Hey Penske, or anyone for that matter. What do you know about Kiehl's Baby Diaper Rash ointment did you use for the Penske-ettes ever? I have to go to Saks today and get some.

Because you all have such good taste.

I want to buy a new bed. King sized (not that California King bullshit).

Anyone have any favorite furniture shopping websites?

I always start at Design Within Reach to sort of get my bearings as to what is out there. The showroom in Houston isn't too far from me, so I get to do my furniture lusting in person. (My parents bought the Sonno mattress and absolutely love it. Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not to upgrade to a king or keep my queen, but I'll probably go that route whenever I get off my ass and make a decision.)

When Thrugreed was looking for a couch a few years back, I asked my design loving brother for recommendations of places to look and he shot back this list, which may give you a start on knowing what else is being made these days. The list is a few years old so some of the sites might be dead.

Also, locally, Kuhl Linscomb is the authorized dealer in Houston for a lot of designers, and they have links to a lot of manufacturers out there on their website.

ETA: Also, don't forget to check out Ikea. The designs are good, and you really can't beat the price. (Their website doesn't nearly do them justice. There are two that I'm thinking of in particular that I think are rather nice.)

Or Ligne-Roset. I remember talking with someone at length about the beds over there from here, but I can't remember who it was.

Good hunting.

I tend to like antique-y sort of things. Dark woods.

Well, pompy wouldn't be your style, then . . .

Horchow and frontgate are two places to try, although I'd just hit the local furniture places (or take a trip to north carolina).

High or low? Four poster or just a headboard? Looking to match other furniture or are you redoing the whole bedroom?
