Its a new year and we traditionally review the past year and resolve to change aspects of our lives that we are dissatisfied with. For me, I have a furniture problem. Chairs. I love chairs. From a furniture prospective they provide a designer with an opportunity to express creativity and interpretation of the human form, unbounded by utilitarian necessities such as creating storage space or a work surface. The great modern chair designs are as much a piece of sculpture as they are a functional piece. My problem is, when I find one that I like, I buy it. Not because I need a place to sit but because it is like having a great piece of art. We now have more chairs than we have butts to fill them or space to use them. Its time to start paring down.
Get outa my head! I too have the same chair problem. Got a garage full of em' to prove it. And yet here I am eagerly scrolling this site for more...
ReplyDeleteYeah, the chair thing is addicting. I've sold a couple of my chairs since I added this post but I've also purchased a couple more, so I still have more than I know what to do with. My upholsterer is also working on a couple more for me. I've got a really cool one that I should be adding later today. I really don't want to sell it but its ridiculous to keep these if I'm not using them.
ReplyDeleteAnd...thanks for posting a comment. Sometimes I'm not sure if anyone is reading all my musings!
