When Couch Potatoes Invade

Sara Yoo — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:00:00 PST

When it comes to coexisting with pets, sometimes it isn't clear who rules the roost. Even in no-pets-on-furniture homes, our furry friends eventually crowd us out of our beds and claim the couch during The Bachelor because nothing is off-limits when the sleepies hit or when they just need a better vantage point from which to supervise the household. We could get mad . . . or we could just sit back and check out some pics of the cutest usurpers (sorry, you'll need to find your own chair).

Currently Coveting: The Johansson Dresser

Elka Karl — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:01:22 PST

I'm a huge fan of walnut and bright colors, so it's only natural that I'm majorly attracted to this gorgeous Johansson Dresser from Khouri Guzman Bunce Limited.
The piece is made from a thin skin of lacquered aluminum, which encases a dresser constructed of walnut burl exteriors and solid walnut interiors. Each drawer features handmade glides and milled copper pulls. Bright pops of color contrast gorgeously with the rich walnut burl. While the dresser is shown here in both fire engine red and kelly green, you can specify individual finish color and custom size when ordering the dresser.

Khouri Guzman Bunce Limited is made up of David Khouri and Roberto Guzma of design firm Comma, as well as Christiaan Bunce of Girth Design. The three are now the driving force behind KGB Limited, and their new line of handcrafted American furniture can be seen at KGB Limited's new showroom in Chelsea's Gallery District.

Mixing modern design with timeless craftsmanship, KGB Limited uses materials ranging from Pyrex to fumed white oak. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by in person, or peruse all of KGB Limited's gorgeous designs online.

Zen Out With Lotus-Inspired Décor

There is something so special about the graceful shape of the lotus flower. But what's even more beautiful is the story of how the plants grow and develop: out of the muck at the bottom of a river or lake, deep-rooted and gnarled roots develop into an absolutely beautiful flower. The shape of the lotus has long been associated with zen thought and Eastern design. Enjoy these pieces of home décor that pay homage to the lovely lotus!
