little home updates, new living room sofa, life recently in san francisco ｜ Homebody Diaries

This is the Hay Mags two and a half seat sofa. From afar it might look a little similar to the sofa that I just replaced with it, but let me show you guys some of the cool details that really made me choose this sofa. Really quickly going over the similarities between this and my last sofa. This one is about the same size so as you can see it fits in pretty much the same footprint which my last sofa fit in which is around 90 inches in width. One big difference with this sofa compared to my last sofa I'm not sure if you can tell is that the actual seat depth is a lot wider so I believe on this sofa over here it was around I want to say 25 or 24 inches in seat depth. This one here I believe is actually closer to 30 inches. In seat depth if you guys didn't know what I'm talking about is the distance from the front right here all the way to the back rest over here. Shallower seat depths are usually better if you want to be sitting upright all the time and deeper seat depths like this are usually pretty good for sofas where you want to be laying down or maybe in my case cuddling with my girlfriend and my cat. The second thing which you might have noticed is the pretty unique fabric that I chose. This one number one is extremely durable so unlike my last sofa I'm hoping this holds up a lot better to my cat's scratching and then number two you can see that there's a lot of sort of unevenness both in terms of the color itself having this beige foundation with all these colorful little bits on top but also in terms of the actual texture of the couch so you can see it's not actually totally smooth. Brings a lot of cool dimension to it but more importantly also means that even if my cat does scratch this it shouldn't get too too much different from what it looks like right now. As you guys have probably seen over the course of the last year I've been working a lot on adding just more color in general to my apartment so we've got that corner over there where I added a bunch of color this is a very colorful corner with the yellow door and the red lamp and the blue pottery and then obviously this shelf which I more recently installed has a lot of colorful stuff on it. I think this color really really ties the room together. So we are about to take Mal to her first vet appointment since moving here. As you can see she is already aggressively biting my toes. In general Mal's a pretty well-behaved cat and I think she's really great with all my friends and all my furniture and stuff but if this is anything like the last two times we have taken her to the vet this is definitely going to be a bit of a struggle.
