apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

sad to say, the owner of that couch overpaid.

I think it would be a VERY fun challenge to create an environment in which that couch could look wonderful. I mean, it sounds like something that Martha Stewart should assign to her apprentices, or something.

It is definitely ugly, but it would be a great piece for an Allstate insurance salesperson. You're in good hands ...

haha I like it! It makes me laugh; it's so freaky. It needs something equally freaky nearby like one of those leg lamps or maybe just some deer antlers, an 18th century ancestorial portrait and an intricate patterned B&W woven rug.

Yeah, either State Farm, or a church youth group hangout area ("he's got the whole world in his hands" kind of thing), or the green room where the singers of the next "Live Aid" CD sit while waiting for their turn at the mic.

Does it have a "magic fingers" massage feature?

I just can't like furniture that looks like body parts. that lip-shaped sofa I keep seeing is another severely Not-hot item.

Anytime I see furnishings shaped like human body parts, animals, anything "living" I automatically envision sitting there and having the damn thing come alive and try to get me. This vivid imagination is probably why meditation and trying to "go to a peaceful place" never works for me. :^ (
