My bedroom is a mishmash of different styles and designs

My bedroom is a mishmash of different styles and designs. I have a futon as a bed, which is great because I live in New York, so space is limited.

I can put it into “couch” position if I’m having people over for movie night, and the rest of the time it makes a comfy bed.

I have two bookshelves, one that I made myself out of scraps, and one that I salvaged from the sidewalk.

I have a short white dresser, and a tall green dresser that my sister gave me. The space I have is small, so to make it look larger I put a full-length mirror on the wall horizontally.

It creates the illusion that I have another window, and people compliment me on it all the time.

Indeed, the deal was a steal because not only were prices a little lower, I got a big discount for buying the floor model.

Comparable futons at retail shops in Atlanta were $500-1000, and mine was $230. Read more »
