Remember that couch that I fell madly in love with, but didn't bid on as money was tight?

How lucky am I, who found another one with chairs, now that I was 'rich' enough to dare a bidding? Luckyyyy! Fine, they're not exactly the same in shape, and this one has another color and pattern alltogether but it came with chairs too. :) I'll just save up to get it upholstered in something new as sun as bleached the formerly black and white 50-pattern into a brown sort of mess.

So now, we have a good couch that turns into a bed when friends need to sleep over and comfy chairs! (thanks to our neighbours who helped us carry these in too, and thanks to Perle and her pal Kalle for testing the bouncy-ness of the couch. Yes it's plenty bouncy. Bounce bounce!)

While contemplating what color combination I might dress this couch up in (dark sides like the first one I saw is a given, that looks great) - I got lucky once again and found these items at Stadsmissionen, for like no money. 1950's mustard and muted olive! I think these items will influence the rest of the rooms colors now.

I have no idea who the signature "cgc" is or why there's a number on the back of the ashtray (number 145) - I found an identcal one on Tradera but no information on Rörstrand CGC. Whatever, it's awesome looking, the color is delish and goes well with the serving dish - and everything in turn goes great with my gold pencil thin lined wallpaper. Even if I tried to swear off teak and 1950s style that I'm so addicted to, as it doesn't really suit the house, these items are fitting in rather well. :)
