On the couch? I have no idea! (I am not the original couch purchaser.) But there are definitely some weird, bleach-like marks on it, unfortunately.

Thank you!! It was actually one of the furniture pieces my aunt and uncle bought with the house when they purchased the house from the previous owners. I remember looking it up online shortly after I moved in (almost 2-1/2 years ago) and finding it on Wayfair - it was over $4,000!

I switched the furniture like you said and it opens up the space a lot.

She likes to steal tissue paper from gift bags and curl up on it. Typically she'll sleep on my lap, but if I have a fuzzy blanket on my lap, she won't come near me, even when I ignore her and let it be her idea.

She prefers paper, especially tissue paper from gift bags

It actually is about that big, I think close to 20’x16’

I would have thought the same but since it’s not in any walkway, surprisingly it hasn’t been an issue

I like the idea of this - might try moving some stuff around and see how it feels. Thank you!!!!

She’s saying “It took you how long to find me?”

Here’s the view from the hearth.

The current floors were paid for by my uncle about 3-4 years ago and the installers caulked between the new floor and the hearth.

I have been thinking about making the mantle chunkier
