I took a wander around some of the vintage furniture shops in Melbourne yesterday looking for a new bed. But I did see a few interesting pieces.
This is the Stem dining suite, designed by Grant Featherston, an important Australian designer. You can read more about it here and here. I'm tempted, though it needs some restoration work.
B&B Bambole suite. For sale here.
Cassina Soriana sofa. For sale here. There was also a matching pair of chairs.

I'm shopping for a new bed, and I've seen a few places selling what look to be over-engineered sleep systems, or Schlafsysteme since they all seem to originate from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
This one is by Hüsler Nest, but I've seen similar from Samina, LaModula, Dormiente, and ProNatura.
From top to bottom you have a mattress topper, latex mattress, wood and latex slats, and then a supporting frame.
Has anyone got any experience of these? Are they better than a standard mattress and base?

I have a foam mattress plus wooden slats. I find them more durable and robust than the box spring beds that are popular in America. I've had mine for 8 years and there is no degrading of the mattress or bed.
The only disadvantage is that you can't jump on the bed

Continuing progress- the exterior is relatively close to completion at this point.
The interior is significantly less so.

Looks like it’s going to be super clean. I especially like the huge sliding glass doors. Very jealous, esp since we just cancelled our addition

Yeah, that was a long time ago…

Damn G I can't wait to see the final results.
Our comparatively humble operation nears completion. Having painted the interior and exterior, hung a ceiling fan in the master, hung a chandelier in the dining room, added a new electrical service that isn't a fire hazard, new exterior fixtures to the porch, garage, side, and back of the house, we wrap up with refining our back yard, starting with a new fence we built in cooperation with our next door neighbor.
What was once a paver patio is now flagstone and features a cedar pergola. This involved our removal of 12.5 tons of dirt and concrete, depositing of 8.5 tons of crusher gravel, and cutting and laying a few pallets of 1.5" thick redstone.
All that's left to do is putting furniture and fire pit back, hang market lights, and enjoy our new back yard until next summer's projects, which will include a garden, new windows, and central HVAC.

Holy crap that looks amazing McLain!

I'm assuming no structural implications since it looks plumb and G isn't hospitalized with apoplexy or a heart attack?
We broke in our new back yard with an engagement soiree. I can't imagine a better way of capping off a long project. We will have to think of a way to celebrate next year's projects.
