The Tweed Storage Sofa from Urban Outfitters: This upright sofa opens up for storage and folds down to become a bed. At 75" long, this is a an excellent use of space.
•MarthaWatch™ - Martha Stewart loses billionaire status: Strangely, it took awhile for her personal stock to go down. Nevertheless, we are not worried about the Marthinator.

Land of the Big Puts 'Too Big' to the Test: Out in Greenwich, CT, residents are irked by a new big home being built in their midst. How big? At 39,000 square feet, it would be twice the size of Micheal Jackson's Neverland Ranch.

The Pharos light from Niche Modern: We saw this at the Arch Digest show yesterday and they ARE nice. Opaque and transparent colored glass is a new twist on Niche's fine line.

I saw that sofa on the Urban Outfitters web site a while back and think the design has potential - they have a couple of storage sofas. But does anyone know anything about comfort and quality. I don't have a lot of faith in Urban.
I've seen that sofa design before, but in a home. I often wished I could find just such a piece. Would that I could, just not by Urban Outfitters (I worry about the quality), and certainly in other fabrics. Does anyone know of other sources for this design?
I just noticed that cart from CB2 earlier today in their catalog. Wish they produced it in a black frame and in a longer size.
I saw that UO sofa in the catalog I just got from them and was intrigued as well, but I am also concerned about quality.
