I'm a jewelry maker and I store all my beads and findings in Ikea Grundtal magnetic spice jars stuck to magnetic strips above my desk. I love being able to see everything, and clean-up is fast and easy!

The screen and rope wall ideas, while beautiful, worry me in terms of child safety. Anything that she could potentially climb is an added danger. I'm afraid I'd also suggest repositioning the couch... best case scenario you'll fall in love with a new layout, and worst case scenario you can move it back when she's five or six.

They are also delicious with bacon, pecans, and balsamic over ravioli!

I loooove SOWA Open Market, great recommendation. Some amazing Boston restaurants: Sweet Cheeks BBQ in the Fenway area, Highland Kitchen in Somerville, Panza in the North End

I agree with all of the above. Not enough stuff in Boston, not enough stuff in general, and priced (often unattainably) higher than craigslist. I used to check the Daily Scavenger every day and found some real treasures with its help, I really hope it comes back.

I've had this dilemma, I had a double bed with a body pillow which I placed along the long side of the bed during the day so that it was like a couch. Leaning against the wall got a little old, maybe use bigger cushions rather than just a body pillow. I also had a small armchair and comfy desk chair, which I turned around for extra seating when I had company. Hope this helps!
