I recognize that this is super old, but 1) I'm in love with CHESTERFIELDS (sorry, I keep getting auto corrected and its absurd how many times I've tyled that word) and I'm helping my mom shop for two; 2) I feel the same way you do about couches – I have 9 superfluous chairs and a sofa in my spare room right now and I'd totally be woman-the-well with couches if I could singlehandedly lift and fit them into my car (hence the smaller chair variety); 3) I'm a preacher's wife and both Preach and I got a kick out of your illustration. When we sing hymns and replace the words with my dog's name and virtues, we often remark on the possible heretical nature of our actions.

🙂 Brynne you are too funny, this post cracked me up! I too have a soft spot for tufted couches and chairs!

In reply to LilClementine. Ditto to LilClementine. And I knew what you were talking about, Brynne. I am a recovered dining set floozy. Stumbled over here from YHL forums and am staying - love ya!

Hilarious post... and gorgeous sofa! I also have a problem with Craigslist and may be possibly on my way to becoming a couch floozy myself! :)

Last summer I pounced on an antique Victorian sofa which I *had* to have... drove for 2 hours to get it... put my back out lifting it out of the van... this is all the night before we left on vacation for a week, during which time I had to locate a chiropractor to fix my back and generally couldn't function. My husband was none too impressed. The sofa was all worth it however. I gave it a makeover and in the end, it was heartbreakingly beautiful and miserably uncomfortable, and I realized it was a very impractical thing for a young family to own, so I sold it. It was very creatively satisfying, however. :)

Best of luck with it all...

In reply to Sarah. Wow! I totally understand how that goes - adore, obtain, pour hours of work into fixing up, slowly realize, deny, and then finally come to accept that it just isn't the right fit! It makes for a great story afterwards, though :)

OMG OMG OMgosh… I have a CL story to rival yours… but guess what.. the seller made me wait MONTHS to make up her mind!! You can read it on my blog if you put in "Armoire" in the search bar.. I didn't know if it was okay to put the link here… Great post!
