Whimsy. That's what I would call one of my rooms in my dream home's west wing. It would be filled with high shelves for my books, lots of plump couches, a narra (indigenous red wood) desk, and loads of whatever fun stuff I could think of filling it with. I've been thinking of including small taxidermy work in this list, but I find it too macabre (right, PETA?).

Here's a decorative creature which could be cute, functional AND animal friendly. It's what its creators at Chic Sin Design call a "Sleeping Grizzly Bear Bean Bag". This washable  bear measures 51 x 70 x 103 centimeters and can be used as a pillow, chair, foot stool, etc. It's a bit pricey though. You can get this from Etsy for $135.
