.

Beyond the aesthetic, all three seating pieces are scripted with The Loft’s Xpose animation system for smooth, realistic, menu-driven poses which are couples-friendly and true to life. The ottoman automatically rezzes the appropriate props to match your animation be it napping, eating popcorn or just chatting. Even the pillows are scripted to allow for extra seating, which makes entertaining or hanging out with friends at home even easier.

Items sold separately or as a set with all pictured items included.

Visit us in-world to test out the animations or for more product details.

Come see what more we have in store at The Loft.
