@JANETMC On the color coded books: my thoughts exactly! I'd also like to add that I've already read 80% of the books on my color coded bookshelf.

How your book shelf is organized doesn't say anything about whether or not you read. I am more likely to find a book based on it's color with my photographic memory than I would any other way. My shelves are at the end of a 50 ft hallway and from far away they look so awesome. It's not for everyone, but it's for me. I'm wondering why people take such offense to how other's organize and decorate their homes! Shouldn't people do what works for them?? We're not talking about how animals or kids are treated, or giant issues that really impact others, we're talking about the inside of someone else's home -- homes you will never see!

if you don't put them in rainbow order, it looks better. I LOVE my color coded book shelves! It looked totally chaotic before I rearranged them last year. I get SO many compliments. To answer an earlier question @HHRI: I have other bookshelves in other rooms in my apartment that are not organized by color, so I can easily just put any new books there. Has anyone else noticed that green books aren't as common as any other color??!

I had an Ikea futon the beddinge Remso mattress when I lived in a tiny studio. It has a fold in the center but otherwise it's a regular mattress on a futon frame. It was comfortable and was very easy to open and close. the duvet cover served as the couch cover during the day and there is storage underneath for the pillows during the day and the extra throw pillows at night. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90103584/


Regular, Daybed or Sofabed for Studio?

I highly recommend this stick vac! It's cordless and great for daily vacuuming:
