Since we bought our place furnished -and brought quite a lot of additional furniture along anyway - I must use my blog to ooh and ahh over these pieces since it will be a few decades before we actually buy any.

This Mado bed by Koji Collection is a modern take on the old European-style enclosed beds:

It’s beautiful. I wonder if it comes in toddler size? If so, two please!

And this piece – also by Koji Collection - is supposed to be a pet bed, but wouldn’t it make a most excellent fort for the boys?

I see Jonah spending a few hours each day shimmying in and out of the holes.

And I’ve always loved the idea of bookshelves lining a staircase, but Apartment Therapy put a new twist on the idea of storing books in unused space:

Alas, we do not have a staircase.

Alas, we do not have rafters.

But we do have a heck of a lot of books.
