Ariel, I need your help! I hope you still see these comments. I'm moving into a studio of VERY similar layout (alas, no room for my desk like you have yours or we'd have... the same place) and was wondering what size is your bed? I have a queen and am REALLY worried it's too big. Help me out? I can't see the apartment in person for a while but your is so similar and i'd like to partition in a similar way that it gives me a great idea if Queen is really pushing it. I also have a piano!! :)

Love the couch. Where is it from?

I'm looking for a "low-loft" bed similar to yours ... where did you get it? Or if you built it, specs?
Thanks!

The idea of glass on the IKEA table is a good one, but before putting that on top, I suggest buying a fabric like seagrass or something thin but texturally interesting and wrapping the table top in it. You can adhere the fabric to the underside of the table using any means that work with the table material - heavy duty stapler. glue gun, wood glue, it depends on the table. Then put the glass on top of that. You'll have a custom colored tabletop with textural interest and it will be protected by the glass you can have cut at Home Depot or Lowes.

Or if you're really bored and the table isn't too big... you can get a piece of concrete board cut to the table size and use it as a base for a mosaic. To save time you can buy large cut mosaic tiles. It can add flair and interest. This is what I did to my previously ugly side tables and they ended up being the best looking thing in my living room. Good luck
