Lion Statue as seating. Out of place but should be in place.

A reupholstered version of this could be transformed into something as beautiful as that couch.

Too much. From a Destroyer song:

She's been known to appreciate the elegance of an empty room"

I lived in an attic apartment with slanted walls before. I liked it. I'm also short so it wasn't too bothersome. My roommate hit his head in the shower all the time.

These chairs seem to be all the rage nowadays. Try this site for curated CL/ny area classified. Also recently there's been a lot of Danish Moderns lol.

Meh on these. Some of them are too simplistic but in that I-can-make-these-without-trying-much way.

I kind of want it to be wider/larger. More of something to lounge on. Is it really that impractical if you keep it outside? If I saw hay arranged in a way that could be construed as seating I'd jump on that right away.

That sofa looks like a larger version of this http://www.lookatmybeautifulsofa.com/2009/10/this-leather-chair-looks-like-pie/.

I like how brusque it is. It's kind of muscle-y, haha.

Does a rocking chair count as a lounge chair? I'm restless so rocking is my way of lounging. This nice one is for $225.

That headboard print is awesome/clever. Give me and idea to use paisley wall paper print cut to the headboard shape.

Can you upholster something with neoprene? Does anyone do this? I think it would be great!

This looks good in contrast to such darkness (as in the picture), but would be strange in a more lit room (with too much of the wires showing).

O that's a great idea. I love using objects in a way that defy their intended form.

Is that head pillow worn or made of cow hide? Either way it looks amazing. Actually, it would be more amazing if it was worn, leaving the white residue in that pattern.
