This poor thing is DOA. Can’t really get a good look at it. Brown is all I’m getting.

Ok, ok, so I haven’t been posting these but I’m still keeping track.

This is sad. I used to get a free sofa delivery every month but now I just get crap like this old TV. Come on Van Nuys. Work with me.

You know there hasn’t been much action on my corner for a long time. People just aren’t throwing their shit away like they used to—what’s this world coming to? Finally someone had the balls to drop this lovely combo of furniture. I just want to say for the record that there have been a few mattresses and one totally thrashed 80’s TV but I try not to bother you people with crap like that. I know we all want to see the sofas. I can’t tell you how many emails I get about the sofas. They speak to me and they speak to you. I get that.

Andy Capp brown plaid just goes with everything. Brown is an earth tone you know so you can see how in it’s day this sofa-bed was the ultimate design solution where form met function. Again it’s important to note that the cushions are missing: why? Get it while it lasts and pick up a twin and double for the same price!

Possibly this is an economic indicator but no one has has tossed their old furniture on my corner in quite a while. Maybe people aren’t moving as much or upgrading their household items as much.

So, in an attempt to get the posts flowing again on this blog and maybe just to say hi Blake sent me this photo from his Blackberry today. What I like about this one is that it has all the cushions which as you know is very rare. My second thought is simple how hard this sofa is trying to be wanted. It says to me, “Hey, I know I’m not looking so in style right now but look at this: I’m also a bed!” This one is like a brown mutt at the pound. It may blend in but it still has a lot to offer.

Man, this is the most boring sofa I’ve ever seen on this corner. Let’s get it together and try a little harder mmm-kay. The placement is all off and the color is dull. You’re better than that people of Van Nuys.

Bryan Warman sent this in from his iPhone. In a heartfelt moment just a few week ago Bryan was brave enough to admit that he’s one of the seven people who reads this blog. God bless you—I need all the hits I can get.

In the spirt of celebrating crap left on the street we kick this one off with black and yellow love seat. Yes, I said black and yellow. Not just yellow, NEON yellow. One doesn’t typically find this color combination in living room furniture because it’s visually disturbing and could someone like me migraine. If I could go to the island of LOST I would throw this thing in the time machine and send it back to 1986.

What sets this sofa apart from the upholstered Van Nuys rubbish I lovingly photograph is it’s unique city of origin: Hollywood. Being from Tinsel Town this sofa of course has an agent who, as you can see, just walked away and left his Panda Express Dr. Pepper. I love L.A.!

Welcome to the Sofa of the Month Club: Horror Edition. I spotted this duo of Nerf-meets-Rococo casually hanging out in perfect symmetry. Symmetry, can be very haunting like H. R. Geiger but in some cases symmetry can be incredibly peaceful and calming like a Cathedral. I’m really not clear how these two love seats could fit into ANY decor. What do these go with? Why did they need two them? I just don’t get it. All I know is I found it a little unsettling and I’m glad they’ve been hauled off by the Van Nuys elves.
