Here it is in all it's orange glory:
See in the middle how the back cushion is all ripped? There have been three spring repairs and it smelled kind of funky. So we were on the lookout for a new sectional. We knew we'd find one when it was meant to happen. You can't force these things :)
THAT my dear readers, is how I came to possess my awesome royal blue couch with filigree designs!!!! LOVE.
So this sucker even has a lazy susan in the center. Mirrors on the arms, mirror inside the lazy susan, this thing is asking to be in a drug den. But it is in my basement den instead. Hope it doesn't mind cats.

It is not as comfy as the orange couch but i am not too worried cause we don't spend all that much time downstyairs anyways. we watch the news at night an that's about it.
Funny thing is, Once I bought this couch, my friend Andrea sent me a link to the London Kijiji cause someone was selling this:

| not a big fan of the reversable look |
And THEN i found another one on Ottawa kijiji that I thought I saved the picture of but I did not! Anyways it was really awesome and a brownish tweed though the arms were flat to the couch and also tweedy. In any case.. three awesome sectionals in one month!
The ad for the blue one above shows that the cushions were reversible and said it was a model from 1962 or 3 (I think......could have been '69 too!) Both of the ones i saw later were $500. Mine? $120. WHO SCORED A GREAT DEAL??
I did :)

Which brings me to our new friend LaDynasty!! She was a $20 Kijiji find. A beautiful boudoir velvet painting! Her name is at once Trashy and Dirty; La Dynasty spelled out is also lady nasty :)
I think she is Lady Gorgeous!

Oh my dear lord! You are killing me with the fabulousness of that sofa! Wowwww! That thing is obscenely good. And speaking of obscene - LaDynasty. She's a nasty girl. They go so well together too.
ReplyDeletesometimes two totally different pieces of furniture can come together as one. LaDynasty and the couch are just such a pair. In fact they are inspiring the rest of the basement when we redo it (hubs doesnt know this yet so shhhh!!)
