Like a four poster bed, only it's a sofa. Pull the curtains, shut out the world, stretch out, and relax with a good book.

I first thought of a Moroccan restaurant that has these. But if you've never been to one, these wouldn't be widely known to exist. so - for known to exist by me.

but I'll consider changing my vote.

What wags said.

Think of the young teen couple, exploring their sexuality while watching a scary movie. The bloodlust begins and they snatch down the canopy, and another sort of lust begins...

Sweet. +++

My niece and I had this discussion months ago! <kicks self very very hard> Sure wish I'd thought to post it.

Fire up the spidergoat. I want my canopy in fine feta-scented silk.

I know some girls who have used a lofted bed to provide curtains for their futon couch. Seems to me like there's a market for this.

The fecking frothy stuff should also help to recreate the grainy nature of nostalgic early TV, so that older generations will not feel so outdated when HDTV is the only way to view things.
