Our friend Sarah found some cut up pieces of a tree trunk by the side of the road one day, and she had the great foresight to use them as the foundation for this lovely day bed. She had the pieces cut into even blocks and set two laminated sheets of plywood that she covered with a canvas drop cloth on top of the big, sturdy feet. She bought a twin-sized futon and a bunch of down pillows and recruited Friends & Relations to design and fabricate simple but elegant removable covers for the mattress and pillows. The painter's linen she chose for this upholstery project has a great texture and rich brown color. We plan to add two large throw pillows with a pattern that will pick up on the blue upholstery covering her club chairs.
