Sports Furniture

Because football season is upon us, I thought finding football and sports related furniture might be fun!
Not all of it fits the upcycle/recycle theme.


Typical Football Chair -- I could watch a couple of games from here!


chair made from recycled footballs

Soccer ball chair - 
the chrome base makes me think of the glorious 70s!
Another 70s find... beanbag chairs :)

Football helmet themed chair
claustrophobic for anyone??


For a boys room, the bed had yard lines,
and the headboard is like a scoreboard!
Go Home Team!

white color sofa design



Couch made from recycled soccer balls
Innovative but I'm a little .... something
the uneven edges would drive me crazy :)






Football chair for an office!


Would this be the ultimate man-cave chair?
Seems like it to me!






And the tennis ball chair ... :)

Home made candles

 



Tree Branch Votive holders















































Masculine Bedrooms

Manly bedrooms that look really neat! 


The silver head/foot boards, with dark linens, against a brick wall.
very classy!
I found this one interesting - not sure I could have
a black wall, but it sure adds a touch of something!

This one is simple in appeal, easily a man's room --
one who's willing to incorporate a special female someone, perhaps?

I like the clean lines of the bed

Platform style bed, lots of black and white
when you look for masculine bedroom styles

Again, the black and white
but I like the bold green on the wall hanging!

and of course.... 
does he come with the accessories???

Beds!

Got to looking at beds, wood beds, carved beds... you get the idea :)


What a way to wake up -- to sunshine every day!



Interesting carved headboard, and a good base to put a mattress on

Another version of a sunshine-y day!

Wonderfully rustic



Another sample of rustic goodness,
love the curving woods used in this one


The simplicity of of the arch and columns
plus the melding of wood and metal together is terrific

Another great sampling of rustic wooden bed





This one makes me think of a place with lots of trees,
and deep snows in winter -- wouldn't it be great
to snuggle up in this bed?


This one's very airy, made of willow
Looks like twinkle lights are woven in


Wow - that's one big bed!

$15 000 Tree Bed from Rustic Furniture - Photo
this one was labelled $15,000 - yikes! 
Wonder what kind of tree branches those are?

The canopy on this, along with the way its designed
to look like an oval or circle -- very impressed with it!




But I like these last two the best -- clean simple lines
with wood that looks softened with age.

A Little bit of Gypsy


Just a little bit of gypsy in me today....
a round bed: innovative! love the hangings

Great vibrant colors here

Doesn't this look just magical???
Who's gonna bring me a glass of wine?



Never thought about stringing lights in my headboard
wouldn't this provide a soft glow?






I really like how soft and relaxing this one looks
Couldn't you just curl up there with a good book?


Purples and blues ..... Wonderful!


Great fish tank headboard! lovely and relaxing

Miscellany

A friend shared the following pix with me, so I'm passing them on :)

 Isn't this a cozy little cabin?  Almost perfect :)
Love the little glass "portholes" to let in the light 

Old fashioned gas stove - I cooked on one of these for six years
Was wonderful :)

This picture instantly reminded me of my gramma's pantry in her basement.
Just a room full of shelves like this, lined with jars of preserves.
She made the best dill pickles ever!  Miss you, Gramma!

 A stone cabin - I like building with local materials 


A wood stick burning furnace.
Great pictures, hope you liked them as much as I did !
