A theater screen pulls down at the foot of the bed for viewing television or movies. An integrated personal computer system means you can work or surf the web in bed as well. Game consoles are built in for added entertainment value. Lights for reading and shades for sleeping are also fully integrated. Seriously cool.
Sure you find something you like, then you look at the price...(42,000 euro, 56,615 US)

That is freaking amazing!
I want to build one. -
I know right!
I got the Animusic and Animusic 2 DVD's a couple years ago and unfortunately loaned them to someone who does not ever remember me doing so
Well when Animusic 3 comes out I will probably get all three.Most of the videos are on Youtube however. Check out Starship Groove and Heavy Light. Amazing stuff. Not to mention Pipe Dream.

I thought I had noted as part of the post,(but I didn't), that this is a child's playset, designed for space saving. That is what drew me to it in the first place.
Sorry about that, I'm going to claim senility.( now... what was I saying) -
Maybe not really fine design, but quirky, and looks a little better than that old chunk of wood. Foot in the Door by Liz Dubois, Anthony Petrie (sorry no URL ?)

This will of course be done over a period of time.To begin

The facade of the building is made out of timber, which was obtained from old wine tanks, from the wineries nearby. The use of this material meant that no paints or sealants was required due to the tight-grained nature of the hardwood -
