Ok, so maybe I am mildly obsessed with my favorite Judy Garland, and her songs are one of the first things that come to mind in any given situation. But I am really excited about this new object of my affection - a couch. :)
The Story: Lately I've had a craving to get myself a couch. It seems that they have been popping up everywhere. Emily probably first brought them to my attention when she found "The Couch of Dreams" . Needless to say, I was jealous. :)
I've been lingering unusually long as I pass by the furniture department at any store. I've had this "couch-less void" that simply HAD to be filled. After listening to one of my students tell me about the great deal she got on a new WHITE sofa, I was in agony (Ok, well maybe not, but the climax was building :).
So...I was driving home from work at 9:30 when, a mere 4 houses down from our home, I caught the glimpse of a couch with a FREE sign on it. I pulled into our drive, ran up the stairs and BEGGED my mom to come and look with me. She graciously agreed, we went down, saw that it was in excellent shape and stuffed it into our van. So now I am in possession of my very own couch. :)
Never mind that I have no place to put it and that it is covered with hideously ugly fabric. It will go into storage until the "someday" that I have room. I SO wish I could do it over right now. I am so attached to it that it hurts me greatly to hear the fabric criticized. I see the POTENTIAL. Wouldn't it be absolutely adorable with clean white paint and cushions done anew in my favorite shade of coral? Or blue. Or green. (Dad suggested painting the wood a sage color - mmmm... :)
Anyway...I just had to share! It has re-inspired me to do over the living room - can't wait to show you all before and after pictures! :)
