For most of us, summer time is all about kicking back and relaxing in our backyard (if you’re fortunate enough to have one). Sure, patio furniture can really turn your backyard into a nice little lounge area, but if you really want that perfect summertime oasis you need a good hammock. Now, I’m not talking about some sheet tied haphazardly between two tree branches, I’m talking about a serious hammock crafted specifically for extreme lounging.

The Parrot Bay Barbados Pillow Top Hammock is ideal for the serious relaxation connoisseur. That’s right friends–pillow top. I’ve tried out plenty of hammocks in my day, but I’ve always found them to be missing something. Now that I’ve seen this awesome hammock from Parrot Bay, I’m sure what was missing was cushiony pillow topped goodness.

The Parrot Bay Barbados Pillow Top Hammock is available at Amazon.com for $104.99 (margaritas not included)!

Sized for children from the ages of 5-10.

It takes a true genius to make filing interesting, and that pretty much sums up Alessandro Zambelli. Not to mention his Stack storage system.

Part of an exhibit in Milan Design Week, the Stack system boasts a hodgepodge of vintage filing cabinets, lockers, and cubbies encompassing the indifferent metal and almost-pretty colors reminiscent of days gone be. Even kids that have been stuffed in lockers will appreciate this one.

We love this Hug Chair designed by Cate & Nelson, a find on mocoloco.com. This baby makes furniture shipping a breeze, as it can be unbuttoned to form a flat shape. Neat!

PadStyle.com turned us onto LTD Mod, a neat modern furniture company that makes nature look sleeker than ever before. We love the Delta “low profile” platform bed above, crafted out subtly distressed acacia mangium wood that would be easy to design an entire room around.

Urban Outfitters is many a young person’s go-to destination for skinny jeans and raunchy coffee table books, but the opportunities don’t end there — visit a large store (or the website), and you can buy the coffee table as well!

Let’s take a look at some of our favorite urban Outfitters pieces:

Haruki Slat Bench
Whether you’re looking for a place to sit or simply to store the aforementioned raunchy literature, this Urban Outfitters bench is sure to oblige. We love it in front of the couch in the living room, against the wall in the entryway, or even at the foot of the bed.

Dolce Chair
Treat your tush to something fabulous with this chunky chair in tweed. Stick it in the corner of a room as a classy accent piece, or plant in front of a desk to get down to business.

Antoinette Fainting Sofa
Light-headed urbanites will love this cotton velvet piece, exclusive to the UO website. Once you recover from your spell, we recommending customizing this piece with pillows and throws of your liking.

Can you say “relaxation”? We would, but we’re too comfortable. That’s because we’ve got indoor hammocks on the brain.

If you’re looking to spice up an area of your home or apartment, indoor hammocks are the way to go. Available in tons of styles and sizes, hammocks can fit almost any space. Whether you’re looking for a place to sit, lounge, or even sleep, there’s a hammock out there with your ideal level of comfort.

Choose a ceiling-, rafter-, or wall-mounted hammock for a permanent addition to your home, or invest in a low-maintenance hammock with a stand. You can opt for bright colors, fluffy cushions, authentic ropes, or anything in between.

CoolThings.com posted about a beer keg barstool yesterday on April Fool’s, but we don’t think this boozy piece of furniture is anybody’s joke. Said masterpiece is formally called the KegStool, and you can order one for yourself at www.KegFun.com.

For $99, you get the KegStool kit, which includes everything except the titular keg and some necessary elbow grease. If you’re lazy (or drunk), you can save yourself the hassle by ordering a pre-built KegStool for $100 more.

The writers at CoolThings lamented the KegStool’s lack of functionality, but we think it’s still pretty neat.

Juno has nothing on this.

Meet the Hamburger Bed, the brainchild of a crafty burger enthusiast in Texas. This existential creation challenges our dietary norms, raising questions like “Who’s eating who?” and “Where’s the ketchup?” Also, it’s apparently very comfortable.

According to the creator, Kayla, the hamburger bed is composed of the following:

• circular bed + box frame (circa the ’70s)
• light brown fabric
• slightly darker light brown fabric
• dark brown king-sized fitted sheet
• yellow, green king-sized sheets (skip the yellow if you don’t want a cheeseburger)
• 30 or so pillows
• “a couple of zippers”
• pantyhose (to fashion sesame seeds)

When furnishing our homes, all too often we forget about the bathroom. The bathroom, however small, is one of the most visited areas of the house, among residents and guests alike. That’s why we were so excited to see a selection of innovative sinks on Yanko Designs, including the beauty pictured above.
