I have a couch my Mom gave me that looks like a Christmas ribbon - no crap - it is the ugliest thing in the world. It is a queen sleeper but unglier than you know what...........

I can say the only piece of furniture I bought in my new house here, over the 5 years I have owned it, was the special bed for my husband to sleep in when he came home from the nursing home. *had a horrible time bringing that thing in and putting it together*
I think I want something pretty in the living room!

it is probably beautiful in your mother's eyes and she may think that you will love it to
