Furniture Lust

[danaeris]

Long have I lusted after the velour couches and armchairs at Customs House near my apartment. I'm told the factory outlet that supplies them is somewhere in East Bay and far more affordable, but alas I know not where it is.

Couchs at Customs House start around $1000 new for loveseats and go up to about $1500 for full sized couchs. Floor models are more around $700 for a full sized couch.

So please excuse me if I can't help but drool a little over this little beauty selling for only $300, or this beautiful thang, selling for $450, both on Craigslist.

I don't really want those, do I? Tell me I don't so I'm not as tempted as I honestly currently am. mmmmm....

I wish email were working. But at least I have my work address still right now.

That red one is absolutely, jaw dropping gorgeous! *drools*

All of the furniture at Customs House is That Cool. Really. In fact, a lot of them are nicer than that! Imagine the white one in red and black detailing, for instance. They have a nice selection of deep purple couchs too. I WANT!

Both are really nice looking. I'd be interested in how comfortable they are, though. I've seen really nice looking couches that are horrible to sit in (always sliding off, slipping down between the seat cushions, etc).

You certainly have nice taste, though.

I can't say I've sat in them long term, but I know I've sat at least temporarily in ones like the black and red one, and it was VERY comfortable. See, not only are these modern tasteful designs in pretty colors, but the fabrics are soft and sexy to touch. I encourage people who wander by the shop to run their hands over the furniture as they pass by.

And thank you for the compliment! These aren't the two that I would necessarily take from the store if I were purchasing a new one, but I think they're nifty.
