San Franciscan Wins Ugly Couch Contest

A couple of weeks ago AT:LA blogged Sure Fit's Ugly Couch Contest. Well, the votes are in, and Julie Lee of San Francisco is the winner! Can you guess which of these 20 semi-finalists has been crowned ugliest of the ugly?

Here it is! Yikes.

Julie's submitted the hideous 30-year old couch to the contest four years in a row. She says, Here was my chance to finally make my living space more presentable and tasteful. It's time for the couch to go. It's functional, but it really is just so ugly. It’s ‘loud’ and screams of the 70s. It’s orange, yellow, brown and…greenish? It has a floral pattern all over. And the fabric is some kind of chenille or velour or something strangely fuzzy.

Julie won a $5,000 home makeover with Kim Myles, designer/host of HGTV's Myles of Style, and Sure Fit. We're looking forward to seeing the results.

Congratulations, Julie!

I think this contest goes to her because she was steadfast for four years! I see a whole lotta couches on that list that are uglier!

uhm. so my grandparents have that SAME couch in front of the SAME hearth and SAME built in shelves. Is there something you're not telling us? :) Seriously, I'm a little weirded out here.

spiralcma, that couch is not so ugly! i kind of like it...

OK, i was wrong, my grandparents has a bit of woodworking to it, but I was still a tad weirded out seeing that photo. Here's my grandparents' couch: http://flickr.com/photos/starjewel/3046968190/

think the plaid one with plastic over it (first photo) is worse.
