I followed the link to the Welsh Blankets yesterday and looked around a bit. I'm glad you posted this. I lingered on the couch for quite a while in my imagination and felt, yes, envious. There must be something wrong with it, I thought, but I'll be damned if I could find it. Now you've reminded me. It's in England.
I had a Mitchell Gold sofa that looked almost exactly like that, cost less, and was well-made (in the U.S.).
