Hide-a-Bed

When Loraine took over our loft bedroom we were forced to move our bed downstairs, into our living room.  Instead of spending thousands on a new sleeper sofa I came up with plan to hide our bed.  I designed and made a custom fitted wool slip cover, sewed a couple cushion slip covers out of left over wool/linen material and covered our bed pillows in linen, creating a perfect solution to our "bed in the living room" problem.  I also built in some bookshelves, and made some simple linen curtains and hung them by a basic dowel supported on a couple of old iron coat hooks.  Almost everything in this space I made with recycled, repurposed, or found materials.
Custom cushion made out of wool and a thrifted repurposed jacket.
