Yes or No?

I'm intrigued by this blue leather, Chippendale style tufted couch that I spotted on Craig's List. Is it indeed fabulous or am I being blinded by all the tufts?  Could it look less granny and more Domino with the right pillows?

YES!!!!! i even think gold leafing the legs might look cool too!

DEFINITE YES!!!!

Jessica said...

I think it's fantastic. Maybe you could put some (metallic?) paint on the legs.

I think it's gorgeous and if it's in your area you should buy it! Even if it sits in your basement at least you can look at it everyday!

Laurie said...

Beautiful! Yes, it could be so glam - maybe even paint the legs grey?

Stephanie said...

Absolutely yes! I dream of finding things like that on Craigslist!

Some fun pillows and definitely a coat of paint on the legs!

Amy said...

YES!

Krysta said...

It could absolutely look non-granny with the right pillows and in the right setting!

Wilkinson said...

Absolutely! Go for it. Commenter Laurie made a great suggestion re: painting the legs. That could really make it "Domino". Good luck!

I think it's amazing! And I agree with all the above comments - maybe paint the legs to modernize it a little, and give it a couple cute pillows! As long as it's not in a grandma's den setting with floral balloon valances, knitted doilies everywhere and dark paneled walls, there's nothing grandma about it!

I would paint the legs a glossy back and go graphic/bold with the pillows. I'm a sucker for anything tufted!

Kristin said...

Yes, that is one sexy couch.

Mrs. DeVore said...

Yes!!! It's awesome!

Annie @ House on Rene said...

What a fabulous find! Yes I think you could make it work, paint on the legs, new pillows, new life for the couch!

i'd love to see bright white legs on it with funky pillows.

J Horton said...

I think it would look pretty dang fabulous in my beach house (that isn't built yet, of course!)

Amy said...

Do it - I love it and you will make it fabulous!

emily ressegue said...

YES YES YES!!!! It's rockin!

Sarah said...

I could take it or leave it...BUT, paint the legs (black/grey/metallic) and I would be sold! Even white might look nice (as a Carolina alum, it would make my little Tar Heel heart so happy)!

Shannon said...

i saw this on CL as well! so cheap! hope you snagged it. it definitely needs a good (modern) home!

Erin said...

I say yes!! But I would paint the legs, I think that would help make it more Domino-ish

Mitch and Serretta Barlow said...

Oh my gosh, please tell me you bought it!!!

Michelle said...

YES!!!! Did you get it?!

Corinna said...

Different legs, and the right pillows, and it'll be so chic!

My first reaction: Noooo!! Why? Because I have spent the last week wishing I could buy this for myself... but I'm not moving to NC for a few more months. So now I say YES. Buy it. Give it a good home. And if you decide down the road it's not right for you, I don't think you'll have any problem reselling it.
