A 1960s (??) couch

Monday is thrift store treasure day over at Southern Hospitality. Check it out if you’d like to see the awesome things other bloggers are finding. Cooleen and I are furniture shopping for our store that we plan to open in a couple months. I found this couch and loved it! It’s so super comfy and the woodwork is pretty. I didn’t like the fabric at first but it is starting to grow on me. I can picture it in a dark gray color and that would look lovely in my front living room.

I picked it up yesterday at the Salvation Army’s half off sale. It ended up being $50 and I think it was totally worth it. They said the man that dropped it off said it was 1960s. What do you think? Either way, it’s pretty spiffy to me. Love that woodwork and how I sink in to it. It’s just so comfy! We also picked up two tables and three dinning chairs. One table is really fugly and we’ll be redoing it (in a special way that I’ll post photos of later) and one table we’re not sure we’ll touch yet. The chairs are all having something done to them too. OH! and I picked up a wood tray with pop up base thingy. I thought it was pretty neat and may keep that one for the house too… at this rate I’ll never furnish the store.

And this is the other side of my living room right now. A friend gave us a couch and loveseat the other week and we took them thinking it would be forever until I found a couch for that room. HA! So we called another friend and offered him the two if he’d come pick them up. He’s picking them up tomorrow but for now the other half of the room looks like this

It’s a flipping mess and I’m working on it slowly but surely. I also need to work on some custom button orders, a blogerview, more CrafTea stuff and some dishes I can’t wait to share!
