Someday, I dream of having an office space that doesn't also
have to serve as the guest bedroom. Sadly, we have not yet
reached that day. Still, by keeping my work area confined to
just a small desk and a bookcase, we're lucky to have enough
space to house friends and family when they come to visit. The
makeshift daybed in the foreground, covered by a quilt the boy's
sister made for us, is actually made up of the two twin
boxsprings and a single twin mattress that used to be in the
main bedroom (the second mattress is in the loft). I've attached
a burlap skirt (which matches the curtains -- burlap is really
cheap and a nice warm color) to cover the mattress stack when
it's in daybed mode. When guests are over and we're in need of a
bed for two, we pull the second mattress from the loft and
rearrange the stack to make a big king bed (with the original
legs removed from the boxsprings, the beds now sit evenly side
by side). (Click
