Futon by Day, Bed by Night

With the baby shower coming up, and family coming to town, we needed another place for someone to sleep. We started off looking for day beds, but gag. Most of the styles are granny. I did find one that I liked at West Elm, however they sold out of it in the two days I was taking to make up my mind. (Another side effect of pregnancy.) This didn't stop DG trying to suprise me by calling all six West Elm stores in the country attempting to find a final display bed to send, but alas no.

Originally, both DG and I poo poo'd the futon, thinking of our college days. Then we found this modern day futon at our favorite Scandinavian furniture store. It was the fastest decision we ever made. After sitting on it, we said, sign us up. If you click on the picture of the futon on the Dania site, you can see all the forms it takes.

Currently it is sitting in our unfurnished upstairs living room in an effort to take out some of the echo created by any noise or talking in the room. Eventually however, it will migrate to our office where it will become a second crib for the baby while I work, and a place where the dogs will be scolded should they try to get up and lick and/or hump the baby.
