wonders of vacuum packing....

so, I looked a few places in town, but couldn't find a daybed I really liked and decided to take a chance with ordering one online.


Here's one of the matresses... out of the box....

and behind it... the other matress, still in the box...



needless to say we were rather impressed with the packing job. not sure what we'd have done if it needed to go back.



anyhoo, the frame showed up a few days later and we slept on the thing one night since we'd cleared the bedroom out to have the floors done. it was pretty comfortable.

it's so simple looking, but everywhere I looked locally either didn't even bother with daybeds or had really huge, ornate things, which just really isn't "me".
