I behaved today (mostly) so we went to Ikea. Here's the sofa-bed we chose. One of the others I wanted to try was too low (headaches) and the cushions slanted so that if you sat back you were looking at the ceiling. The other we tried had the crummy sort of pullout bed (the old fashioned kind - heavy & crap mattress) and it was too shallow. I have long legs, so a shallow couch means your legs aren't supported all the way to the knee--totally uncomfortable.
This one is high, supports my whole leg, is cheaper, and the bed is much better. Only drawback, it doesn't have removable covers. Will probably Scotch Guard it. I also think we should buy something fuzzy and staple it to the ends for the cats to scratch. (The beige would have matched the curtains better, but... too stain-able!)
Got the curtains I wanted.
And cheap pillows to match.
And the other expensive piece we bought is this 6 foot long sideboard. It's for the kitchen, to replace a rickety plastic shelf I'm using to hold my appliances. I want somewhere to put all my lunch tupperwares and bentos. I think the cats will like it.
