You have no idea what a pain it has been to find a couch. If you do not have a cat or a kid, your sofa options are endless. But if you have something furry with claws in your home and a small, fast person with sticky fingers, the smart sofa options really shrink. Add a tight living space to the mix—and the need for a sleeper—and well, you options are not pretty. Literally: Not. Pretty.

But something wonderful happened yesterday. Nate, Theo and I walked to Ikea. Yes. WALKED. (I love you Brooklyn!) And while there, we bought a sofa bed. It’s slip covered (wash it or toss it!) and it has legs so there’s air under the couch. (I was very big on that. The illusion of more space, you see.) And it's pretty!

I am deliriously happy.

Now I’m impatiently waiting delivery…
