couch

Dear Old Couch,

I'm sorry to say you're being replaced.  While you've been loyal and always by our [back]sides, the time has come for someone else to enjoy you - and hopefully give you a thorough, professional cleaning. 

Regards,

Jon and Craig

From Couch

This couch has seen everything.  If it could speak, it would surely say something like, "humans are utterly disgusting". 

We really do like the couch.  If the stairwell to the basement was bigger, it would be fixed up and kept.  I feel like it's an important piece of furniture as it was one of our first bigger purchases as a couple.  Anyhow, it has a few broken bones from all the moving - Cincinnati, Houston, Cleveland, Huntsville AL, and now Baltimore.  Also, as of late, if the pillows are situated just right, you might be lucky enough to get a waft of an unknown odor prompting thoughts like, "Is that..? nah, they don't even have a cat".

It'd be great with some TLC and hopefully someone will find it at the Salvation Army to give it just that.  Unless of course one of you want it for free?

Meet Petrie:


This is the couch we just ordered from Crate and Barrel.  The Petrie is typical 60's design; big; super comfortable; clean lines; totally marvelous; and I quote, "lets you slouch in comfort".  A slouch couch - PERFECT.  We selected the Charcoal color and are regularly wetting our pants with excitement.  It won't be delivered until April (grrr) but it’s nice knowing the couch is being specifically built for Project Rowhouse.  Here are a few other pictures I rounded up from the interweb.
