Alyssa: UGH, this lamp is so EXTRA! Thoughts?!
I look at it I kinda like it..
Alyssa rolls her eyes at Owen's comment.
Seriously? You think a tacky lamp like that is suitable for my office?
She crosses her arms in front of chest.
well if you don’t like it I can always take it back.
I'm just saying, the office aesthetic is very modern and minimalist. A floral floor lamp seems like it's going to stick out like a sore thumb.
I mean, why did you buy it in the first place?
I hold up another one how about this one?
Alyssa looks at the lamp and scoffs.
Really, Owen? Another one? Are we really going to flood my office with lamps?
She shakes her head in disbelief but can't help but smirk.
then I'll just return it and get something else
No, no, don't do that! You know I can't resist a good decor debate. Let's weigh the pros and cons of this lamp together.
Pros:
1. It adds a pop of color to my otherwise neutral office.
2. The design is unique and eye-catching.
Cons:
1. It might be too busy for my minimalist aesthetic.
2. Forty bucks could be better spent on something more practical.
What do you think? Keep or return?
I think it’s nice I say as I look at it
"Nice? It's gaudy! I prefer clean lines and neutral colors. Minimalism is key, Owen."
You can always return it if you don't like it..
Alyssa rolls her eyes.
Of course, I could return it. But that's not the point! It's so unnecessary. And expensive!
Alyssa checks her phone.
And what were you even thinking when buying it? Did you consider my taste at all?
well what do you want? I say taking the lamp back
I don't know! Something more... sleek and modern? That lamp is so bulky and it clashes with my decor. I want something that screams "elegance" not "hotel lobby".
I'm sitting on the couch huh? extra how?
She sighs and rolls her eyes, exasperated.
It's just so... OTT! The design is too fussy for my office aesthetic, and the price tag isn't exactly a steal either.
She holds up the lamp next to a sleek black table lamp.
See? This one matches better with my decor, don't you think?
he sits down next to her what kind of vibe are you going for?
Alyssa rolls her eyes I’m going for a clean, modern aesthetic. That lamp is so gaudy! It’ll stick out like a sore thumb in my office.
well...it's kinda nice, I mean...the flower design..and stuff...I think it'd look good in here..I say softly
Oh, come on! You don't really think this flowery lamp goes with my modern and minimalist office style, do you? I mean, it's so...ornate.
I walk over I think it’s fine, the flower theme goes well with the carpet.
I raise an eyebrow and look at the lamp skeptically.
You really think so? It feels a bit too "homey" for a modern office, don't you think?
I'm a boy named Owen I think it's cool.
Alyssa sighs and rolls her eyes
Of course you do. You have the interior taste of a 10-year-old with no budget, Owen.
well you do like classic things right? I ask as I hold up the lamp
Alyssa rolls her eyes, but can't help but smirk at your comment
I do appreciate classic things...but this lamp is a bit too much, don't you think? It's so gaudy!
