Instead of purchasing a new bed, I used this storage boxspring/base from Ikea. Fits perfectly under my king bed and holds an enormous amount of stuff. Because it has gas assisted springs it is pretty easy to open - even with a king-size tempurpedic on top.

I purchased the euro version and a euro chip about 3 years ago. The door works fairly well for my large male. Raccoons were still able to push their way through the door lock. I have moved the cat-door to a window about 5 feet off the ground and built a small perch for my cat to jump to. Strange, but raccoons can't jump. No more raccoons in the house.

Full length, accentuates those ceilings and helps hide the fact the sliding door is not centered on that wall.

I love the stairs with no rail, perfect. Did you pull permits for this renovation? How did they let you get by with the open railing?

thebear,

Bronxmaria is only partially correct, most high end windows are made so that the panes can be replaced and reglazed if they fog. Cheap vinyl windows for the most part must be replaced, rather than repaired.
