Summer Blues
Pointy Shoes & Broken Thumbs absolutely loathe summer weather but cannot complain about summer deals. Craigslist has been good to us so far in that it has produced another gem.
Broken Thumbs was scouring CL when he came across a blue Danish Modern-meets-Florence Knoll sofa. When he sent it to Pointy Shoes for her opinion, she recognized it as a couch she saw on Danish Modern LA a year ago. It was unmistakable – the color, shape, and the arms having no wood.
Luckily for us, our friend with a truck, Robert, offered to help pick up this couch on the condition that Broken Thumbs help Robert pick up a couch for his gf so we made it a double couch date Saturday.
The color is deceiving as you can tell in the first image vs all the other photos.
The couch was in great condition except for the minor schmutz on the back. The fabric is a bit wrinkled also from having two 200+ lb grown men laying on it (previous owners).
It looks pretty good in our living room with the blue and wood, although initially Broken Thumbs did have some concerns. Its new home is against the wall with the large window and screens.
It also goes quite well with our new orange door!
Tiger is pleased with his new comfy digs.
It contrasts the door beautifully… great find!
