Home Decor

I thought this was amusing, so I wanted to share. (Disclaimer: my idea of amusing may not be the same as yours!)

In today's office mail was one of those "ValPaks" blue envelope things that has coupons for savings and discounts at local businesses. I tend to quickly glance through the coupons to see if any of them are worth keeping and then discard the majority into the recycling bin.

However, today one of these coupons caught my attention, and like "Headlines" on the former Tonight Show with Jay Leno, I did a double-take at what was being advertised, and how the advertisement was worded.



So really, it's not like it's incredibly or outrageously hilarious or anything, I just laughed myself and had the following thoughts:
"Think Wallbeds Are Expensive?"
Um, no, because I don't think about wallbeds... ever.
"Discover the Seattle Wallbed Difference!"
Wouldn't I have to know what the non-Seattle Wallbed experience was like first?
Do I care?
"Affordable Pricing"
Is nearly $1800 a deal? I'm pretty sure that my bed (frame & mattresses) was $600.

And yes, I realize this is a completely random blog post. Oh well, what can you do.

Love it! I thought the same thing... what's a wall bed? And who would want to take all that stuff out of the faux shelf every night just to get your bed down? J/k... I know that it's probably glued to the shelf. Tacky!

You are so awesome Melissa. I needed that. We were at a hotel/suite in St. George last month and they had a wall bed. Stephen loved the idea. It actually makes a lot of sense. I never thought twice about it, until your post. Too funny.

Exactly my thoughts! I don't think I've EVER considered a wallbed, and I certainly don't think 1800$ is INexpensive, LOL!!

Melissa, Hey Sorry I have been sucking at blogging lately. We went to Mexico and it was a blast. You guys really need to go. It was the cheapest vacation that we have been on. Hope that everything is going good for ya. Love you guys
