The chair……I can now see it!

Here is my chair in the bedroom.
I think many of us have one.
It’s never sat in but just used as a halfway house between the laundry and the wardrobe and a useful resting place for a plethora of stuff!

I have moved; gym bag, make up bag, deodorant, paperwork for a new appliance, many clothes, hair tools and finally the glasses I was looking for?.

Do you have a chair?
Would you be brave enough to photograph it?

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?.

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

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 grin

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.

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

Callistemon21 Thu 14-Jul-22 22:24:22

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!

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.

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.

Daddima Thu 14-Jul-22 21:14:29

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).

Cabbie21 Thu 14-Jul-22 21:07:10

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.

PaperMonster Thu 14-Jul-22 20:58:33

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

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.

Pittcity Thu 14-Jul-22 20:40:34

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.

kittylester Thu 14-Jul-22 20:27:00

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

kittylester Thu 14-Jul-22 20:24:03

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.

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.

MawtheMerrier Thu 14-Jul-22 19:40:19

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"

JaneJudge Thu 14-Jul-22 19:36:01

i have a whole chaise lounge

LOUISA1523 Thu 14-Jul-22 19:34:33

I tidied up yesterday so have a clear seat

Kittye Thu 14-Jul-22 15:59:10

To make more room in my bedroom I gave my bedroom chair to my granddaughter, I think it will be covered in all paraphernalia now. I’ve replaced it with a wicker hamper which I dump everything on.
Maw I love your chair ?

FarNorth Thu 14-Jul-22 15:58:07

I don't have a chair but do have assorted piles of books, junk mail etc.
Maybe I should get a chair ?

Chrissyoh Thu 14-Jul-22 15:55:49

& so is the the Toilet Brush one.?

Chrissyoh Thu 14-Jul-22 15:53:40

This a good thread ! ?

Copperjug Thu 14-Jul-22 15:47:40

Not a chair but a vey handy pouffe which was coincidentally tidied this morning.
