Speaks to my soul

There are certain things that just speak to my soul. The shoe department at Nordstroms, most things from Banana Republic, freshly vacuumed floors, a sparkling clean car, freshly bathed children, things like that.

Very often I will spend time "designing" (in my head that is) the addition John and I plan to do someday that will give us our own house; basically making the current house into a duplex around 5000sf.

The one thing John and I really want is a dedicated guest room. We really, really want this. But the thought of a whole room being used a few weeks out of the year makes the "space conscious/space efficient" side of me cringe.

So I thought of the perfect solution!

"Hello beautiful shelf" is that what you are saying? No, no, no. Say "Hello beautiful shelf that is hiding a bed but I would never have know that!!!" Look below for a super crappy picture but you will get the idea.



The shelves push sideways to reveal the bed that pulls down. A murphy bed!!!

After spending some time checking out prices & websites I couldn't sleep because I was redesigning every room in our house with a murphy bed.

So space efficient! So amazing! Oh my goodness!

Feel free to come stay with us in about 7 years. There will be plenty of room for you, your family, friends, and neighbors.
