EIDE Van Hagar posted:https://resourcefurniture.com/product-tag/queen-transforming-bed-systems-transforming-furniture/ Haha, yea maybe about 4x that price. We are getting ready to build a mother in-law cottage in our backyard and are planning on getting a Murphy bed/couch thing like they sell. Asked for quotes on 2, tango and Ito. They had a couple tangos in stock, cheapest being $14k up to almost $20k. No itos in stock, but they start at $10k apparently. Also, they don't use standard sizes mattresses, they are 2" narrower and 1" shorter than a standard queen mattress, so you have to buy one of theirs($1000-$2500) or find a custom one. There is also Expand furniture that makes similar products at a more reasonable price, but still not cheap. Their showroom is very close to the resource showroom in Vancouver bc, so we are going to drive up and check them out in person. The other option I found is Breda beds which is definitely the cheapest option. I am not sure I trust them, since they don't seem to have any showrooms, and all the pictures on their site seem to be renders and not pictures of the actual product. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jan 6, 2020 |

Just throw a queen sized bed in there and be done. My girlfriend works from home, so we set up a nice desk in our guest bedroom (roughly 11x15 room). She works, then naps with our dogs on the bed during breaks.

Suspect Bucket posted:Question. I'm daydreaming future house stuff, one of the absolute requirements is that it's at least a two bedroom, one bedroom to be used for my partner's office. He works from home 4-5 days a week, it will be amazing for him to have his own space with a door. It may also be a guest bedroom 3-4 times a year, with guests staying no more then 4 or so days. Would it be better to get a nice sofa bed, or a legit queen size bed? So lemme share a home office I happen to know about.  Let's use a picture that gives attribution. It's a bit narrow, and aside from a foot path is basically eighteen inches deep in papers and books everywhere. There's an adjoining printer room (a glorified closet) as well. It's a bit of an extreme example, but that's how Captain Grins there is most comfortable writing. So the question is--are you making a home office your partner can work comfortably in however they want, or are you setting aside a portion of a room he can work in, as long as he doesn't let his stuff spread out too much so you can also have your guests over?

Mystic Mongol posted:So lemme share a home office I happen to know about. See, this is the other issue. People look at this problem like "oh it's an office and a guest room!", and they design this thing with some dumbass bed and nightstand or whatever taking up 85% of the space, and then shove a desk and a printer into the corner like "and here's the office part!" So, you end up with a room which the majority of the space is for 'guest room' which you use 4/365 (1.1%) of the time, and the 'home office' part which you use the other 98.9% of the time gets whatever's left over. You're literally planning around something that you use 1% of at the cost of what you use 99% of the time. This gets compounded by this weird idea that if you just have an air mattress or similar for the rare occasion that people stay over, you're a terrible host for daring to not have a fully-stocked extra bedroom 24/7. If your guests are that big of assholes to care about that, they probably should stay in a hotel.

Give the guests your bedroom, sleep on the air mattress for a few days, problem solved inexpensively.

Fortunately, the BF is almost entirely digital. He just needs space for his many work laptops. And again, he's been working quite happily out of a secretary hutch for the past year. We'll work something out. But I'm kind of relieved there's so many options and opinions. I'm thinking the best option is going to be nice convertible sofa we don't mind sleeping in. Guests who aren't picky can sleep there, guests who are picky can take our bed, or get a hotel.

If the primary use of the room is to be an office then it’s idiotic to devote most of the space and the furniture budget to a use that will be occasional at best.

I like the replacement outlets that have a nightlight built in, doesn’t take up a plug. The one I have, the light itself (which is flush) can be clicked a few times to set brightness, and also has an optional louvered screen to make it an up- or down-light. I think it’s this one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Legrand-radiant-White-15-Amp-Decorator-Tamper-Resistant-Night-Light-Residential-Outlet/50253195

My only complaint with that specific one is that it’s a very cool light, like 5000K or something, not terribly cozy or soothing. I’d love to find that same product in like 2700K, that’d be ace.

I have these leviton gfci nightlight outlets in both my bathrooms and I am really happy with them. Just enough light output to be useful but not too bright. The gfci part is kinda redundant since I have gfci/afci breakers in my panel, but it doesn't hurt anything to have extra fail-safes.

I recently bought a house with quite a few mid century design elements. It was subject to a remodel in 2011 that had some corners cut on fixtures. Anyone recommend a site for good quality fixtures with mid century design influences? Ideally we get bright ones as well because the house has only a few can lights and is built into a hillside.

I’m putting in some pendant lights over a small island, these ones in particular The metal tube has three sizes so I can have them either 34 or 40 inches over the counter. 40 seems to go higher than almost any guide says to go but I’m tall and don’t want them blocking me much. I haven’t had an island or pendant lights before, is there some reason I’m missing that make me regret having them that high?
