Little details

We've made a few small home decor purchases recently that I wanted to share.

While our $2 plastic Ikea knobs were cute...
...these glass ones in shades of blue really class up our dresser. The online store sells some really lovely knobs and door pulls.
 We replaced a boring clock on our bookshelf with...what else? A book clock! Isn't it neat?
We're still on the fence about our last acquisition. After we had seating shortages during a Super Bowl party, we decided to buy some extras, so we bought this pouf from CB2 (pouf seems like a really politically incorrect term, but that really does seem to be what these are called).
It's a little bigger than we expected so it won't slide under the sofa or coffee table. It's also a lot firmer than we thought it would be, so it doesn't seem like it would be very comfortable to sit on, which, of course, is what we bought it for. Might be time to make our own with some poly-fil or bean-bag filler, but honestly I'd much rather be lazy and buy something. There are some lovely Turkish and Moroccan styles available, but they are all pretty expensive and don't look any more comfortable. Etsy sells covers, so that might be something. Any suggestions from you? It's been a while since we got any comments.

Seriously, is that thing covered in garter stitch? That's hysterical! I favor something like http://www.amazon.com/Dorel-Home-Products-Delaney-Ottoman/dp/B0042TXBS8/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_1/191-7272954-8443054
that you can sit on AND hide yarn in.

Also, the book clock is fabulous.
