I am copying your list! There are so many items that are on my mental to-do list that you already listed, so thanks for the shortcut
I need to go through the thread now and see which faucets you used. I wanted to put gas struts under the bed as well, but after replacing the mattress, and adding a foam topper its just too stuffed in there against the entertainment center to lift. I'll likely put cabinet doors on the sides instead.
