Dude this is epic and just in time for my most hated relative to visit for the holidays so she has a private room and a bed to sleep on (it folds flat into a sofa bed). If there’s one thing you should know about me by now it’s that I’m an irrational cheapskate when it comes to material goods and if I don’t feel like I’m getting an enormous deal I ’m just not interested.
I was already eyeing this Novogratz Brittany futon in persimmon but I found it on Facebook Marketplace in near-perfect condition for $100 which is about 1/3 of its regular price!! very satisfying buy and it’s so small and portable (you can remove the arms and legs and fold the seat and back in half) that it fit perfectly inside of my Subaru Crosstrek 🥹
I like it a lot and would recommend it at full price if you‘re in the market for something cute and cheap for an office or guest bedroom but the only caveat is that you cannot lean back on the arms which is kind of a bummer… so that’s my review.

i bought a daybed for my office, replacing the sofa that used to be there, so we had a place for guests to stay. It's turned out to be a suuuuper cozy place to sit (more than the previous couch), and a sick place for mid-day naps. Im now very pro daybed.
i went for the "thuma"

I found her for $15 at Goodwill and I was taken by the simplicity and sweetness of her shape and loved the little storage compartment on the left. It took me a while to realize that you can push in the circle on the topmost center panel to lift them up and expose a hidden shelf underneath!
I have a dedicated office space but I use it for yoga and Pilates too so I love that I can avoid being psychologically and energetically terrorized by my work laptops and equipment—this would be a great feature for someone who lives in a one-bedroom or studio and you could use it as a multipurpose working surface!
I’ve been delusionally telling myself that I want to refinish it and line the shelf and compartment with ornate floral contact paper… we shall see about that but I’m happy with it even in its current state. Still seeking the perfect chair at the perfect seat height that sings to me

my friends pitched in to buy me a proper couch that’s actually comfy and long enough for napping (previously all i had was this stiff ugly loveseat). cannot state how much it has improved my life and it’s comforting to know that i’ll have it for years and years!

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
