I am going with an iron bed with queen size mattress. Scored both for just 100 AUD. I find IKEA very expensive in Sydney. Not sure if it is the same in US.

Perhaps check with your local council to see if they have a plant list. Many councils here in NSW do this to assist homeowners with choosing native Australian plants and some introduced plants that grow well and are in keeping with the area. Of course it depends on the look of your house and whether your landscaping plan will compliment that, or whether you want a manicured look, or a natural look, cottage garden look (e.g flowers and hedges) or a beachy look (e.g. if you have a pool) and so on. Fruit trees sometimes need a different aspect to other trees, so separating food trees from general foliage is something to consider. Oleanders are off the list in many parts of NSW too. We recently put a fence in similar to yours but it has been painted black as our house is modern. We've been advised on lomandra, banksia and grevilias and lili pillys for a native garden as we already have lemon scented gums and ironbarks on the property. If you consider the building style of your home, and the trees common to the area you're in, sometimes that can give some inspiration

Hi Eva! We specialise in sofa beds here at Innovation Living. Our sofa beds are designed in Denmark and feature inner-spring mattresses for superior comfort and support. If you are low on space, I would recommend the Cubed, which you can get as a double or queen size. Or if you have a bit more room, one of our favourites is the Balder. Feel free to get in touch with any questions! Cheers, Alex @ Innovation Living :)

I’m set up in our sunny spare bedroom. Happy with my spot as I have views to the street and a desk to work from.
