morgphil Thank you! -- for your quick reply and helpful link. After I went to the 'more information' I saw that there was a not that the sofa-bed was Modernica. I appreciate the link.
The orange wool sofa by Modernica satisfies her husband's need for modern design while the vintage sideboard in the background appeases her desire for a lived-in look.
I GOT IT! Instead of a 2nd couch, we use the Balinese daybed in the living room. We could secure it structurally, get one big cusion to fit, and then a pillow. It could be perfect for chilling and watching TV and would save us money!
