My ongoing search for a new media center brought me to an unlikely place—Pottery Barn. I was surprised to find the Payton Media Center. It features a simple design and an amazing amount of storage.

I have not featured a whole lot of Room & Board furniture, but for awhile now, it has been one of my favorite furniture stores. A piece I have had my eye on is the Perspective Bed (pictured above). It is a unique take on the classic modern metal bed, with the footboard [...]
