here's how it went down; i got tired of looking at sofas that i loved, that didn't fit my space and committed to one that was right for where i am now. yes, i gave up the fantasy for something that works. and yes, i understand how i should translate this line of thinking to my personal life.
once i bought my sofa, my obsessive, fantasy-hungry mind had to latch onto something else, and the daybed for my office was the obvious next step.

a daybed is a strange thing. the more classic and midcentury designs, are elegant and maximize space, but are often uncomfortable, and don't offer a good sleeping set up for a two people or anyone over 5' 9". do i plan to host a 6' plus person on my daybed regularly? does this person even exist? well, no. but i'm convinced i should consider all aspects of comfort and form before i drop a few thousand dollars on a bench.
the next option is the sleeper sofa. i find most of the contemporary styles well--ugly. there are a few exceptions that jump out, like the sleepers at dwr , the ufurl by lissoni and sleepers at blu dot (all pictured below).
i haven't found the right match yet, but don't worry, it'll take me a little time to get tired of looking.
oh yum. now i'm thinking the lissoni or blu dot one for me...
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post! I completey agree with this generation's lack of social skills. I am in year 11 but I manage to get red when a 'cute' boy talks to me! It is frustrating when I am always loud and confident but my face decides to make my life worse by turning red. Without facebook and twitter I think that it would be easier talking to someone whom you only talk too on the internet. packing materials
