I'll have my bed and sleep on it too!


Since I am moving into my wee little place, I decided to sell my bed and buy a sleeper sofa. After several weeks of looking and continuously returning to one at a cool store called Hip, I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy it on Labor Day. Unfortunately, they were closed that day so no sofa. I ended up going by the store on Thursday and discovered that they had only 1 left and it was the floor model so no go. Because the sofa is so popular (4 sold the week before) the guy tells me it is likely a 6 - 7 week wait but that he would verify and call me if they have an order already placed for some.

Well, I was helping a friend with the flowers at a wedding on Saturday when I get a call from the store. They had done an inventory check at their warehouse and found one in the color I wanted. So I drove over there with my good friend Jaime to look at it one last time before taking the plunge. It should be noted that the color is not so much beige as it appears in the photo but more of a caramel color. The back also can be in 3 different angles.

Chelsea,
Anytime you need help, I am more than willing. I love to see all the great ideas.

does it provide good support? are you living on your own?

Sara said...

It does alright. I am buying a thin mattress to put over it that should provide the additional support. I will be living on my own in a 475 sq ft studio. I move in sometime in the next couple weeks. Now that I know how to post with photos, I will need to take a few shots of the place to show it off.

What about your cool couch from the 20s? You're still keeping that, right???

Sara said...

Yeah, that is staying. The new couch, however, is not. Decided to return it and live in my temporary space with the furniture I have rather than forking over all that money. Plus, I love my bed and parting with it was just becoming too painful.
