It also has a step-through for easy access to the seat.

Hair Gel search:
Mostly look at the ingredients. This working hair paste is no longer made. I have tried numerous other brands- some are too sticky too fast , some are just not a paste type that allows you to add body and style hair when dry- they just add weight. I used to buy this from Sally’s Beauty Supply. No longer available. It sold for $6.95. I want to find a good new type that works for shorter hair- doesn’t make it spikey but let’s you style your hair but is flexible

I'll quickly walk through some tips for picking a rug to match with your brown couch (both fabric and leather). We'll start with two simple to follow rules before we get into specific recommendations.
Rule 1: Stick with battle tested color pairings
Generally, the color matching you follow when selecting clothes also applies to your rug and couch combinations. As with all rules, they can be broken, but if you're going for easy pairings, something like black/brown is best left to the professional interior designer. It takes quite a lot of coordination to get correct.
Rule 2: The pro ..read more

To quickly get the reader up to speed - the first few weeks are a whirlwind. It's filled with tons of 1-1's, interesting curriculum and community sessions, and build weekend. For the most part, everyone is doing similar things and then it becomes a bit more "choose your own adventure". That's not to say there aren't still amazi ..read more

(I've been advised to put an intro here. It will show up by tomorrow)
"Should we do On Deck?"
We learned about On Deck back in May of 2020. Alex and I were interviewing with accelerators to help take Deft to the next level and break free from our 9-5's. It was a hectic couple of weeks. COVID is in full swing, Alex jus ..read more

This is a guide to exactly how many throw pillows you should use depending on a particular couch size. Obviously, there are always exceptions to the rule, but if you're not a professional interior designer, it's best to stick with the tried and true approaches. Before we get started, know that as a general rule of thumb to use an odd number of throw pillows for the most natural look.
Let's jump straight into it!
Throw pillows for a Lounge Chair
I know I know, it's not exactly a couch, but let's cover it anyways. For a lounge chair you likely want to stick with 0 to 1 throw p ..read more
