I bought a chair yesterday and I’m strangely excited about it. (It was on sale in the store, I guess it’s not on sale online because I didn’t pay $699 for it.) I found it at Macy’s, which is funny because I didn’t even realize that Macy’s sold furniture until Jose mentioned that he’d gotten his couch there (well, at Foley’s, before Foley’s was bought by Macy’s). We stopped by just to look, and while they had a small selection, it was the first store where I actually liked at least 50% of the furniture!
Most stores have such astonishly ugly chairs. We stopped by Star Furniture and Sussan and out of the at least 200 chairs at those two stores, I liked exactly two of them. Is it too much to ask for a wider selection of furniture with simple lines in solid colors? I don’t want some hideous paisley pattern. I don’t want ornate legs. I don’t want huge curvy padded arms. I don’t want a recliner. I don’t want a chair with a “skirt.” I don’t want a chair that is uncomfortable. I just want a nice simple chair in a nice simple color that is comfortable to sit in.
Here’s Jose modeling my chair for me. Only mine will be a dark chocolate brown color called “bittersweet.” I get to pick it up on Thursday and I can’t wait! Bye-bye papasan.
I’m finally getting over the cold, so I’m definitely running tonight.
