Oliver Peake, I am charmed
Just look at this bed, completely charming with its sunken status + super storage combo. Might be a wee bit tricky to make the bed, but designed like this I wouldn't imagine needing to leave it very much anyway.

Pretty Plumbing
Another way to incorporate plumbing into your life - I know you've been desperately needing more ideas, and obviously i live to serve!
urbanproduct...
or... "How it took a Scotsman’s aesthetic vision to fall back in love with my city."
After our victorious (juste, righteous, compulsory...) hockey win over the US at the Olympics, I posted some hockey related storage, including the ‘Schtick” by urbanproduct [up]. What i hadn’t realized was this multi-disciplinary studio, run by Stephen Lindsay, has amassed a collection of products and furniture clearly deserving of a featured post. So here we are...
Those who know me will understand why i've developed an infatuation with these products. Combining natural materials with reclaimed and repurposed items, UP’s aesthetic appears to perfectly balance form and function - and with the occasional sprinkle of Canadiana, i feel good about the world just looking at them!

I often wonder how Canada is positioned in the design world. A young country with so many different cultures calling it home, we lack the consistency of the Scandinavians, the modernity of the Japanese, the historical references of the English or French, but with passionate studios like urbanproduct, Canada is beginning to create its own visual narrative.
Speaking with Stephen, my country and hometown were brought to life, and I came away with renewed excitement about the future possibilities of Canadian design.

THE STUDIO!
DIY Bed Frame
WITH storage! Amazing Ikea hack of Expedit bookshelves. Aesthetics leave a bit to be desired, but at apprx 150.00, it's a pretty cheap solution for a small space.
Guest Wall
Boxetti's Murphy Bed 'wall' comes equipped with a fold-down bedside table, hideaway spots for your visitor's stuff, but more importantly it's just so gosh darn cool.
NYTimes Real Estate Section.... I love you
Anyone else obsessed with the 'Great Homes' slideshows on the NYTimes website?
Well, if not, you should be. It will make you feel somewhat inadequate, because most of us haven't yet restored a 400 year old russian chateau, but it is great eye candy.
This little guestbed/nook and the collection of mirrors is my kind of thing.
Oh My
Introducing the WTF!?-bed. Unfortunately unable to find the original source, although i'm not sure this is the kind of thing people actually buy.
Small but Lovely
So you've moved to Manhattan and even though you are paying 85% of your salary in rent, all you can afford is a one room 'cozy' bachelorrette.
Don't despair, this idea will solve your space and storage problems..... not to mention how much fun it will be to use those teeny tiny stairs everyday!
Not Your Average Murphy
When William L. Murphy patented his stow-away bed in 1916 he was probably convinced that his design could not be improved upon. It has; introducing the Bed-Up by Paris-based Decadrages. Why take up all that wall space when the ceiling is crying out to be a more useful part of your life? Clearly perfect for small spaces, guest rooms or for those who just want to show off.
