Thank you Goodwill!

I was at Goodwill today looking for snow pants for the kids (no luck) when I saw this crazy couch! At first I was amused by the round shape, but as a few seconds wore on I started to love it! We've been on the lookout for a couch or loveseat for months to put in our loft that would allow a lot of room to sit and also leave the rest of the space open for the kids to play and run around. I immediately called Dave at work and luckily he was close to leaving. He was not impressed by my phone picture and came very tentatively to Goodwill.

He was actually surprised that he liked it! We weren't sure if it was too wide for the room and so he said that we should measure the room at home first. I was worried that the couch would be gone by the time that we'd go home and back and I was right! I was confronted by 2 other people for the couch ticket while I was waiting for Dave to call from home with the measurements! They both really wanted it! I was like, oh, sorry :). This is just one of those crazy shaped, solidly built, deep, comfy couches that you just can't pass up. Plus I can paint over the wood and will be cleaning the upholstery tonight (it is already very very clean). You can't tell by the pictures, because of the lighting, but it's a nice cream color.


I just love it! It is perfect and huge! My whole family was sitting on it tonight very comfortably and had plenty of room. It is 8 ft long.... and it cost only $49!
