Years ago — I can't quite place when, perhaps when my son inherited some money from my folks? — he bequeathed our family what he dubbed "the Swag Lounge". The Swag Lounge was his — 21-year-old? — notion of what was "swag," all from Ikea:
o all white loungers in a black frame
o black table
o lamp (I think, but it went missing).
Years later, the Swag Lounge, long stashed away in the Store Room (AKA Bedroom) finally re-appeared in the Living Room/Office in my "new" COVID apartment (now 4 years old exactly) — or rather the one lounger that would fit, and the coffee table. White is hard to keep clean, especially with a cat who sleeps on it all the time.
I washed the Swag Lounge covers in the laundromat, but then it was HELLA hard to get the slipcovers slipped back on. I don't want to do that again.
Hence, finally a hard scrubbing with soap and Chlorox and a dry-out on the radiator.
As for the coffee table, it now ironically has a table cloth on it which actually makes it easier to clean — washing laminated wood tables never lasts but the tablecloth you can just periodically throw in the laundry.
AI art to the rescue again, because the Swag Lounge has seen better days.
But wouldn't you like to doze in the Swag Lounge in the desert, your thoughts clean and aligned?
