What decorator thought THIS was a good idea?

[KitchenWitch]

I think one's living room would have to be very large to pull that off.

[fizzgig]

1. ...

:cry:

[KitchenWitch]

2. I am sorry...

:hug:

[fizzgig]

3. that wound will never fully heal

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

4. I have no problem with the color scheme, just the size of the print

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

5. I guess 5 narrow assed people could sit in it.

God, what an ugly couch. And this is coming from the queen of tacky. Usually, I love the tackiest shit out there, but that's just fugly.

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. That's a fabric for a cheap motel lounge

Bad decorating move no matter what! :puke:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. I think one's living room would have to be located in a distant galaxy.

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. Bill Cosby?

[Muttocracy]

16. I was thinking, hmmm, 80s color scheme? nt

[Seashell Eyes]

9. blehh

but at least there's no lime green, orange or brown.

[LeftyMom]

10. I thought this was going to be another thread anout the Carville/Matlin Pepto Bordello

But that might be worse. dang.

[KitchenWitch]

12. If you want to come to the OC, you can have it for free

:D

[LeftyMom]

13. I don't think there's enough firewood in it to be worth the trip.

[KitchenWitch]

14. And I was so hoping to meet you!

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

15. One of these days LK will sucker me into a trip to The Magical Kingdom Of Parental Brokeness

and we'll have to stop by and say hi before I try to find someplace to sell plasma to buy enough gas to get home. :P

[KitchenWitch]

19. Well there is a freeway ramp that always has someone "fundraising"

with a cardboard sign...I can take you there.

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

20. I used to have a neighbor who did that.

They had a nicer house than we did, and my stepdad had a good union job.

[KitchenWitch]

21. Well, one does not necessarily have to pay taxes on that sort of "fundraising".

:shrug:

[LeftyMom]

24. His wife and three kids were probably on welfare as well. And he had a prime corner-

long light right by the freeway onramp.

There's a different family there now, a scraggly couple who look like tweakers, and their skinny dog living in an RV. I won't give them cash, but I got a gift card to the pet food store and gave it to them for Christmas, the poor guy looked like he was on lean rations.

[FloridaJudy]

11. Oooo, but it matches

The shag carpet so well! Now all it needs is one of those plastic covers...

Lately the trendy color in home furnishings seems to be Eggplant. A guarantee that ten years down the road we'll be shaking our heads and exclaiming "What were they thinking?!" Nastiest color since the heyday of Avocado Green in the fifties. Tasty is not necessarily attractive in large doses.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. That is so fucking hideous...

The colors are repulsive...

And I'm not really all that enamoured of the pattern, either...

A freebie on Craigslist?

x(

[KitchenWitch]

18. Yes, a freebie on CL

:rofl:

Tell me how you REALLY feel about it.

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. How did I know you were going to say that?

I must be psychic!

:rofl: :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

23. No, you just know I am always looking for free and cheap stuff on CL

:rofl:

[uppityperson]

25. But does it fold out into a hideously uncomfortable almost-bed?

[KitchenWitch]

26. Geez, if it did, I would be honor bound to take it off their hands...

:crazy:

[orleans]

27. hey--it matches the carpet! (kind of) n/t

[CreekDog]

28. same person who thought this person should be famous

Kinna like Richard Simmons on steroids.

[KitchenWitch]

29. I guess I deserved that.

[Pharlo]

30. The problem with this couch is

that the room would need to be decorated to match the couch - wall color, carpeting, accessories. In my opinion, that is a HELL of a lot more trouble than one couch is worth.

on edit: Now, if you're a decorator, it's called 'drumming up business'.

[Dr. Strange]

31. Hilde from Trading Spaces?

I swear, she's one of the few people who could put monkey feces on a wall and try to pass it off as decorating.

[JVS]

32. I like it!
