      @Graeme:

      I've spent far too much on a very old, and very purple Chesterfield sofa. 😶

      Oh, and it's currently in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, which is about as far away as it is possible to get from me.

      Whoa! That's wild, @Graeme ! I'd really like to see pictures of it in the room it will live in it's not too much trouble. I think it's beautiful.

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

        It'll take a month or two for the sofa to get here, as it won't fit into a blue bag, but I'll post pics when it does. I'm afraid that my place isn't very exciting, though.

              There are a few photos of it earlier in this thread. (Here.)

                Looks like a great space Graeme and an even lovelier couch.

                  @Graeme Did you ever select a daybed?

                    @Bluegrass:

                    @Graeme Did you ever select a daybed?

                    I didn't @Bluegrass. I'm not sure if I'd have space for one with the sofa I'm getting. I was originally planning on going with something a bit smaller.

                    If you're looking for suggestions, I was considering the following: Topos Workshop WW2 camp bed, Zeitraum Guest, Turtle Stapelbett, Rolf Heide stacking bed, and the  Lönneberga stacking bed. That one has a cushion that acts as storage for bedding and pillows, which is a clever touch.

                    Vintage pieces: Chesa Laria daybed, a large daybed by Børge Mogensen, and Wim Rietveld Arielle daybed, which can be found cheaper elsewhere.

                    Some of the above are rather expensive! :o

                    The idea was to get a piece that would function as a sofa, but also could be used as a guest bed, hence the stacking beds, and things like the Chesa Laria that takes a Euro sized single mattress.

                      That Chesterfield is incredible @Graeme! I've always wanted one but I've never found one that suited my tastes in the US. I'd love one exactly as you've specified!

                        The living area always stays pretty tidy-you can probably notice the little family of stuffed animals on the couch.  My wife loves them and they are a stand-in for the kids and pets we've yet have.  Stuffed animals are marvelously self-sufficient.  You can travel for months on end and they don't make messes, require babysitting, and they rarely have their friends over to party.

                        The second shot is my office-I am required to keep the door shut most of the time.  Right now its actually reasonably neat-it gets far worse.  I could use some more books shelves because the library is now spilling in stacks onto the floor.  This is what the life of an English professor actually looks like.  Not featured: my collection of guitars which hang distractingly on the wall reminding me that I'd rather be jamming than grading or writing!

                        In any case, its a delightful little home with a cosy front porch from which I can watch the intoxicated local university students stumble home, walk-of-shame, and occasionally fight! ; )

                        Un saludo!

                          I thought I would put up my favorite space in my house. At the top of the second floor, the house was built with a flex room, so I turned it into a bar. An airplane themed bar.

                              Latest addition is the huge DC3 above the bar back.


                              I have about 14 old tin toy planes that still work , here's 2 of my favorites.


                              I guess I'm still a child at heart.

                                Then off of the bar is a balcony, a space which I also love.
