The Actual Piece de Resistance


Over the past year, Shrek and I have invested substantial time (in the form of multiple visits to Best Buy, Macys, Ikea, Costco, and Sleep Train) and cash into transforming our bedroom into our favorite space. 

Our oasis, if you will. 

Recently, we upgraded our bed to a queen size Posturepedic Daindridge Plush mattress along with a beautiful bed frame. (Before we were on a box spring.) We also - drum roll, please - invested in an air conditioner! 

After tossing, turning, and sweltering in last summer's relentless heat, we felt this was a necessary purchase. We also figured it a terrific deal when faced with upgrading apartments altogether just for the luxury of AC. Instead, we opted to pay Costco $429 upfront whereas upgrading to a newer apartment with AC would've been an additional $429 per month



Absolutely love that this compact little portable AC by Sharp is "Library Quiet" yet keeps our room at a cool 64 (or whatever we choose to set) degrees. This is cold enough to allow me to comfortably sleep under our "coverlet" and down comforter combo. Even when it's a miserable 90+ degrees in our living room!

Unlike many other portable ACs out there, this one requires zero drainage. Hence, no monitoring or worries that it will start a flood in the middle of the night.
