Sofa searching is like soul searching. [Or soul mate searching.] It’s really tough to find the perfect one!

Anywa, I may or may not have mentioned the mess of a basement I have due to Hurricane Irene’s visit in August of last year. We had just moved in in July and the finished basement was a major plus – until the hurricane hit and we had to rip up the floors, cut up some sheet rock and treat it for black mold. Gross!

I’m mentioning the basement now because we’re finally having someone come in to work on it – which means time to plan for new furniture! Specifically a sofa, because that’s what will be the most important down there. There are tons of furniture stores NYC and NJ, but since I probably won’t venture out, I luckily found a really great site, Comfyco.com, that will deliver to my home for free. Free delivery on a sofa? Yes, please!

Plus, they carry Coaster Furniture, which is perfect for what we’re planning for – stylish but extremely affordable. Since it’s just the two of us, the basement isn’t a place that we’ll use all that often, but I am thinking that I want a nice spacious sofa, maybe even a sofa bed, for when we have extra guests. (So they don’t have to sleep on my good sofa!)

I’ve still got a while to browse, as they are just about to start fixing up the sheet rock, but the last time I purchased a sofa, it was a long process. Although, I am really liking those modern sofa beds that look like a normal sofa by day and then flatten out by pushing the back down by night. Do you have any sofa recommendations? Sleeper sofas?

I wonder how many of those old IBM clocks I’ve stared at over the years… just waiting for class to be over… Well, somehow it hasn’t stopped me from wanting the newly reproduced 1960′s IBM 13.5 Standard Issue Clock . IBM partnered up with the American company Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. to bring this classic back to life.

Maybe you’ve seen this everywhere already, maybe not but whatever. I’m not one to care – if it’s something I like, I’m posting about it! This “ Furniture Tasting ” project by Japanese/Portuguese duo Ryosuke Fukusada and Rui Pereira was inspired by the idea that the contemporary furniture industry is feeding us so much that it’s nearly impossible to “digest” it all. I love furniture and decor, and often times I say it’s good enough to eat… and now, I can have my chair and eat it too! They suggest that perhaps it would be easier to present the furniture in a new way – maybe by using a custom waffle-making mold: “an object that mixes both traditional Japanese small cakes ‘baby castella’ with a Portuguese egg based pastry called ‘ovos moles’
