I've been on the hunt for a couch for over four years now. Knew I wanted something unique, not into the cookie cutter matching sets you find in the department stores.
My first choice would be something from The Pottery Barn...
a fat over-stuffed sectional; but really, seriously, just can't afford their prices.

Yesterday I was looking at classifieds and came across this couch that had a gorgeous shape, but very ugly fabric....see what I mean?
I saw way past it's looks...a diamond in the rough just waiting to be polished into a gem.
We got it for $100.00!!!
Hubby and I set it up in our living room last night and I draped neutral colored quilts over it to make it more presentable until we can take it to be reupholstered.
Sometimes when you see a Vintage piece you have to look past it's PAST....and see it transformed into what you want it to be in the present. I could have passed up a great couch at a great deal just because of a first impression. Imagine it in a month or two when its been reupholstered......a Groovy Vintage Find.
