A New Era in Our Sofa Living Begins

The Heaven Couch has been with me since my first apartment at Penn State. In its college days The Heaven Couch was host to a lot of college stuff. Then it moved to an apartment that my roommate lived in and then it came back to me and became a Jarecki when Dave and I moved to Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin it moved to three apartments in as many years and was hauled in and out of a second floor window, twice.

In Portland, The Heaven Couch donned it's first slip cover and began a new life in a new home. It comforted me through my mystical health crisis and Dave's pneumonia. Through my pregnancy and miscarriage it held my nausea and then grief.

It is for that reason, that we put The Heaven Couch on Craig's List. Even after removing the slip cover I still wasn't able to be with the couch like I used to be. And so we posted this ad:

It's the end of an era for our Heaven Couch.

This light colored down couch is looking for a good home to spend its remaining days. Given to me by my college roommate who took it from her parents', it's been living in smoke-free households all its life. There are some cat scratches from when the parents owned the sofa and our dog has been using it as a second bed for the last few years.

The covers zipper off and can be washed. The middle leg is splinted with a knife and duck tape, and the underside of the couch is ripped. Other than that it is a very comfy couch that is looking for a good home. And we'll give it to you free if you promise to love it.

A few hours later a tattooed boy came by in his minivan to take The Heaven Couch away. And in it's place we got a blue suede, kidney-shaped couch. Satchel was heard saying, "you complete me" to the couch.
