2. DIY 2-In-1 Coffee Table Bed

Everyone who lives in a small apartment with limited space knows this problem: what do you do with overnight guests if you don't have an extra bed, spare futon, or your couch is too small or uncomfortable to sleep on?

Turn your awkward corner space into a functional cabinet in just a few easy steps! Get the instructions for the Slide-Out Pantry.
