we replaced our second hand walmart futon with a futon we got from my parents when my brother moved out (i think we’re it’s third owner now? they found it at an estate sale). its this slatted design made up of solid wooden boards, and the back of it lays back at a few different angles like a beach chair with a couple of notches it slots into.

my new favorite nap setup is to set it to the lowest slot so it’s leaned back, pop my feet up on the ottoman, turn on our fake fireplace heater, and curl up with this massive purple quilt i got at my local anarchist free store a few years back. poor man’s heaven.

#the more i sit here the more i realize how little we’ve spent on this room lol #string lights? free - dumpster diving #rug? ottoman? we got them + a big green arm chair & $100 for cleaning a neighbor’s place when they moved #we also got the storage shelf that’s in here from that trade #wooden green chair? free curbside find #futon? free - parents cleaning out my brother’s room #side table? free - it was in my mom’s room for decades til late replaced it and we took it #floor lamp? free - curb find #fireplace heater? free - old one from my parent’s house #tv? free - my fiancé’s mom gave us their brother’s old one when she bought him a new one #bookshelf? $20 from walmart #makeshift coffee table? $15 from walmart #queen sized dino blanket? $10 from the bargain store #quilt? free - local anarchist collective’s free store #so in total that’s $35?#if we made $100 out of a trade for half this shit then we technically still came out of it with…#$65. yeah that’s how math works.#it took us years - but that’s how it goes when you’re barely keeping food on the table as it is #i’m proud of it for sure
