D is for Dale Peel Furniture.

This is in the works... a close and lockable TV cabinet for our main room. Dale Peel is designing and building it. He also built our banisters. Here is his site: http://www.peelfurniture.com/our_history.html

S is for Spectacular Sofa.

Ohhh, what a sad sofa. Stuffing hanging out. Cotton was stained, ripped and worn out. Cushions skushed to flat. Sniffle. It actually looked worse in person, or in sofa. We bought it about 9 years ago for the other *$3£%#5^!7*?¡ house. My recent purge almost included this. The question was should it stay or should it go...

As EB White might have said, "That is some sofa."


It is staying. This is not the most comfy couch, but it is worth something. Also, there really isn't a place for it, perhaps someday it will be in one of the children's homes.

When the upholsterer gave me a bid he forgot to mention the $48/yard charge for using fabric not from them (bought some place else.) It wound up costing much less than a new one. Wound up a pretty (to some) custom couch.

FYI: What is the difference anyway? Couch & Sofa? Wikipedia, the trusted, says, "None."

A couch is an upholstered item of furniture for the comfortable seating of more than one person and typically has an armrest on either side.

A sofa is a piece of furniture also called a couch or Davenport

P is for Perfect world and tables.

In a perfect world you don't get everything you want. (Please NO Roling Stones' lyrics here!) I do love this table, even a little fuzzy. So nice to admire things without wanting them. It is from Gumps in SF. It is a copper kettle/table. Grand idea.
