Add a nice yellow throw. Or maybe purple since it's opposite yellow on the color wheel (I learned about this on HGTV) and viola. Your couch is new again. <br />Anyway, this is what I would do had I not just spent the last three months of my life reupholstering crazy cat chairs that I found at a garage sale for $3 each. <br />As a Unitarian, I am required to believe that each person is of worth and I suppose that this principle could be extended toward furniture.Bjorge Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223684967205020014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153439800823000090.post-37268228766625996732010-08-17T15:24:35.837-06:002010-08-17T15:24:35.837-06:00AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Naturally I screamed to see...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! <br />Naturally I screamed to see that couch cut up. But that was only the recliner part, wasn't it? Couldn't you use the rest of it in some other room at your new house? It was VERY comfortable. And some poor people who couldn't even afford a couch at all would love to have come and picked up the useful pieces. Wouldn't they?<br />Boo Hoo!Financial Aid for Collegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421939255186853149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153439800823000090.post-58510819913375829302010-08-17T10:11:19.342-06:002010-08-17T10:11:19.342-06:00That does seem harsh…

That seems harsh. <br />I used to live in this great old orange house on 11th East between first and second south near the U. <br />I found a couch at DI and reupholstered it in denim and I have to say that it looked pretty sweet. I had a similarly difficult time getting that couch in the house. There were actually two staircases to my basement apartment- one in front and one in back. (I could have used the one in back to break honor code at LDSBC but I didn't. Use the stairs, I mean. I broke honor code by having my DH who was BF at the time use the regular stairs to enter my living quarters. The room was all he entered. Still, technically, it was in violation of honor code. The apearance of evil and such. I could have used the back stairs to get around my uptight roommate, but the back porch was covered and I do mean COVERED with box elder bugs at all times. But I digress...)<br />I loved that quirky house. LOVED it. I loved the low ceilings and the slanted walls and I even loved the orange brick. (I think it was the 70s during a time where it was common for a person to think: I have a great idea. Why don't I paint this natural brick?)<br />My walls were rock and barn wood. It was very quriky. No hanging pictures, but I loved the place. (Lots of spiders, btw)<br />I loved the two block walk to 7-11 to get a coke slurpee and I loved the neighborhood.<br />I <3 old houses. Not so much the upkeep. But they have a lot of charm.Bjorge Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223684967205020014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153439800823000090.post-20628777033362759462010-08-16T21:42:06.119-06:002010-08-16T21:42:06.119-06:00Who would not want that? !
