The Sofa Struggle
Lately Megan & I have been discussing redecorating our small apartment, but we get discouraged easily. Mostly because we don’t want to spend money and we can’t decide on the same furniture. Most recently we have been trying to figure out which sofa we want. Either a more expensive one that will last longer, or a cheaper one that will give instant gratification but won’t stand the test of time. The struggle is real. Tell us which one you like….

I would love to wear a three piece suit but no one has time for that when you have to move a couch. Glasses – Tom Ford Blazer – Club Monaco Oxford Shirt – J.
