Written on an Airbed

Project: Cabin Bed



I routinely get bored with my surroundings, and mix things up a bit. Last night, at around 4 in the morning I decided to move my room around. Pictures and, to some extent, details can be found by clicking the image above which will take you to the Flickr photo-set.

I've been pondering the re-arrangement of this room for some time, without a solution. Reading 'Lateral Thinking' last night, I came upon the solution. 'Lateral Thinking' recommends that sometimes you should take clearly wrong steps in logic in order to get to the solution to a problem. I took the wrong step of thinking "Okay, suppose I keep the bed in the hallway..."(not doable - shared living space) and worked from there. Once I had the room-minus-bed layout in my mind, I worked out where the bed could then fit.

Solution - on the wardrobe!

Tomorrow I shall no doubt post my experiences sleeping on it.
