Hello Kate and Jacqueline,

I’ve been listening to your quest for the perfect standing lamp and coffee table, and it pains me to hear that week after week your home decor is still sending you into a “violent fury.” Chūko News is no Biologique Recherche, but it will hopefully alleviate the stress and blue light damage caused from endlessly scrolling through Craigslist, OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace. I wouldn’t dare to presume what either of your home aesthetics are, so instead I’ve selected a range of imagery that I envision for your future POOG HQ. Chūko News is a curated selection of affordable second-hand furniture and decor in the Bay Area and NYC. Because I’m not the actual seller, I can’t promise if the items are still available or confirm what condition they’re in. Below is a custom version of the newsletter just for the two of you (LA based finds of course!) Please enjoy.

POOG EARTHSHIP

There’s no need for SPF when your skin is fully shielded within this cavernous Earthship. While a mid-century masterpiece in Joshua Tree may not be in Poog’s current real estate portfolio, you can nab a few design tips. Decorate your living room with only a few choice items, leaving ample room for naked yoga, fascia-blasting or what have you.
