When my daughter was a teenager, she bought a comfy plush chair with a sparkly blue fabric. For a while, it was her favorite place to sit and read novels; but then she went away to college, and it didn’t get much use. Later it ended up in the basement, in a corner of the home theater, so that she could fit more friends in there to watch a movie when she came home.
It’s not as plush as it once was, or as bright and sparkly; and it definitely wouldn’t fit the color scheme of the home theater even if it still had the original blue, rather than being faded and dusty. I’ve been meaning to buy some new folding chairs anyway. Even if it was pretty once upon a time, my daughter’s old blue chair has long since outlived its usefulness.
About Clutter Comedy: Every Sunday (which I envision as a day of rest after a productive week of de-cluttering) I post a Clutter Comedy article describing my most memorable clutter discovery of the week. Other bloggers who wish to join in are welcome—just post a link in the comments! There’s no need to publish any “before” photos of your clutter, if they are too embarrassing. The idea is simply to get motivated to clean it up, while having a bit of fun too!
Aw, I used to have a papazan chair in college that I loved! It was really hard to let go of because it seemed like such a cozy place to curl up and read a book. My design-minded husband convinced me that it no longer fit our decor scheme either 🙂
Yes, it can be hard to let go of cozy old furniture sometimes…
Hi Meg, yes I agree, we have many lights to turn now, different from the old times, when only the outside light was available. 🙂
Hi Elizabeth, I think you meant to comment on my Nurturing Thursday post instead, but no worries, it’s always good to see you here! 🙂
