#1 way to convince your husband to buy a new couch

Make him be the one to research reupholstery prices on Angie's List.

After I found the smelling salts and revived him, he allowed as how it might make sense to pitch the urine-soaked couch with cushions that have been washed so many times they are literally falling apart at the seams, instead of paying $700 (plus the cost of fabric) to reupholster or slipcover it.

Praise the Lord and pass the Ethan Allen catalog!

We paid less than that to get a "might as well be new" couch from our local furniture resell store.
