furniture inspiration: twin sleeper swing

Grace Anne has shown me that very little can calm a persons mood like the gentle swaying of a swing. She also proves that some of the best naps can be taken in a swing.... indoor or out. Seeing her snoozing so peacefully in her swing inspired me to want a grown-up sleeper swing. Growing up on the water in Mobile, I have always had an affinity for hammocks and outdoor naps, but the swing I want will be a tad more substantial and sophisticated. It will not only be a place to display gorgeous pillows of all shapes and sizes and colors and textures, but it will be the perfect place to steal an afternoon catnap. Below are the swings of my dreams.












One day I will have a big fabulous porch and will take you through, step-by-step, how to create your very own. Until then.....

UPDATE!! Along with the twin sleeper swing are these wonderful little hammocks found on Etsy.com. They are handmade (which we LOVE) and perfect for baby!
