The Famous Couch


This couch is 24 years old now. It used to be in my parents' living room, a room in which you were NEVER ALLOWED TO ENTER except on Christmas or special family gatherings. It has been used a bit more frequently in our house. I finally had to remove two covers because it was fraying in such a way that people were getting tangled in the frayed edging or tucking things inside the gashes. The meticulously pressed armrest covers are long gone. We're not *trying* to trash the couch, but I think the fabric is more of a showpiece design than a child-friendly one.

  1. I think you should cover the one remaining cushion in white so its looks uniform, JMO This BJU Press reminded me of college (I went to BJU)

  5. I am floored you grew up in a house that had a living room you weren't allowed to go in. Truly.

    Just the thought of that makes me sad.
