The chair……I can now see it!

i have a whole chaise lounge

Slightly off topic, but a friend used to have a sign above a hook on the back of her boys' bedroom door which read
"For Use When The Floor Is Full"

I only have a new dress and new bag on there today ready for weekend. Usually there is a bra or two so wouldn’t have dared take a picture.

My bedroom chair Dh has his own.

We have almost finished redoing our bedroom and have just had the chair recovered. It is really saggy and comfy and only has clothes on it overnight which I tidy in the morning. It is tucked under the eaves. The two pairs of trousers on it are waiting to go to be altered but my lovely seamstress is away.

Forgot to add the photo. I have added dh's which is much tidier than normal and which he refused to have recovered.

We have no room for a chair in our bedroom so have 3 hooks above the laundry basket for clothes that have yet to drop into it.

This is my chair, its on DH side of the bed, I must admit I took 2 t shirts, a pair of shorts, a belt and a towel off it to take photo.

Mine’s a Lloyd Loom chair covered in my Oodie, a Guides hoody, a couple of cuddlies and a fleece!

Mine’s a spare dining chair, a wheelback Windsor antique chair. It has extra rug for when it is cold in bed ( if only!), old trousers for doing dirty jobs in, clothes not ready for wash but not yet dirty, spare jumper from when I last needed one.
Underneath, shoes waiting to be put away.

I deliberately don’t have ‘a chair’, as things would vanish for ever! I do have a stool for hair drying purposes, but clear it every morning ( well, nearly every morning).

We used to have an old dining chair, it was never used to sit on, just as a dumping ground for clothes. Now gone, clothes put away.

This used to be mine. It is well over 100 years old that belonged to my grandmother.
It went all through two wars and now painted white in my great grandson's bedroom.

My dog was a Cairn Terrier that used to correspond with the actress Wendy Richards dog.
Wendy used to write the letters to my dog on behalf of Shirley Brahms her dog and I wrote back to hers through my dog.
Sounds nuts but I think it helped Wendy to focus on something when in the throes of cancer, that she died of.

Our bedroom isn't small but somehow there's no room for a chair.
I do have a large G-plan stool (very retro) which seems to end up with various clothes on it and a pair of shoes tucked underneath. Every so often it does get cleared and I resolve to keep it free of clutter.

This isn't mine btw!

I'm another one with a clear seat.
My chair was brought back from France.

What a nice thread Sago, thanks
So interesting to see the different styles that people choose, and how we are all different.
My husbands chair isn't used for sitting, it's an extension of his wardrobe. I gather things at night on mine, but I tidy it every morning so I can sit on it. I love my little chair, it's so colourful.
Libman your ballet shoes took me back just a few years to DDs childhood.
The coat is lovely. White Stuff is my favourite shop.
If I wear clothes that don't need washed, I just air them and put them back in the wardrobe.

I don't have a chair. If I did it wouldn't be recognisable. For clothes that don't need washed I have 4 hooks on the inside of my bathroom door where I hang things either directly on the hooks or on coathangers hung on the hooks. I also hang my nightwear on these every day in between washes.

I don't have a dressing table so I have a largish, pine mirror on my window sill and sit on 'the chair' to do my hair, use my tweezers (for my face) etc. It has been like this for the 52 years I have lived here but strangely when I was 21 the reflection in the mirror seemed more like me than the 74 year old I see now. I definitely think I need a new mirror - or a new face

DanniRae I definitely think I need a new mirror - or a new face grin.

Ha ha. how I agree with your comment...........me too.
thanks for a chuckle.

OP here I’ve read all your posts, thank you so much for your pictures too!
I decided I was a bit smug posting the after pic only so I have taken a photo of the chair this morning.
We had friends over for a BBQ last night and we had rather a lot of wine so we both just threw our stuff on the chair and fell into bed?.

I think I win the prize for the most items on one chair! The upholstered one is for my moulting cat (cushion needs a good vacuuming!), and the other has my whole collection of trousers ready for size sorting since I lost some weight and most of them are too now large. The jigsaw puzzles have multiplied during and since lockdown, so I have run out of storage space.

I'm trying to get DH to relocate his jigsaw puzzles from the dining room to a cupboard somewhere
He needs another reminder, perhaps I'll try to spread them across the hall floor ?

My chair is an embarrassment! It's particularly heavily loaded just now as the weather has lurched from being boiling hot to cooler and vice versa and I've thrown hardly worn tops and trousers on the chair ready for the next change.
The chair is an old Georgian one, a veteran of many generations in our family. It deserves better.

I’ve had wall 3 pictures and a dangly candle thingy for the ceiling …. All on the chair for at least 2 months now waiting to be put up ?

I have a storage chest in my bedroom and am in the process of emptying it and replace with a chair. Having read the posts and seen the photos I’m having second thoughts ?

I had a plastic folding chair with a tubular metal frame which was used in the same way - some items untouched for many years. Then my daughter broke her ankle and needed a seat in the shower. The pile of stuff was hastily relocated and still not sorted through! Daughter now weight bearing so my chair is available again. I still have to decide whether to put it back where it was, sort the stuff and allow it to be a dumping ground again or not.
