So, this is what my husband surprised me with for my birthday:
Don't be a hater. I know it's weird. I've been stalking this thing in a sketchy little antique/junk shop in Greer for five years now. It's been buried--literally--under so much junk that no one else ever noticed it. I would go in a couple of times a year and the lady would say, "You're here to see the couch, aren't you?"
This is what I love about it:
--the carved detail on the legs
--the raised pattern on the fabric
--the style. It's ornate but not fussy. Mildly over-the-top but not outrageous.
It fits the style of our new stone cottage perfectly. Nevermind the fact that we don't yet have a rug, and the walls are a decided shade of light puke, and the original frothy curtains are still on the door. I have my couch=)
I love it, Charis! and I need to come see your cute new cottage:).
ReplyDeleteSo many things to say:
ReplyDelete1. You are hilarious!
2. I've seen the couch, and these pictures don't do it justice. It's a show-stopper.
3. If I come over and help you cover up those "light puke" colored walls, will you come help me cover up 1980's bridesmaid's dress seafoam green colored walls?? :D
That sofa was made for your house....it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteGlad you finally were able to get it! That sweet lady will probably miss you coming in to the store; you probably made her day, those 2 times a year.
