Third the American Leather sleepers. They designed the sofa or chair to have a hollowed out back which provides more storage room for the fold out platform bed. This allows them to fit a standard length mattress. Most sleeper mattresses are about 6" shorter than a normal mattress.

I am wondering, DailyNuance, how you find the before?

The Younger, American Leather, and Gus sofas are available at MOTIF in Kyle and San Antonio as well. They don't show all the models on the floor but you can special order all of them.

I've wanted the Ikea PS daybed since the line was debuted several months ago, but $500 is way more than I am willing to pay. It looks really small scale, too.

I made a batch of barracho beans and the finished product was a little flat. My nine year old daughter tried them and said, "Needs lime". After adding the juice of one lime, the beans were not only good, but fantastic. She was so proud of herself and I was very impressed with her sophisticated palate.

It's got to be frustrating when your pencil rolls off your desk and you have to go downstairs to retrieve it, but it would probably be worth it in that space

I like this store a lot. There is so much to see, and I can take my husband with me. This says a lot for a store's "interesting" factor if it can keep my husbands attention as he is a non-browser.

The light cast by a lamp can mask a multitude of ugliness in a bad kitchen. I grew up in an overhead light averse household, so we always had lamps in the kitchen. It can also be useful if you don't have task lighting to illuminate your work space.

Time after time I read these comments and time and time again I am amazed at how the veil of anonymity emboldens people to harshly criticize honest and sincere effort. There are two commentors above that I see often taking this liberty. Whatever your credentials are, to others on this forum, you may as well be the checker at the local Shop and Save. Unless you are willing to put your name, credentials, portfolios, and published work out to establish yourself as a critic, you just come off as mean. This is not a classroom, a studio, or an architectural journal. It is an informal setting in which to share ideas about design. It's been said before, and I will say it again. If you don't have anything nice to say...

I have a collection of student-y oil paintings that I have picked up from my local Goodwill stores over the years. What draws me to them is not their techical or artistic perfection, but that someone, somewhere, sat down and put on canvas a part of themselves. When they are grouped together they make a fun and interesting composition that really makes me happy.
