modernwizardI recently scored the Jonathan Adler Barbie couch, shown below in two photos I took at doll club over two years ago.
Even though I coveted it back then, I swore up and down that I would not get it. Guess what? I did! This piece commands ridiculous prices on Ebay. Lucky people can find it for ~$40.00, but the standard price seems to be between $50.00 and $75.00. For a couch. Anyway, mine was just over $36.00, shipping included, which is a veritable steal.
As much as I love the deep, rich magenta of the couch [not as light and horrible as the trademarked Barbie Pink Retchfest], it definitely needs rehab before it's acceptable for use. The silly throw pillows and the fringed blanket have to go. I'm thinking that it needs a hefty does of black, possibly black velvet throw pillows and a matching drape over the back. Or some black with white accents, just to tie into the white trim. I might also have to detach and recover the pink bolster pillows. I never thought I'd say this, but anything to stop it from being so PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
