Where to sit?

I've been yardsaling lately.  And painting.  Having lived in rentals for so many years, and looking forward to several years more, I'm trying to find ways of personalizing the space.  Today I looked up ideas for chairs, and I thought you guys might like to get in on the fun.  After all, what's-her-face, one of the judges on Top Design, says that chairs are like jewelry for a room.  I'm sure she was thinking of these.

Did you ever have a mood ring when you were younger?  Well here's a Mood Chair.  It reacts to the colors and movement its sensors perceive.  Just try hiding from it.  Maybe you should nickname it Hal.

This one's called the Sushi Chair.  I'm not sure why, because to me it looks like my sewing drawer threw up.  Or maybe it's a quilter who was punched by a knitter.  My sister knits.  And she is quite strong.  I wonder how many of these line her living room.

Alternatively, she could have a chair like this one, a place to store the yarn before she remade it into a different creation.

This next chair reminds me of cannibals who wear bones as necklaces.  Or the movie Labyrinth.  Or Toy Story.  If you mistreat the dolls they'll come to life and bite you when you sit on them.

Speaking of chairs that bite...

Ha!  You thought I was going to say how awful the chair was.  No.  I'm sure the above, being made of plush stuffed animals, is quite soft.  I just wonder if people might get the wrong impression about your cleaning skills.

  1. Your knitting sister does have the bad habit of punching quilters. . . These chairs are kinda kooky fun. I'm really glad the Mood Chair doesn't change colors based on the temperature of your butt. THAT would be awkward in company! What if it suddenly changed colors while you were sitting on it? Try blaming the dog for that!

  2. Haha Lisa it probably does just change color depending on the temperature of your butt. But really I think any kind of crazy chair would be slightly awkward in company.

    The Sushi Chair looks like a dresser drawer full of old 80's ties and dirty socks came to life. Gross.
