Back in the late 80s I found this settee at a garage sale covered in burgundy corduroy upholstery with a little white paint smudge on the back of it for $50. I thought it was such an unusual piece due to its lines that I wanted it. I was sure it could be such a nice piece. It got shoved from one place to another - it was in my daughter's room, her apartment, my parents' home and then finally it came home to roost when we remodeled a new bedroom for ourselves. I had it recovered (which jacked the investment considerably). Every room it's used in will be decorated around this piece of furniture now. It is a sturdy piece and the upholsterer said it was very unusual (I agree - have never seen another one like it).Be sure to check out Diane's 2nd Time Around over at A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words. You will see lots of refurbished treasures there.

Your settee certainly has beautiful lines. I like the fabric you chose.
Your settee is beautiful. I have seen one like it in my bedroom...Smiling. It looks exactly like mine but my fabric is floral. I bought mine in the late 80's as well.
I love your fabric and the look is great.

Girl, you got a deal on that loveseat. I've seen places in NC that carry something similar, and they are hundreds of dollars. But you're right, I've not seen one just like this, and that is a steal of a price Neat!
