Transformer Furniture in the New York Times
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 04.26.07
We love transformer furniture that serves multiple functions; it lets you live in a smaller space and still have room for guests. The New York Times has a slide show with a wide range of attractive units,(some seen previously on TreeHugger) from this simple Danish ottoman for $ 298 through to a $ 6,290 lovely number from Ligne Roset. Watch the slide show at ::New York Times
For Mobile Architecture fans, Design within Reach hired Chris Deam to design a modernist retro Airstream complete with George Nelson ball clocks and Paul Smith upholstery, for “rock climbers, surfers, dot-com guys.” It packs a lot of living into a 16' trailer for $ 49,000. ::New York Times

Cool furniture and the space saving aspect really appeals to me because I live in a small apartment in DC. Lately I have been using BHG.com for all my interior decorating needs. This site has a huge picture gallery of all different bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, etc that I use to for ideas/inspiration for my own pad. Here is the link….it will definitely help out!

Ah ha! That's what I will make out of that extra foam, and fabric! It looks pretty easy to whip up, too. Way cool inspirational pic.
