The great outdoors

There's another post I liked from madaboutthehouse.com - all about outdoor rugs.  I love the idea of creating your own sitting room outside.  Take a look at cuckooland.com for see some of their really reasonable range which are all £49.95.  But while I was there, I was also taken by their hammock and hanging chair range - always quite difficult to find I think, but there are some surprisingly great options here. Below are my favourites...

Bali Outdoor rug - £49.95

Salsa marine hammock - £36.95

Double hanging Cacoon - £325

Globo hanging chair & stand - £665

Karma chairs in vintage style

I know summer is coming to an end, but I would love a few of these chairs around my camp fire. From Karma Living these chairs are available in a variety of vintage fabrics and you can find them at gilt.com. 

A rocking horse with a difference

Love this beautifully designed new take on the classic childrens' rocking horse.  Let your kids have some fun on the 'Googy' - from Slovenian designer Nina Mihovec for Novak.  From £269 from googy.eu.

A marvellous John Rocha pouf

I'm a great fan of the humble pouf.  Here's a lovely, practical and affordable one from Debenhams from the John Rocha diffusion range 'Rocha.John.Rocha'.  Simple things. 

Iconic Interiors

If you know your Eames from your Corbusier then this site I stumbled across it the other day could be for you.  Selling beautifully recreated design classics you can get your hands on high quality furniture of the likes of the Barcelona chair, an Eames lounger and the Bibendum chair.  Take a look for yourselves at www.iconicinteriors.com.

This one's for my cats...

For all you cat lovers out there - you've just got to love this.  A cat scratcher and lounger in one.  And it helps save your furniture to boot!  What's more, if your adorably picky feline doesn't fancy his new toy, given its gorgeous curvaceous form and tactile covering this could easily double up as a small stool or foot rest.  You can order them from Pet Fusion in the states, but I'm sure there must also be a UK seller somewhere (I briefly saw them on fab.com)...  Go on, indulge your feline friend. You know you want to.

Oh my word, I think this is gorgeous.

As well as doing a whole range of rugs, cushions and underlays, www.auskin.com do a fabulous range of luxurious sheepskin beanbags that you just want to sink into. Available in 3 sizes, they come in a selection of colours from natural tones to bright reds and purples. Why should kids have all the fun.  I want one.  

Beanbag with a difference

Brilliant for kids and big kids alike.  Apparently they adjust to your body shape allowing you a 'natural and relaxed posture with plenty of support'!
