These are my favorite fabrics in the whole contest! I'd use INARI to make a slip-cover for the day-bed in my livingroom or for the giant pillow that are on it now. The heavy 14oz. organic cotton / hemp canvas is perfect for faking upholstery / couchiness.

My husband and I sold all of our furniture when we moved from LA to Chicago. We are finally moving in to our new apartment on May 1st.
