We have a clue about Furniture

This month’s  Design Store(y)  is a tale of how a design-minded woman, Sakiko Ichihara, who originally moved to Toronto to attend university, translated her love of her native culture into a business. Her boutique, Cubeshops , tucked away amid restaurants in downtown Toronto, carries Japanese design objects, gifts, stationary, pens, and the like. It’s a great blend of daily use, practical products and fun, design-y stuff you just want

Today’s  Friday Five  features Matt Eastvold of  Eastvold Furniture , who started woodworking and welding at young age in his dad’s shop. He grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota, which fostered his passion for learning these trades. Eventually he headed to the city, in the thriving design community of Minneapolis, where he worked with a number of designers and architects on custom  projects. Today he lives in a small college  town in Minnesota called Northfield, where he and his wife Amanda grow their own food, kids, and a company that builds honest and sturdy furniture

Brazilian designer Roberta Rampazzo is back with a new table that plays around with perspective. The Illusion Side Table is the result of studying the feet of tables and working with the angles of the legs. By angling two of the legs, the table remains stable but it changes the look completely

For this week’s  CMYLK  we’ve created a Colourlovers  palette of classic autumnal hues, inspired by the Jewish Holidays. There’s Rosh Hashana, during which one dips apples in honey for a sweet New Year, and also Sukkot, which celebrates the harvest. So although the leaves may not be turning just yet, fall is in the air.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about bunk beds. Not for any particular reason, because I certainly don’t have the need for them at this time. But first because when down the shore this Summer, I stayed at a house that had two sets of bunks to fit more people – the kind with a single bed on top and a double bed on the bottom. Then, I started thinking about them last night because I was watching the Real World Challenge show on MTV and they were all choosing their beds – which were bunks.

Both scenarios used bunk beds to fit more people to sleep – which is the purpose of bunk beds, right? But does function have to prevail over style? Not always! I did some searching and found some bunk beds that were more stylish than some than I’ve seen – like the ones shown above.

I do like all of the options that come with bunk beds. Childrens beds don’t have to just be a plain old bed anymore – they can get bunk beds with tons of different options for the underneath – such as a futon, (again, like the bunks above) a desk or armoire. Isn’t it interesting how bunk beds are always for kids rooms or for college dorms? I would save a ton of space and in turn gain more storage if my fiance and I had a bunk bed with a dresser and/or armoire underneath!

Now that I’ve given you my feelings – tell me, what are your thoughts on bunk beds?!
