It's the family room couch.
I wrote about the couch back in 2015. The teenagers heard me talk about replacing the couch, and they really wanted me to reconsider.
This year we are updating our family room upstairs, so we will be moving that furniture downstairs to the family room and moving the couch out of the house.
There are plans for the couch to live at a new home. It's fulfilled it's purpose here at our house. I gave fair warning to the young adults who have spent many an hour sleeping, gossiping, lounging and laughing on this couch. They are wistful, but they understand that the removal of the couch gets us closer to media chairs.
This month we will be soaking up the emotional and physical comfort of the couch.
Next month we will be sinking into the living room furniture here in the basement.
It's softer, more manageably sized and still comfortable.
Thank you, Couch, for giving my family a place to relax.
Some pieces of furniture just seem to hang on and on. Hopefully this one will find a new home and make many others comfortable.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to take a picture of the kids on the couch! If they are like me, I will think back about the couch and wish I had a picture instead of just the picture in my mind.
ReplyDeleteOur couch was green plaid. A true 70's beauty.
So funny, I too have a green couch that has lived its time and needs to go. At least you have a replacement. That's my biggest problem, finding a new one because shopping is not my favorite pastime. Out with the old and in with the new! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how the furniture rotates from one place to the next as new is added. There is nothing better than a comfy couch.
ReplyDeleteHad I not know the departing is a couch, I'd have thought a family member was moving out. Poor couch. I hope it bonds w/ the sitters in its new home.
ReplyDeleteOh, the couch. It does not live forever, but your memories and slices will!
