Working on turning the back room from a house to a home as it were

Wild that there’s no bed in this place, so I decided to fix that for Tye and Eleanor (and hopefully Natah too one of these days…I know it’s copium but they’ll be a polycule in my heart at least)

Zariman mattresses don’t actually have collision so that’s why the bed is part bench, but it makes a nice little frame so it’s alright

No clue what to use for a blanket, the zariman rugs are super grungy and grimy
