I really like the idea behind the space saving pieces, especially the couch/bed pieces, but they seem too cold and stark. Are they comfortable?

I agree redlinevintage....it is an uncomfortable chair.

Good luck with you new space, Jane. I definitely think you should give your son the bedroom, as another poster said, and share the space re: storage. For the living area, I cannot see what the dimension of the living room is, but I would get a comfy pull out (lazy boy makes a v. good sleeper, combo air mattress). If you dont already have a table, I would look for one that is rectangular and that has leaves that pull out to make it bigger and place it near the kitchen area. If you have space outside your door, you might use that as your drop area for shoes, scooter, stroller, etc, putting shoes neatly in a basket or carton. And, look around for hidden storage space....spaces to put shelves, hooks, etc.

And, I dont really understand why some of the comments here are questioning why you chose to get a one bedroom apartment for you and your son. The cost of living here is astronomical...a one bedroom can easily go for $3500 a month. And, while many people live in large apartments, many families, at least here do not. They make the most of their space!
