Whatever you get, run your finger in the seams (if its upholstered) to see whether there is evidence of bed bugs. I won't go into details here. but if you google it. well.

You are totally on point....you get...Hi there Pamh,<br />You are totally on point....you get me....YAY!!! However; drum roll please, lol. Due to the recent near hysteria of the NY bedbug infestation, I'm soooo reluctant to purchase used items. I used to love going to the thrift shops (Housing Works is a fave) but am a lil wary of them now. I would love to purchase just about all of my furnishings via Craigslist, thrift shops, etc, as older furniture tends to stand the test of time. Maybe I'll get over my phobia. Anywho, as for your suggestions:<br />1. Love the look of the leather, but will probably go with a microfiber. I have had bad experience with leather couches, due to my own laziness in maintaining them, but I love the look.<br />2.Absolutely love the idea of a dresser as opposed to traditional media center as it would offer much needed storage.<br />3. The smallish coffee table is ideal. I used to have a long rectangular coffee table that just took up way too much space, and was just a surface that collected too much junk.<br />4. Not sure about the side table, as given any available surface, I tend to collect junk. Although, come to think of it, with the lamp there, I wouldn't have room for other crap. Hmmmm.<br />5.Love the shiny coffee table, but think the glass top might reflect more light? <br />6. As for the rug, need a lil more color, as I intend to do dark sofa/loveseat, either charcoal or chocolate. My pop of color needs to be in the rug, window sheers, etc.<br />7. The bed placement is spot on where I was thinking it should go, headboard against the back wall. This way, I can see the tv from the dresser in the living area.<br />8. Love the idea of the canopy as I just want to shield the bed a bit, not the entire area. You pictured it in your response to Evan, and although I'm not a handy woman,I think I can manage this with some help. Or if not exactly as your pic, these ceiling mounted rails with sheers pulled back . http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/Textiles/18891?pageNumber=0<br />9. The white table is a good look, although it might have to be bedside for me, as I tend to be a bit on the clumsy side. I'd be knocking it over constantly.<br /><br />Thank you, gracias, ummm I don't know any other languages, lol. You have definitely given me some great ideas to work with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
