Trumystique's Profile

I love this space. My heart sped up when I saw the first pic. But where do you sleep?

This is the only apartment that has moved me to comment. I love it!

About 2 years ago I got the foam replaced in my MCM daybed by Foam Center Inc on 180 Bay Ridge Avenue Brooklyn NY 11220. The name of the person who does the work is Debra and her number is 718.680.8550. I would have had the full cushions redone if I had been able to decide on a fabric. When I do finally decide on a fabric I will go back to her though.

I had this same issue with an MCM daybed. I went with firm foam with a separate topper.

You could go with foam but thats not going to fit as well with the style of the bed. I would go with the suggestions of Indian/thai mattresses as well. The next best thing would be the custom futon mattress. Please avoid the Urban Outfitter version as it doesnt hold up well over time.

Now to comment on the design: its too spare and cold for my taste. There are no personal details. Looks like a hotel and that there is not someone who really live theres. More art, photos, plants might make this look less cold.

I covet a Jielde lamp. I love love love them.

I loved this when it was a Housecall and love it now. Captures a bright and airy global aesthetic that I love!!!

This is not fair. Just link to the contest thats it. You are totally rigging the outcome by highlighting these entries or the previous 10.

I am going to be a lone voice. I vote for putting a loft bed in the 4 ft by 8 ft room- because you will spend most of your time in there sleeping.My one proviso- make sure you have ceiling that are 10 ft high or above. Why do I recommend this? Because if you hate making your bed everyday and dont like guests in your bedroom this can work. Further, you can enjoy entertaining and relaxing in a spacious living area.

Make an aery out of your loft bed and by keeping all your luxury high quality bed linens white and fluffy. Also make sure you have good lighting in your loft so it doesnt feel claustrophobic. Then below the loft bed install much shelving and make it a dressing room with huge mirrors and go very hollywood regency. Make sure you section off a part of this "dressing room" with a silk curtain or other sumptuous fabric on the frontend- so you can hide ugly stuff like suitcases, vacuums on the back end etc.

An advantage of this layout if you have more possiblity of comfortably having guests stay over.

In the living room create one area for a multipurpose desk/dinner table near the front door and create your living room with an apartment sized sofa near the window. Place a long ottoman below the window, place the TV along the wall shared with the WC and then use something like a slipper chair for extra seating and a small coffee table.

I think daybeds with trundles are the way to go in a guestroom. I spent months looking for one and lucked out by finding an MCMish one on Craigslist. It would be perfect if it was a daybed with popup trundle. This makes it so much easier for older adults. Though I liked the Lubi and it seemed pretty comfortable there is no way I would force my older relatives to sleep on this thing (way too low when opened to a full).
