Coffee Time

Ricvictorian's Coffin Coffee Table. Just a few picts of my latest macabre project built on my apartment balcony.I made it myself using hand tools, a sander and spray paint. Well ... the antique coffin handles are the real deal. So if you suspected that I was crazy before this should help to confirm your suspicions.

Coffin Couch - Redux!

Who's Yo Daddy? Jesse James' hideous lilac-colored coffin couch.

So you all probably remember [VonErickson's original coffin couch design] from a previous post I wrote... Very classy and elegant. Behold! It now comes in a pimpin' Jersey Shore version too (not created or endorsed by VonErickson). I can just imagine The Situation gettin' it on with a corpse... All that's missing are a few Ed Hardy emblems, and voilà! Bob's your dead uncle. If this couch had a velvet or leather interior - and if another color scheme was used, however, we *could* have ourselves a winner.

It is *très* unfortunate that both Kat Von D and Jesse James own one... I suppose we are just part of a larger Venn Diagram in which our awesome bubble is overlapping with theirs... *shudder*.

Has anyone else come across "coffin couches" they'd like to share? Do check out the link below for much nicer looking versions of the model featured in this post.

Coffin Couch!

VonErickson's Original Coffin Couch.

The Vampire says: "Wow! Start the coffin couch fund! Seriously."

And el Presidente replies: "El Presidente wants! If this was a cult I would force you guys into hard labour just so I could get this. But it's a club, so I can't force you, but if you want to please me, you could all chip in and then you could come over to my house and sit on it..."

This coffin couch was beautifully crafted by Peter Von Erickson in New York. And the price is, *ahem*, $4,900 USD... so start saving your pennies! It'll totally be worth it. ;-)
