Allie and I found (on craigslist) Room & Board's Portica Canopy bed being sold for $500 (regularly $1300). I asked my Dad if we could use his truck, instead he offered to drive (probably because he doesn't trust me to drive it) so the other night, we picked it up in Greenpoint and tied it to the roof of his truck. (Thanks, Dad!)
While I would prefer the Architecture bed, for $800 off for a very similar bed that Allie has been drooling over for the past few years, I can't complain. Well, I can. The bedroom is small and the large, canopy thing makes it that much smaller. However, the bed it replaced was a cheap, hundred dollar futon frame, so it's a step up.
Now I just need to find some better lighting in there since the canopy portion doesn't work with the cheap, ten dollar lighting that was in there previously.
