HOT or NOT? Safari Couch

I would love your opinion: usually I'm more thrift shop than yard sale, but our neighbors were selling this snazzy couch and I had really been wanting one for the balcony. It comes with a matching chair and, with some haggling, I snagged the pair for $20! As you can see, there is some jungle print action going on here. At first I thought I'd like to make some lovely slipcovers to hide the gaudiness, but the elephant parade started to grow on me... What do you think of this safari party - totally rad or totally hideous? Be honest.

  2. That's a tough one. I think you could rock it if you added some chic safari details or more pillows in bright colors. I am in love with anything with elephants on it. I think it'd also look good re-done. I guess it depends if it goes with the feel of what you want. It's more laid back and summery.

  4. Good find! I say keep an element of it - maybe the pillows - it's got some coolness going on but maybe less is more....
