I got to thinking about furniture yesterday, because we visited some friends, and they had some new furniture that was given to them by a neighbor.  It was that crate-style furniture like what This End Up used to sell.  If I ever actually chose and purchased furniture, this is what I would get, I think.  It’s virtually indestructible, which is great with kids!  It would be super-easy to recover, because there is no “upholstery,” just cushions.  And I think that the bare, rustic wood would fit my style pretty well.

IKEA is a good place to get stuff like this.  They sell a variety of furniture, for pretty good prices.  I find that the majority of their styles are pretty modern furniture, but that isn’t all that they have.  In fact, I think they actually do have some of the crate-style furniture I was talking about.

On the other hand, I bet we could build some crate-style furniture, since it’s pretty basic.  Hmmm…
