Sofa of the Month Cl… wait. What the fuck?!, originally uploaded by coografik.

Ahh crap. They cut down the tree on the corner to make way for a
wheelchair ramp. Major bummer.

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

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.
