Just when I was gearing up to come here and write a post about how well things are running around here, and how we're managing to just barely scrape our butter over our piece of bread but managing to do so, I have to go and kneel on the damn couch and BREAK IT.
The $50, solid colored, certified gift-from-Beyond yard sale couch that isn't very comfortable, but is certainly serviceable, and matched the very comfortable $20 loveseat very well.
The anchor piece of furniture that elevated the look of the living room just far enough above "Dumpster Diving Chic" that I felt that the room was more or less presentable enough to have people over.
The piece of furniture that somehow managed to epitomize our existence here in Columbus-- not what we ultimately want, but more than good enough for the time being.
It's done for. We're going to have to get rid of it-- the spring is about to break through, and aside from being dangerous, having a couch looking one Michigan game away from being set ablaze on Chittenden Ave is NOT something I can stomach.
What the hell am I going to sit on during the day? What the hell are we going to do with that stretch of wall? How can I face playgroups, get-togethers, WHATEVER without a living room couch?
@#$%&!@!!!!!

oh man, suckage!!! wish i could help out with this dilemma - i'll keep my ears open!
I hear 'ya. We moved the NASTY couch upstairs to the "lounge," and I can't decide what was a better look for our living room--ugly couch or no couch.
Boo! Sorry about the couch. Try an auction if you're looking for a new one. Most people who go to auctions don't want/need a new couch, they're looking for Hummels or crystal or whatever, but there's plenty of couches there. And it's kinda fun, trying to outbid that old biddy in the corner. That's where we got ours, and while it's sort of velour-ish, at least it's a solid color.
if i had an extra couch to give you i would! that totally sucks!
