Have you ever seen a piece of furniture that you were just dying to have? Be careful what you ask for. Coffin Couches make sofas from actual recycled caskets. We're not sure how to tie that together, but it felt right.

Coffin Couches is the ultimate in green furniture design. The couches are made from coffins that they acquired from funeral homes. Apparently, due to health and safety issues, it is illegal for the general public to purchase used coffins, so the company was able to approach the funeral directors with the mindset of recycling.

I'd might as well come right out and confess that I love and am obsessed with Anthropologie.com. Their perfect mix of trendy and vintage-inspired clothing, accessories, and household wares gets me every time.

My latest obsession at Anthropologie is this couch. Dubbed the "Milo Chesterfield", the black and white couch is upholstered in a canvas Marimekko print, made with a cotton and wood construction, and features cute, vintage-y details such as fabric-covered buttons placed perfectly in the center of little tufted squares.

With it's classic, English curved back and crisp, contemporary fabrication, the couch would be a perfect compliment to nearly any home. If you're a modern decorator, the couch will blend right in with your trendy style, and if you prefer a more reserved look, the couch could serve as a really fun accent piece. And that's why I always fall for Anthropologie - they design for everyone!

The couch can be found at (can you guess?) Anthropologie.com, and is priced at $3998.
