Does anyone know where I can find a chair like the orange one in the top photo?

I was wondering if anyone has tried to get the height of a box spring with the firmness of just having a mattress on the floor? We have a traditional bed frame w/ box spring but much preferred how firm the mattress was when we just moved in had it placed directly on the floor. I have been thinking about how to make a wooden "box spring" that could sit inside our bed frame and give the mattress height while still being very firm. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions about how to do this, or if you can buy such a thing already made, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I think that's a great idea! I could even see putting paper up that indicates what's in the drawers. Like a line-drawing of a set of paint brushes or tubes printed out on a colorful sheet of paper could mark the drawer for art supplies, etc.

I for one would love to see photos of your set-up. We are going to try to create something similar (2 twin beds in and L shape) for our den/TV room/guest room. So far I don't really have any examples to go by. Please share pics :)

Thanks!

I know this is off topic, but does anyone know anything about the wall rack in the photo above? I keep seeing it pop up in photos of rooms I love, but can't find out who makes it/ where to get one.

Thanks!! FF

I love the couch by the front door! It looks like it was some sort of bed in a previous life? Can you tell us more about it?

Kyle

Your home is a delight to see and an inspiration to all of us who love color.

Question - can you tell us more about your "clusters" of paper lanterns? Does each have its own cord and plug? If so, how on earth did you plug that many into one outlet? A surge protector?

Thanks!

I'm sorry, but how on heart are they justifying asking $550 for this bench?? It's just a set of backless wooden cubes with legs! Does this seem nuts to anyone else?

Thanks for posting info on the table! Glad to know the source, but sadly, it is still out of my price range. You know you're a grad student when IKEA is too expensive! Sigh.

So, does anyone have any ideas for what to do with all those book ceiling lights? Will these shades work with those as well? Or are we stuck with re-wiring....ugh! I was in Home Depot the other day and these literally come in packs of 2. They should be banned.

ps - I'm on the East Coast, and am devastated to here that the boob light is a nationwide plague.

I found it! It's the GIDEA table. But it's not on their site. I will call the store and see if they still stock it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Maria,

Is there any chance you remember the name of the dining table (or does anyone recognize it?). I am this close to driving the 4 hours to my nearest IKEA and just look around for it.

They have a table on the website called GRIMLE (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60102369), but it doesn't quite look like yours... Also I am hoping that yours did not cost $400!

Thank a ton! I am bookmarking your slide show for future reference.

This is the most amazing house tour I have seen so far. I feel like I want to just move in! Can you tell us more about the dining table? I am assuming its Ikea, but can't find it on their website. Perhaps it's and "in store only" item??

Bravo!!!

I really like the cluster of paper globes over a ceiling fixture, as shown in Ursula's room. Did you use the cord to hang them all directly from the fixture? What sort of fixture was it before the globes? I am trying to figure out if something like that would work with our fixture... Thanks!

I agree. The old lady with the blow dryer looks dead to me. It's really scary.

southernwayfarer,

maybe something like this at urban outfitters?

I like the way it lets you display photos/postcards both horizontally and vertically. I am thinking of getting one for photographs.

Good luck!
