I've learned on AT that dead animals are today's trendy decor items. I'll be keeping my eye out for road kill to add to my decorating projects.

ROTFLMAO! Reminds me of a chapter of Frederick Exley's book (A Fan's Notes) called "Journey on a Davenport", in which he doesn't get off his mother's sofa for six months. In other words, the backpack sofa is the perfect piece of furniture for riding out a long bout of depression when all you want to do is just sit and watch TV or stare out the window all day and not have to get up for anything. Got all your supplies right there.

backwoodsla--the rug in the living room is an Angela Adams design called Munjoy. It's no longer available in wool, but a nylon version is still available from various sources.

Need to correct my earlier post about the color of the Lenny sofa I bought. The color is "granite", not slate. It's a very warm gray. A friend who was with me at Macy's actually thought it was more brown or taupe than gray. It's not too dark and IMO is an attractive, versatile color than could work in various settings. The Chloe also comes in granite, but it looks very different from the Lenny granite, perhaps due to the difference in material (weave compared microfiber).

I've heard a lot of retailers source their furniture from the same four manufacturers in the US. The main difference is the choice of upholstery and the amount of the mark-up. Anyone else heard this?
