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).
