BAHAHA! So sorry for your SO, but that's hilarious.


Tell Us: What's Your Biggest DIY Disaster?

Erin, we do have the baseboard radiators throughout the house. The top of the desk is bigger than the legs, so that piece of furniture was easy. But it is really tricky in other rooms. Wall mounted shelves are great for rooms like that.

R. Sroda, that is really tiny! We actually don't have any crown moulding in that room. The window moulding is Behr's untinted white in semi-gloss finish. The walls are painted with Martha Stewart's "Cumulus cloud" and the ceiling is Martha's "Enamelware" both in satin finish.

Sorry, I should have broken down the budget in the post.

Sofa (on sale): $680
2 gallons of paint: $60
3 IKEA Lack wall shelves: $35
Total: $775
So, with sales tax, it was just over $800.

About the window blinds, I suppose I will have to ask our next house guests! The two trees outside each window provide privacy. And the husband and I actually have slept in the room to test everything out, but the sunlight never crossed our minds since we don't sleep past sunrise. Blinds are all we use in our bedroom. So thanks for bringing that up!

RocketScientist, good point! We purchased it when they had the big sofa sale last year, I forgot all about that. And thank you for the compliments.

Thank you so much everyone! The sofa bed does have a very small footprint, it actually pulls lengthwise. See more about it here: http://www.littlevictorian.com/2012/06/choosing-perfect-sofa-bed-for-such.html

As for the floors, we pulled up the carpet and they were already painted white, and we love them!
