A little updating

[gemcitytiffany]

Since it was Christmas time when I posted my loft (http://community.livejournal.com/saucydwellings/1498236.html), there were a lot of things that were bound to change. Right now we're just trying to keep it crisp and airy and make it our little summer sanctuary. Thought I'd update on

ooo love the bed! What kind/brand/etc is it?

It's the Ikea Malm Bed.

with one side table

and dresser

The bed itself is amazing... though I put the dresser together and the bottom drawer doesn't like to open, but that's Ikea for you lol.

I really love the bedframe though and to be honest, I was scared it would be cheaply made seeing as it was only $200, but I'll be honest, my husband weighs like 300lbs and I chase the animals through here like we're little kids playing and it's taken some abuse!
I always make myself take the time to tuck in the blanket... it's kind of a hassle, but it's so worth it for the impressive look!
The bed spread is from Ikea as well.

i was looking at the malm as a new bed option, do you use a boxspring? probably not eh? but do you think you could not put in slates and make it more stable[or block cat entrances :)] by putting the box spring on the floor inside the bed? or am i completely insane?

Well, I hear the cat thing haha, my cat loves it under there! There is a big metal bar that goes down the center of the bed which is not optional. This metal part holds the slats in place. I honestly don't find it unstable in the least! Which was a surprise to me! Like I said above, my hubby is BIG DUDE haha. I used to have a crappy frame that I thought was going to fall apart every time he would sleep in my bed before we lived together lol
