ok, i give. there is an ugliest sofa contest on Pink and Polka Dot and i think i have been avoiding entering. you know when you are going through your clothes and there is that ONE sweater that you wore forever? it was so stylish in it's day, but now it is just faded with lit balls all over it and completely out of style? but you just can't bring yourself to get rid of it? that's how i feel about this sofa. except i never knew it when it was actually in style. but i can assure you it WAS. and i still have an attachment to it.
for those of you who don't know, my husband and i live in what was formerly his grandparent's house. they took most of the things they wanted to their new home and left us with some of the basics too. for example, this couch. it was actually a huge blessing b/c if not for this little beauty we would be sitting on the very cushiony carpet (with hardwoods underneath;) and so i'm attached. AND, this couch is still very comfy.
we just had a yard sale this past weekend and thought we might see how much we could sell the little buddy for. uhh... that didn't go over so well.
seriously $50! come on people.....
So we decided to bring it right back into our newly painted living room:) so here i am- this is my submission into the ugliest couch contest. i feel bad for saying that, like the couch can see what i am typing or something.
you've been good to us little buddy.

You definitely have a shot at winning! Don't you hate it when something is so comfortable, but ugly? I have that problem with my bedroom carpet. It is brown SHAG. But, it is in excellent condition and feels great to walk on. I hate getting rid of something just because it is old. Good luck on the contest!
He has been very good to us. What a couch!
Yay! You did it. I think you definitely have a chance of winning!
Girl! that looks like the one i saw in the thrift store! whoa...it's ugly! Thanks for sharing and for playing along!
Okay, it's ugly...but what potential! What about a coat of white paint and some corded white covers on the bottom cushions? The top cushions might look better if you got rid of them and used slipcovered down pillows instead. A little investment, I know, but I bet that couch could be fabulous! Good luck in the contest!
What I love most about it is that you refer to it as "little buddy". That's the Angela I know and love. :)
