I'm beyond excited.....

 I have been looking for a funky vintage couch for a year now...
 and everyone has been telling me to look on craiglist for a while now
and so yesterday I gave it a try and this vintage vinyl couch was 
on for $40
Its just perfect....great condition
AND 
comfortable......

slowly my Mid Century room is coming together
one piece at a time.

Happy Weekend!

  4. Ok, I will use the phrase that is kept for just the very best of treasures and that couch is deserving of that specialist of phrases -

    "Now, that is the cat's pajamas!" xo

  13. Great find. Your house is cute AND beautiful. You should have been at the estate sale we went to yesterday - right up your alley. It was in the house and it was stuffed with people and I found a little wire chair - $1.00 (in the basement!). So I had to use it as a battering ram to get out of there. That was my entire purchase.

  16. Cute, Cute, Cute!
    I can't even imagine a more perfect couch for your livingroom, and I LOVE that patchwork quilt draped over the back.
    Way to go! I always appreciate how people can make previously used furniture work in there homes. To me, that takes real imagination and talent!

    Bon week-end!

  39. one pice at a time is good.
    it's when one is working with quarts and eights the trouble starts.
    still 3/4 downstairs floor down, last but two pieces of furniture returning on sunday and a probable downstairs move soon after.
    that's right.
    i've stopped guessing when exactly this is going to manifest itself... ;)))
