What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? "No bedroom" creates a big challenge so we created a folding futon frame to work as sitting surface during the day. Most furniture we made ourselves but kept thing to a minimum.

What's that thing in the bedroom with wheels on it? I'm intrigued...

It's got to be frustrating when your pencil rolls off your desk and you have to go downstairs to retrieve it, but it would probably be worth it in that space

When I was a child I wanted to be a puppeteer I'd love to see more images of your wife's work space.

I love Buffalo, it's full of so many cool surprises! From the looks of it I'm betting you are a fellow West Sider. Great space

The outside is just as cool as the inside.
