re the final height of the bed: remember that instead of a boxspring or a platform you can always use a BUNKYBOARD. A Bunkyboard gives you a little height (about 2"), and is a great compromise between a boxspring and a platform. A Year in Bed: A Modest Proposal |

Oh yes: take out that whole ledge that's been built onto the floor. Way too massive. Just take *the whole thing* out; don't leave a bit of it; set a simple tile area in front of the fireplace. You'll seriously open up the room. What To Do With Stone Fireplace? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy San Francisco |

I had a somewhat similar predicament... used a chisel and a crowbar and worked very carefully, slowly... almost all the rock just lifted right off, revealing very dirty and very smelly tile underneath... cleaned it up and it's good as new. If that rock is overlaid you really might be able to just remove it with a chisel and crowbar (and as someone said in these posts, chisel the mortar, not the stone.) What To Do With Stone Fireplace?

and if you do like it, you can always look for a "vintage" one on eBay -- much less expensive than new. Apartment Therapy DC | Good Questions: Finding the Louis Poulsen Snowball in DC? |

Oh yes: if you can't get the name of a contractor from someone, look in the yellow pages to start. Call a couple of them. Frankly, in this economy, a lot of contractors are taking on very small jobs for very small money. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Good Questions: Ideas to Disguise Decorative Column? |

If you do decide to take it out: enmnm's idea to replace the hole in the granite with a trivet is a dandy idea. Or you could use a large, decorative, unusual tile. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Good Questions: Ideas to Disguise Decorative Column? |

You don't need a "budget for a remodel". This needn't be an overwhelming job, and might be far simpler than you think. At least get someone to look at it, tell you what it is, and what it would cost/involve to remove it and do any necessary patching. If you ever wanted to do a more thoroughgoing remodel you could do that at a later date. Avoid thinking "all or nothing". Get the information, so that you can make an informed decision. Leaving the column there b/c you assume that you can't afford to take it out is a big design mistake. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Good Questions: Ideas to Disguise Decorative Column? |

Since you're buying the place, why not just find out what the heck that column's all about. *Is* it load bearing? Does it actually contain wiring? As far as you know, it may be purely decorative and can be removed. Or, if it does contain wiring, the wiring can possibly be relocated. It's worth it to find out *exactly* what this column is all about. Apartment Therapy Chicago | Good Questions: Ideas to Disguise Decorative Column? |

one other observation: did you notice how the women are sitting off to the side, and only the guys are actually sitting on this thing? it's an anti-nesting, pro-testosterone- pumping structure. Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Try This At Home? Giant Net for Hanging Out |
