Sitting Back To Back

Things I Enjoy Indulging In Back-to-Back:

double features
dinner & dessert
a boogie-down Jackson 5 song followed by a Ben Folds ballad
episodes of House and So You Think You Can Dance
this sofa:

Okay. So you're not technically seated back to back, but that's definitely a lot of seat backs for one sofa. Designed by Nigel Coates for Fratelli Boffi, it costs £7,955.

Chaise Lounge Is One Hot Tamale: 2

Steph Auteri — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 20:15:00 GMT

Just yesterday, I posted about a burgundy chaise lounge with a lot of personality. (A lot.) How to build a room around such a strong piece of furniture? After the jump, some pink accent pieces, and some darker pieces of furniture to offset the overwhelming brightness:

The chandelier is $2,199 from Neiman Marcus.
The drapes are $34.90, also from Neiman Marcus.
Neiman Marcus has also provided us with a coffee table ($1,829) and end table ($1,279). (It's a pity I can't actually afford anything from Neiman Marcus.
My favorite accent here is something I've posted about in the past...this ingenious chandelier wall light. How perfect is that!?

Party At My Place: The Perfect Sectional For Your Next Orgy

Steph Auteri — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:30:00 GMT

This is what my sectional looks like from up above. The only differences? The color (mine is the color of oatmeal) and the fact that mine was purchased at Bob's Discount Furniture while this one was designed by the awesome Ligne Roset.

If you have more money than I do, the possibilities are even greater:

The sofa feels exceptionally spacious, even with just the first two pieces. If you had all four, well...well, you could have an orgy!

Or something.
