I'm going ...Yay! I can post my comment now! <br /><br />I'm going to have to disagree with you on the lush, plush room. I like the throw pillows. :)<br /><br />However, I love the green gondola sofa. Those colors from the late 1960s are the ones I have done my kitchen / living room / dining room in (it's all one big open space - a great open layout for a 1959 home).Missouri Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057549777667213235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-70506626513444398942012-07-30T13:44:25.353-05:002012-07-30T13:44:25.353-05:00I'm sure many a good designer bemoaned the bad...I'm sure many a good designer bemoaned the bad taste of the 70s and 80s, but they probably had to force themselves to bend to the will of the consumer if they wanted to stay in business. I can't imagine that Pearsall was happy about having to produce that collection.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-36382092514962730192012-07-30T13:29:02.317-05:002012-07-30T13:29:02.317-05:00A Pearsall gondola (like the first one) in charcoa...A Pearsall gondola (like the first one) in charcoal grey or moss green is right at the top of my "must have" list. They're simply stunning. The white looks really nice as well, but I'm far too clumsy to own anything with white upholstery.<br /><br />Not really sure what everyone was doing in the 70's but they really had a knack for making odd furniture. Plush needs to stay where is belongs: on children's stuffed animals.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.com
