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.
Time stood still. My heart raced as my eyes took in its velvety yellow exterior. I glanced longingly at its tufted buttons and delicate wooden feet. And just to make sure that it was real and not a figment of my imagination, my hand lightly traced its long and curvy frame.
For $50 it was mine. My precious. My own. Oops. Silly me, I mean ours- of course.

Now don't get me wrong, this couch has suffered a lot of wear and tear over the years. I may be a dreamer, but I'm not blind. The upholstery is worn, the cushions sag, and the frame is covered in nicks and scratches. But hubby and I didn't let that deter us. We saw potential. Why, with just a little tlc, this old gal could be the comfy and beautiful furniture of our dreams.
So now let's see what a little creativity and elbow grease can do...
