The bones look fab, but that fabric is a little loud. Who am I kidding? It is a LOT loud. Definitely recover it - navy!

OMG! On the one hand, I love it's lines which you can't see under all that pattern. BUT, that pattern is surprisingly appealing! In the right space, I say leave as is. Certainly, one of a kind that way! I want! Do you deliver to Greensboro ;)

Love the design, but the color has got to go! Recover it, recover it, recover it!

Brandi said...

Is it weird that I like the fabric? In the right space, I think it could work.

I would cover in white leather with black piping

This is what all of today's Moroccan-ish patterns will look like in 30 years.

Omg! It's loud, for sure. But - it seems painful and cruel to destroy such a thing. I think I would leave it alone, and put it in a very toned down space so that the sofa does most of the talking for the whole room. I like it!

Armanda said...

I agree with Brandi, I kind of love this retro couch, and in the right space, it would be a (very bright) star.

I honestly don't know if you couldn't make that work in the right space. I'm crazy and it wouldn't work in my house, but...I like the white leather black piping idea, it could even be cool in a solid texture. But whatever you do...BUY IT!

This sofa has incredible lines. Looks as though it’s structurally sound as well. I would have it reupholstered in a cream or white solid fabric with dark solid piping. The piping would accentuate its incredible lines. Also two down filled pillows in a vibrant print.

I would add two sizable pillows in a solid color: orange, green, yellow, or even a daring blue. Then I'd flank the sofa with two solid chairs of a similar color to the pillows I chose. It would be bold, it would make a statement, but I think it would work with the addition of great pillows.

Make that photo my desktop wallpaper for a while and enjoy it that way!

I really like the sofa. I think as a statement piece in a large space- with some neutral accent pillows it could really work.

Marry it. Even if he doesn't love me back.

I would recover it immediately in a black & white small checked fabric!

My eyes are burning, my eyes are burning! Seriously though, now that I have my shades on, I really would change it to a solid color, something calming and soothing, and if I need LOUD I can do that with pillows. But, there are people out there who would love it, so if you find that person, there ya go!

Reminds me LOOSELY of a Marimekko print... Love the lines of it..throw some gold pillows on it..

Michelle Hinckley said...

I would leave it as-is! It could be such a statement piece in the right room. Tell me you bought it on the spot.

Rick said...

I'd slip it in a heavy clear vinyl to enjoy and preserve it's beauty. And while I sit on it sweating, I'd think of my grandmother who would have LOVED it even more.
