Well, we have a new feature at our house that is nice fer yer bum. It's called couches that haven't been through 20 years in a student apartment. While they aren't new couches, they are less than 5 years old. This beauty (which we've had for six years, since pre-marriage) now has to move over. In fact, it's been kicked to the curb in hopes that someone will provide it with a nice home. Barring that, it's off to DI. Now, the couch did not look so terrible in our home. With a couch cover, it looked just fine. But, have you ever dealt with couch covers? ARRRGH!! A source of 6 year frustration for me, I'll be honest. You sit on it, the seat gets all mussed and pulls away from your carefully placed tucks. Soon, the underfabric is showing (how embarrassing for the poor couch!) and it looks as though your preschooler decorated your house. I got so fed up with that this week that I turned to every Utah-Bargain-Lover's favorite site, KSL.com classifieds. It's like a clarified Craigslist. So, Monday I picked up our "new" velvet microfibre loveseat (it's a dark army brown) and today we picked up our "new" leather jacket-like couch. Man, it is 30 times more comfortable than the old one!

Yeah! You have new couches! I'm so happy for you!!!
As my Mom always says, "Anyone can pick out a furniture set. Only a real designer can mix and match furniture and make it look good." So there you go!
I tried the couch cover once...it only lasted about 2 hours before I got sick of tucking and took it back to the store.
I am glad I am not the only one who frets over those couch covers!!! I think my children will hate them forever because if someone is coming over I won't let anyone touch the couches. I had to teach Geoff how to get up without pulling the cover off the couch. He still forgets. BUT ... they sure do look better than the horrid fabric hidden underneath.
I love your pun--I am ASSuming intended--for your BUM (furniture by the curb!) Your'e so funny!
