Feature New and Cool

This “featured” column is all about new — new furniture styles, new fabric designs, new ideas.  New!  Well, we’ve feature the Tousley before — its one of our favorite new designs.  Now we have it in a brand new look on the floor.  This time we’re showing it in a single sofa rather than a two or three piece sectional.  The addition of the sofa means you can use the Tousley in spaces that wouldn’t accommodate the larger sectional, making it perfect for many Des Moines and Iowa rooms that are beautiful — but smaller than an Olympic pool.

Also, Marlene had dressed it in a wonderful leather and paired it with the beautiful Diva chair in a contemporary print fabric.  Notice the small lumbar pillows in a striped fabric she added to the Tousley.  Then she added a fabulous rug (Marlene is a wizard with rugs).  The fun glass table you see with the group is called the Daisy.  The glass table top is actually shaped in a floral design.  Cool.

Diva, Daisy & Tousley — weren’t they a folk group from the sixties?  Puff.
