Well, buy a new couch, you say. Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. But where can we find a couch that's (a) easy to clean, (b) comfortable, (c) cute, and (d) affordable?
This past weekend hubby and I visited our local Salvation Army and that's where I spotted the one.

For $50 it was mine. My precious. My own. Oops. Silly me, I mean ours- of course.

Why, with just a little tlc, this old gal could be the comfy and beautiful furniture of our dreams.
