question: cleaning an (almost) new couch

So, finally, after a month without a couch, I got one.

It’s a Craigslist find and it’s great, except it needs a little cleaning. So, dear reader, how do you clean upholstery? Steam cleaning worth it? Or should I try something else?

gorgeous design: full moon

Wow. I like the feel that this is a gigantic night light on crack.

Pretty, though.

coffee table: alpha table

pkimbui — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:25:56 +0000

I’ve got a soft spot for letterpress and other old-school type things. I’ve got some old letter blocks hanging out in my office and I try to pick them up whenever I see them at antique stores.

I had a media law professor in college who had a table made of the old iron letter pieces from a newspaper. Since I don’t have the pieces (or money) to make a such table, this piece from Crate & Barrel is a great option.

I wish the base where white, though…

$899

midcentury table

Love the open storage on this table by Bald Man Mod.

It’s handmade and there are options for the legs. A great place to store some books or trinkets maybe?

The wood is a combination of birch plywood, walnut and maple veneer.

$350

jax stool

Kinda looks like hot cross buns to me.

It’s quite green, with recycled content everwhere. I think it’d be a good addition to a kid’s room, especially since it comes in a number of colors (35!)

casulo: a room in a box

Kim — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 12:46:22 +0000

If I had a dinky apartment to furnish, I’d totally get this guy, if he ever went into production.

After Casulo was featured on Treehugger, interest blew up and I think they might produce them soon. I worry about the cost and the actual sturdiness of the materials. I love me some flat pack stuff, but it can be flimsy if done wrong.

Go to Casulo’s site.

green culture: a new green shopping option

Kim — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 12:33:36 +0000

I’m constantly surprised by the number of sites out lately that make green shopping easier. Search engines and what not. GreenCulture is a pretty good representative of these sites. It’s got a lot of furniture ranging styles, so not only the ultra-modern folks are satisfied, but everyone.

Take a look.

(Thanks, Ara!)

april desk from weego home

Kim — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 16:52:12 +0000

I really like the mix of modern and natural with this desk from Weego home. I hate to say it, since rosewood has a bad profile in terms of green, but it always look so beautiful. I’m sure there’s a way to sustainably harvest it. Lots of white porcelain accessories or just silver would look awesome here. 60″L x 32″D x 30″H. ($2500)
