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?

But how dirty??

Normally if I only wear tops for a couple of hours and change when I come home, I might wear three times. I hang worn at one end of the wardrobe after airing.
However in very hot weather I wouldn't obviously.

Noticeably, either by sight or smelling anything from them. Which is why I hang mine to air if there are no noticeable dirty marks on them, to enable any slight odours including perfume to drift off, then before actually re wearing them check them over again and either be happy to put back in wardrobe or wear, or in wash basket.

I don't have a chair but I have a suggestion for clothes worn but not yet needing a wash. I turn them inside out and rehang them in the wardrobe. Then next time after I wear them, into the wash they go!

Brilliant idea NewHere - Thank you smile

Clothes don't have to be washed unless they are dirty.

I have a chair, but to take a photo of it would necessitate me getting up from my chair, hiking all the way to the other side of the house to find my iPad, finding this thread again on my ipad, posting said picture then hiking all the way back to this side of the house to continue on my pc....... geez i am exhausted just thinking about it grin

Yes, indeed I do have a chair and woebetide anything other than my elephant that should finds it way upon it.

My cream rocking chair ....

No chair, but an ottoman that`s groaning under the weight of the clothes piled on it!

I don't have a chair but in homage to one if I did, my husband throws his clothes into the vague area the chair would be sat in the bedroom ?

Milest0ne Fri 15-Jul-22 17:01:46

My chair is filled with a plastic box of cushions to protect them when we were decorating.
I am grateful to know that other people don't have anywhere in particular for used but not dirty clothes.
My OH puts clean and dirty clothes on a chair, all mixed up. Only clothes IN the washing basket gets washed ,not those on the top. I am being bl**dy minded about this.

M y chair. It is a very old one, purchased back in 1972 as one of four, which were round our kitchen table. Was then polished wood, slatted at back. Had lots of uses and the other three have all slowly died and gone. This one stayed, painted several times in different colours to match whatever room it was in. How white, with cushion and my very easy to keep,- no food, no dirt box, no barking, no walkies doggie. I have other chairs that can help out if required with lots of company, this is rarely moved.

This one doesn’t have clothes piled on it as it is just behind Rosie’s bed and that might be a temptation too far.

The other one usually has a selection of jeans on it, but as I have been away, I did actually tidy up!
All my hair stuff (dryer, straighteners etc) which live in the basket beside the chair, account for the tangle of flexes etc

Lovely chairs MawtheMerrier, Edwardian by the look of it? I am a devil for chairs, have a ridiculous number. These are my current favourites…

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 ?

grin
We have a sideboard in the hall that held extra food during the pandemic. It now holds lots of jigsaws as I became addicted to them during lockdown.

I cleared enough space for them in a cupboard upstairs - so far they're in the wardrobe in the little bedroom, on a high shelf in the study gathering dust and shoved down the side of dining room furniture.

I could take them all out of the boxes and throw them around ?

Callistemon21 Fri 15-Jul-22 15:34:51

I need a corner, somewhere to put a chair.

Coconut, I love this chair! I have one the same shape that I was thinking of getting rid of but I've saved your picture to see if my clever friend might be able to cover my chair like yours. If I photographed mine now, it would be a photo of a pile of clothes topped with the quilted throw I've taken off the bed all balancing on 4 legs!

I don't have a chair (anymore) but I find the landing banister attracts a lot of attention ?

Forgot the box, and just discovered why it’s clear , his pj pants are under the bed
