Congrats on you classy futon - which I couldn't even tell was a futon!<br /><br />Design-wise it's kind of hard because I don't know what your aesthetic is but this is what I learned redoing my apt:<br /> <br />- I considered paint color very important; <br /><br />- I stalked the local furniture resale folks that specialized in mid-century modern and asked them if they had what I needed in inventory or had them write it down, with my price range, and call me if they found it (never happened but I tried!); <br /><br />- Know what I'm willing to clean (I hate knick-knacks and love open surfaces because it's easier to clean up after the cats/hair although my heart belongs to kitsch and knick-knacks...I just have no patience for them on a maintenance basis!)<br /><br />- I had a learning curve as to when it was easier to buy something new/DIY and to have it repaired/professionally done/custom made (couch slipcovers, welded/powder coated chairs, high-density chair pad foam, seamstress pricing, neat painting costing money vs. ME painting which was free but sloppy and lame, etc.)<br /><br />- you will always need more storage than you think!jesse.anne.ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875750144950761412noreply@blogger.com
