and if my mom had seen a couch with those colors she would have bought it in a heartbeat. as it was, we had two couches--one was a bright green (the other i can't remember), and we had a bright orange chair in the living room too. and a bright yellow desk chair with a desk. also an organ! hey, it was the SEVENTIES!!!
