The photo is by David Knight(remember I featured him in the guest quarters a month or so ago?), I'm not sure who the girl is but I just adore this image. Lara, you are welcome, good luck with that bachelor pad! I'd love to know how you go along the way. Joslyn, thank you, I'm really glad you like it. Gaelle, thank you! I have emailed you the details about weight specifics etc and extra ideas for making it into a double bed, hope this helps if you decide to make one. xx Nyla, thanks so much!

Congratulations for your amazing make over! I wish I could have as many good ideas as you have! I have a question for the bed: i'm a student moving in September and I'm looking for a cheap but good-looking bed. So I thought your palets idea was ideal! How did you assemble the palets? With srcrew? Did you use many? Also, do you think this would work for a double bed? And last question: How much weight can it carry? I'm about 200 lbs and so I'm afraid I'll do all the work only for it to break with my weight. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your newly decorated flat! Bye! Hello Pia!

It's very inspirational. I'm about to move into a new place (a miniscule rental in NYC, sadly) so I might play around with a couple of your ideas. (And I do the dry-erase thing too. It's a great way to switch around the decor. I also have many colours, so I can do drawings and fake stained-glass if I'm feeling particularly artistic.)
