Return of the Dreaded Sofa!

Should that be Dreaded Sofa II: the Return?  Or Son of Dreaded Sofa?

I've complained before, once or twice, about how aggravating it is for a set designer to find the perfect sofa for onstage.  Or, for that matter, a barely-acceptable-sofa.  So I had to laugh when I got today's call from a set designer friend - so excited!  He'd gotten hold of the perfect 1950's sofa in great condition and for free!  He said only another designer would understand.

(The illustration is of a 1950s Naugahyde sofa - borrowed from a blog called No Telling.  Don't I wish I could tidy my living room with a hose!)
