Hideous, free orange loveseat for my hideous, and definitely-not-free orange home office

Remind what segment you work in and how likely this is to survive as a set piece in it.

I know it has something to do with both lighting and “plumbing”.

Comfy place to sit while at the drive-in!

Mrs. Doo rhandle would HATE that, I know because that’s the kind of thing i might bring home.

Depending on the client, I prefer incredibly dim lighting. I even offer discounts if I can keep the light off.

When I was a kid, my parents had the sofa piece to that set, but in blue. I think it was a wedding present or some wacky thing they bought as newlyweds - it was must have been well over 6 feet long, and the softest plush tufted velour. I suspect was expensive when new - when we made a long-ish distance move, my dad said he didn’t want to deal with it, and we gave it away.

No offense, but I think as finds go, the mission- style chair was a much better prize.

I’m not sure what scares me more. The stains it already has, or the stains it will get.

Plush! I can smell the dust from here.

Was the previous owner moving in with their kids or into a nursing home? I’m always a bit nervous about bedbugs with free fabric furniture.

Previous owner is my neighbor, this sat is in their entry way largely looking orange for the AMBIANCE

Is you home office really orange?

Few weeks back I scored a fancy stainless steel water cooler and new plastic 5 gallon jug from outside a church. Spent at least as long cleaning it as you should that couch and have run somewhere around 25 gallons through it so far. Now I just need to find some glass 5 gallon bottles for truly enjoyable drinking.

A known source would make me feel much better.  It will certainly provide some ambiance.  Hopefully it give Luna many years of happy snoozes.

Also I'm not completely stupid (just mostly) -- steam cleaning it right now before it enters the home

Looks like a good napping couch.

One day, while unloading a bunch of old window out of the back of my truck at the “Take it or Leave it” section of my local transfer station, a truck backs in next to mine with a very orange couch in the back.

Nearly done unloading, I shout over to the guy, “What’s wrong with it?” He tells me it has no issues and is from his mom’s basement, and it’s been down there for a doz en years or more. “Put it in my truck”, I said.

The first couch for my first home, joining the brown chair and love seat bought at a yard sale for $40. I replaced it all 6 or 7 months later when my tax return was done, but I will always remem ber that big orange couch.

Carboys from a homebrew shop? 5 gallons is the most common size.

Yes, they used to be overly common. Wasn’t sure they were still in production.

Oh, very much so. Maybe $30 new; cheaper on Craigslist.
