Favorite Thing: Daybed

I wanted a daybed very much when I was younger, and though I remember shopping for daybeds, somehow I never got one. Years later, I needed somewhere for guests to sleep and my office was big enough to accommodate a daybed, so I finally bought one. There’s nothing inherently special about it. It is simply a bed (well, two beds, thanks to the trundle conveniently stored beneath). It’s great for guests, as planned, but it also provides a quiet place to sleep when one of us doesn’t want to be woken by the children in the morning. It’s a comfortable place to rest and read or blog. It meets my current needs and satisfies an old dream. That is enough to make it my favorite thing today, as I rest on it and type this post.
