    You're amazing and look like a beautiful couple. Congrats!! My son lives in NYC in a studio and I showed him your unit from IKEA and he loved it. We might use it if he stays in his current unit to give him some more storage space. His lease is up the end of June so it will be something we have to decide on shortly! Thanks for the idea!!
