I found this sofa at the local Salvation Army store. I don't know what it was about it; the way it was still springy (good construction), the color (where can you find avocado brocade these days?) or the classic lines (just the right size for my diminutive living room.) At $99, it compared very, very favorably with other pieces I had been scoping out online. And the best part: how can the pets possibly mess up avocado brocade?
With a few pillows made from scrap fabric and a few bed pillows re-covered and re-purposed,I think I've brought the seventies vibe up-to-date. All for a price tag totaling $150.00. Not bad for a living room re-do.
Of course, it all had to pass the Lucy test... and judging by the amount of time she spends on said sofa, I'd say it has.
