This Couch Idea Not For The Faint Of Heart

August 27, 2008 by robyn charles

While it’s not the home decorating style most people would have in their homes, recycling used coffins into couches definitely fits the bill for a totally unique way to reuse an item! And for the record, the coffins were tossed either due to slight cosmetic defects or because they’d been used as a display, not because they’d been someone’s final resting place. Still creepy, only slightly less so.

    That is sooo cool!! I love it! You have just convinced me that you can make anything out of an old item. I would adore such an item in my home – except my family and friends will think I’m crazy and have become a vampire! 🙂

Have you read?

Rustic Town Canvas Leather Tote Bag

I absolutely love this bag! I was looking for something that felt a bit more unique than your average tote—and this one totally delivers. The mix of canvas and leather gives it a rustic, well-traveled vibe that I’m obsessed with. It looks like something you’d pick up in a boutique or a vintage market, but it’s surprisingly affordable.

The quality really impressed me—thick material, strong stitching, and the leather straps feel like they’ll last forever. I’ve been using it as my everyday carry-all for errands and casual outings, and it fits everything without losing its shape. It even looks better the more I use it.

Also, I appreciate that it has a bit of a story—it feels like a bag that was made with care, not just churned out in a factory. I’ve gotten so many compliments, and people are always surprised it came from Amazon!

If you’re into that rugged, effortless style and want something durable with charm, this tote is 100% worth it. Check it out here on Amazon.
