You guys offered up tons of great advice earlier this week (you're the best, by the way) and I'm happy to report that I'm now the proud owner of a vintage army cot. It looks old and raggedy but that's just the way I like it! Well, kind of. The canvas is a tad bit too old and raggedy so it will have to be replaced, but the base is perfection.
Are you wondering how much I paid for it? I guess it's only fair to share this information since I asked you what you would spend, right? I emailed the seller and asked if $35- $40 was in the range of what he was expecting to receive. He responded that $35 was great. Done. It was mine! I was so impressed that he didn't take advantage of me for the extra 5 bucks.
In this shot you can see the stairs curving over head. It's going to be a cozy little area when all is said and done.
Here you get a better perspective of the space. The zebra bench will be exiting, as will the doggie bed that's trying to camouflage into the bottom stairs in this shot.
I got even more excited about our new cot when I saw how fun they look when covered with amazing textiles...
Then, I realized what a steal I got as I searched around Etsy and found out these babies sell for a pretty penny!
Thanks again to those of you who offered up your two cents!

Dana,
I think that cot is the perfect solution for that spot. It's chic and unexpected while creating function! Can't wait to see what you do with it! M.
ok now i think i want one- it's awesome! and i am so glad you went in the lower range. :)
LOVE it!!! Dying to see what fabric you choose, I know you didn't ask :) but I could see something bright and bold tribal, boho, kilim rug looking. Oh my gosh, what a fun diy!
Oh I'm happy for you Dana! That WAS a steal and how fun and unique to have in your home! Keep us posted with this space, it's so interesting!
