Fate.

For my birthday this year Nate took me out on the town to go thrifting and get lunch in Sioux Falls.  It was my goal to find a couch, and I had a feeling we'd find one.  Weirdly enough, we went to my favorite thrift store (which ended up being closed) and around the corner we found this couch, free, sitting on the curb.

Can you believe it?  MidCentury, dowel legs, almost no wear whatsoever.  I almost died of happiness.  I knew as soon as I saw it that it was coming home with us.  
Seeing as we drive a Corolla, Nate became very concerned/skeptical as to how we would get this couch 50 miles to our house.  
I on the other hand, was determined.  See?

Hillbilly style!!
I have hauled two desks, many chairs/coffee tables, 9 ft lumber, drainage pipes, a rocker, two credenzas, and so much more in this car.  I love it.

    and that's a perfect neutral that if you wanted you could jazz up with some slipcovers!

    Wow! Maybe if the prior owner had known how great the sofa would look with a cat on it, s/he wouldn't have thrown it out. What great luck on your birthday!

    I hope Rascal's not too rascally when it comes to clawing the sofa!
