apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

*drooling* I dream of being surrounded by books in my sleep. How lovely to wake up, roll over and pick any title without leaving the comfort of bed.

ooooooh, i love!!! :-)

My Fiance could trash that in under 2 minutes. TMI?

That's pretty much my bedroom after I moved in. Except it's all half-empty cardboard boxes instead of apple crates.

guess that bed wouldn't work for people who thrash around in their sleep

I love upstate, lol.

I would be scared to move... and at the moment I sleep alone. it's like a cage almost!

And I know that I am probably one of the poorer around ... but I am not sure why the IKEA box is seen as such a cheap thing. To create anything like the above construction, you would need around 20 boxes. that's $700. not that cheap IMO at all... I would prefer to buy "real" bookshelves for that!

Who could possibly make the bed surrounded by all that stuff - much less get any sleep?

It just looks cluttered and messy.

yeah, too cluttered. my ocd would kick in to overdrive.

Not a fan of how this looks! I wouldn't be able to sleep being surrounded by all that clutter!

How many books do you really need within reach when you're in bed. Get a kindle!

Not related to the design of the bed (personally couldn't do that), but for those in DC, the Richard Avedon exhibit at the Corcoran is very good, I thought.

I don't like this at all and I can't understand anyone who does. I guess I just don't see this as substantially different than making it out of plastic milk crates. That can certainly be done, but that doesn't make it attractive. Apple crate things can have a home-y feel in small amounts, but this looks like someone ate all the apples and got too carried away with not discarding the crates once they had a few, like people who hoard POM glasses.

Also, if you're going to need that many books at arm's reach while you're still in bed, chances are you need to get out and take a walk around the block, meet your neighbors, see what the sky looks like.

Way too much clutter. Who could sleep in that? One wrong move, and the whole thing would be knocked over.

I like it. Makes the room look warm and inviting. Also love the idea of perusing my book collection from the confort of my bed.

I want something like this as a room divider! No Expedit for this girl!
