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

@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.

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.
-
Some posters and art work in the 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.
-
Your invited.
-
Great DC-3 @ROman ! Like the tin toys, the whole room
-
Thanks to the above comments. It's a fun spot to hang out, I spend a lot time there.
-

-

Un saludo!
