The Sutton Sofette at west elm (#4) is SO uncomfortable - it feels like a elementary school bus seat.

I couldn't focus on the text because I was distracted by the amazing floral suit one of the guests is wearing! I know this isn't a fashion blog, but does anyone have a source for those pants?

How about the geometric pillow on the low gray sofa?

I use a desk organizer from Homegoods! It's pretty enough to keep on my dresser and all the cubbies hold different types of make up - one for everyday, one for lips, eyes, face...

I worked at west elm for 2 years, let me share some secrets!
None of the sectional pieces will attach to other pieces, but you can get a small bracket at any hardware store to attach them to each other, I have had customers do this to great success.
8 -10 weeks often turns into 10-12. Once the sofa is ready, it's shipped to the local courier service for your area who then calls you to set up delivery to your home.
To keep the pillows "sharp" in the stores, we fluff them and flip them CONSTANTLY. As soon as you get up, straighten and fluff the back and base cushions into the shape you want them to stay.
Sign up for emails and/or catalogs, you'll likely get a coupon in the mail or by email.
Order in store with an associate if you have other concerns; this will give you a buffer should anything go wrong - ie, the store can call customer service on your behalf.
If you can wait, in August/September west elm will have a (usually 15% off) promo on sofas and upholstery.
Happy couch hunting!

Well said, cdeaton!

I've only been in public spaces (bars, stores, restaurants) that use Edison bulbs, where there is ambient noise. If hung in a quiet space, anywhere residental, would the bulbs make a noticeable humming noise?

Related question - I have an full size antique metal bed frame and currently have a box-spring and mattress which makes the bed is SUPER high. The box-spring is sitting on a metal lip formed by the side rails with the mattress on top - there is no middle support bar or beam.
Can I get full sized slats to replace the box-spring? Can I put the mattress just on the frame? I am aware of "low profile" box-springs, but am turned off by the expense.
