I’m a big fan of #9, such a cool idea to put that loft/hammock design in the apartment! It’s funny, aside from the loft, the place is similarly designed to my new apartment’s living room. I actually used a furnishing service called Furnishr, they have some cool designs at http://www.furnishr.com/products.
