Small sleeping quarters

This area can't rightly be called a bedroom, so the Johnstons call it the "bed cabinet." It's a foot larger than a queen-size bed on every side.

"We were a little experimental," Ray says. Unless there's company, the doors are left open to the view.

The sleeping loft above the living room creates more spaciousness.
