Under Pressure…

Mar. 11 10

One of the pressures of running a small business on your own is the feeling that you should always be at home working. And I must admit that I feel guilty whenever I leave to go somewhere that will take me away from work. But today, I am flying to California for a few days to spend time with my Dad for his birthday and I am super excited.

All of my posts are scheduled, so nothing will change here on the blog or site while I am gone. But if you email me, it may take me a day or two to respond. Hope everyone has a great rest of their week.

P.S. These images are from the amazingly talented Carl Kleiner, from his PRESSURE series. Do you ever feel pressured to do or not to do something because of your business?

Room by Room – the Nelson Daybed

Mar. 11 10

This week, Room by Room with FormFire Glassworks is looking at the Nelson Daybed, or Case Study Daybed.

Designed by George Nelson in the 50s as part of the Case Study Program in Southern California, this piece functions as both a sofa and a bed. Perfect for a quick nap, rear bolsters are removable for use as a bed. A thinline platform and steel v-shaped legs make this a very light addition to the modern home, great for use in small-space living. Available through Modernica, it is also available as a full bed size, and has options for side bolsters and a table extension. Daybeds are a nice use of space, looking like a finished living space during the day, and available for extra sleep space at night.

Some days are just more tired than others, and today’s accessory picks center around nap and relaxation time. A rolling side table adds a vintage feel, topped by a vase in matte and glossy finishes. A bird quilt echoes the clean lines of the daybed, while a graphic print gives a modern feel with a dash of color. A t-shirt rug is a great place to set your feet after a long day.

Next week I will choose a new iconic piece and give you my picks for accessorizing your modern home.
