These could maybe be an alternative to the style of beds in the first photo, although it would be a distant second place. I am dying over the upholstered look.

Elephant Doorstop

I love unexpected details in a room. It's fun to throw in a couple conversation pieces - items that draw in the eye and that can't be immediately tagged as Pottery Barn or IKEA.<br /><br />We like to keep the door to our walk-in closet open (I'm in there a lot and plus I keep my jewelry on shelves mounted to the inside of the door) so we needed a doorstop. I scored this little (he's only about 4" tall) antique doorstop from eBay for $7 (that includes shipping - and this guy weighs about 3 lbs).<div><br />A little weird? yes. Unexpected and fun?
