Someone, please, save that wonderful couch from the elements...and that purple velvet!
If I didn't like 700 miles away I would OWN that sofa! Gorgeous.

I have a new favorite sofa...
*want* the sofa
That sofa is amazing. Never seen anything like it before. The purple could not be more perfect.
why would you put a couch outside in winter? if they're selling it for that much, why would they take the time to drag it outside for a photo.
that's just ignorant.
wow no Chicago listings today? sad.
The person selling the sofa is a frequent reseller -- they buy at estate sales, haul the stuff home, snap pictures outside, and then store it until they sell it. I live in Minneapolis, but alas have no need of another sofa. It's hard not to buy it anyway.
Thanks for all the love on the sofa! It's actually a greyish, brownish, purple nubby cotton that we found in the Ikea scratch + dent department. I wish we could upload a pic of what this guy looked like when we found him on the street. Gardening hose for webbing + green AstroTurf for part of the upholstery. Needless to say, we are very proud to have brought this "piece of trash" back to its original luster!
