A sofa by day, and a guest bed by night, a daybed is a versatile space-saver. Traditional Victorian style wrought iron daybed frames were originally handmade well before metalworking machines became available. So unless you're shopping antique stores, most wrought iron daybeds you find will be reproductions.

I admit it: I have a slight obsession with daybeds, and this Canopy Daybed with Trundle (originally $1,229, on sale for $999), is absolutely no exception. This looks like the bed I want to sleep in when I visit some well-to-do distant maiden aunt's country home on a breezy summer weekend. I'd snuggle up, pull the canopy curtains, and plunge into a dog-eared copy of one of my Jane Austen novels.

I have no need for more living room furniture, but just in case someone steals my sofa and armchair, the Wellington Day Bed ($2,495) from Restoration Hardware is first on my must-have list. The frame is reminiscent of bamboo in shape, and uses a mortise-and-tenon joinery that's handcrafted from solid hardwood with mahogany veneers. I'd want to make this rather stuffy frame pop with some inspired pillows, but other than that, I can't think of anything else I'd change about this charming piece of furniture.

I was unable to attend ICFF 2007 last month, but my top secret spy was sweet enough to sneak a peek at the Humanscale Design Studio's prototype for its new chaise lounge workstation. It's geek, it's chic and sadly, we can't get our mittens on it yet.
The piece was designed to marry a modern lounge chair and ottoman with an ergonomically designed laptop computer support.
