In two previous posts Furniture Fashion showed our readers some really stylish coffee tables, and tv stands by Italian manufacturer Tonin Casa. This year at the Milan Furniture Show Tonin Casa revealed some outstanding new dining tables that will be out in a few months. If you can't wait to see some of their new furniture here are a few items from their current modern collection. The Italians do tempered glass as good as any one and this line up features curved and bent glass dining tables in oval, square and rectangular shapes that lend themselves to a wide variety of dining chairs. By the way the dining chairs are also theirs.
In today's age it seem less frequent when you hear about house guests visiting and then staying overnight. A result of this trend is that many home owners decide not to have a spare bedroom with a bed, dresser, night stands, and chests. Instead, that space can be used as an office, craft room, or TV room for the children. This is where the beauty of a futon comes in. A futon can work in many settings from a full-size house to a small condominium. I have one in my own home that sits in my office area. There have been several occasions where I have had guests sleep on it.
Pictured is the basic futon bed and mattress from West Elm. This very simple design is available through the internet only. Moderately priced at $229 for the frame, the West Elm futon may offer you an affordable solution as both a sofa and a bed. The futon mattress is sold separately, and also retails for $229. The frame fits a full size futon mattress. Product: Basic Futon. Dimensions: 71"w x 35"d x 28"h (sofa), 71"w x 53.5"d x 10"h (bed).
