Sponsored post was my first thought. This device is absurd and paid posts should be labeled.

Despite its design, these don't have an actual dock connector. Instead, you must shove a charging cord through the back and out a hole. No speaker either... another illusion. I wish they would make a functional version with the same form and material.

I particularly like the reverse loft in the first shot. Bed on the bottom seems obvious now, but I don't believe I've seen that done before.

If you mount the TV, make share it's adequately shielded from the heat if you actually use the fireplace...high heat can shorten the life of electronics and may damage some types of displays that are more sensitive. Also, the viewing angle may be too high for comfortable viewing.

Another alternative would be a corner tv stand that replaces the bookshelf. Moving the chairs to share the rest of the wall should allow you to devote the opposite wall to a new sofa.


Ideas for Arranging Two Sofas? Good Questions

I got a compact countertop dishwasher and it made my life much easier for years while I lived alone. Agree that it's tough to fill a full size one, but the tiny ones fit just 6-8 place settings or 2-3 and other prep stuff like small pots, pans and cooking utensils. Highly recommend for anyone who lives in an apartment without an installed dishwasher if they do a lot of cooking. They run about $300 last I checked. Mine was made by edgestar...it was easy to use and ran very quietly.

My only word of caution is to make sure your dishes fit the interior well...I had somewhat large dinner plates from crate and barrel that were a tight squeeze. Friends who bought one from the same company since say theirs is much more spacious and didn't have the same issue.

If you're interested in repackaging the games, you might try your local arts & crafts store for same-sized storage ideas. I found this modular stackable container by darice intended for beading supplies at a nearby Michael's. I was specifically looking for something portable for a card game that had lots of additional stray counter pieces, but there were lots of options.
