The solid pine bed we have right now was custom made for my parents in the 1970's. It was given to me in the early 1990's and has accompanied me on every move I've made since then (five so far). The possibility to screw and unscrew all the screws in it has diminished for every move, however, and the last time we moved, we realized that it has become time to look for a new bed.

This morning T. and I began to discuss for real what kind of bed we would want. Both of us like simple designs but we also want it to be practical and not too expensive. We would want to be able to have storage facilities underneath the bed. Additionally, the bedroom we have right now is not a big one, which means that we'd probably have to settle for a 160 cm wide bed at the moment and have the possibility to upgrade at some other point in time when we live in a place where we intend to stay.

Most of the things in the image above has been found at IKEA, except for the left box underneath the bed, which was found at Jula, and the wonderful ivory Buddha from Aspen Country.
