A Few Days

Yes, I do realize that it has been a few days since I wrote here last... problem is that there really hasn't been enough going on to talk about. Teapot has been striking... I have been knitting... and a little spinning. I have been doing some research on furniture... but these are all really mundane things to talk about. I will say that I have been enjoying the more spring-like conditions and noticing the birds that are returning every time we have a sunny day. Yesterday it snowed though so I kind of got busy trying to move things around in the house... I'm on a spring cleaning bend these days and thinking of getting my living room back out in our sunroom and moving our dining room back inside again.I did a little moving around yesterday and today I will do a little more.  Teapot and I agreed on some new furniture. We are going to sell our sectional couch because it doesn't fit in the sunroom. I do realize that we only bought it three years ago but I miss sitting out in the sunshine that's offered in the sunroom where this couch can't fit. So I've been looking at options for furniture.  I really want a wingback chair in my living room and have wanted one for quite some time... the reason: because it is a suitable chair for spinning... Most of the chairs that you buy today are far too low for spinning comfortable... you either have to have your knees up under your chin or your stretched out way too far. Spinning in anything other than an upright chair is not going to happen because my back will end up hooped again. In this day of leather sectionals and other types of low slung furniture... it is difficult to find a wingback that is nice.... and I tend to want funky things as I get older. This surprises me since I always leaned toward wanting more traditional styles in home decor. Instead I see different things like Jackson Pollock paintings and I'm swooning. Definately different from the Monets and Victorian furniture that used to turn me on. I also love Salvadore Dali. So as I grow older I tend more toward odd and modern... though I can't say I get Damien Hirst's stuff though I wouldn't mind owning the jewel encrusted scull if for no other reason than to pull off the jewels to sell them! Anyway... I ended up yesterday deciding on some pretty cool things for our living room... wanna see?!

I absolutely love this kiwi green wingback... and the cool thing is that it comes in several colours...

We have red....

And orange.... like how cool is that...

I was really struggling with which colour I liked best and then Daughter #1 said just get one of each.... I'm thinking about it. Still my eye keeps coming back to that kiwi green... I really like d that one.

Then I picked out a realatively normal couch....

Too bad it doesn't come in purple or blue!

And this rug would be nice...

and I even found Zebra skin ottomans...

So in the end, Teapot made the decision... he decided that kiwi green chairs would be right... cause the red with it would make it look like Christmas and the orange would be too much like brown... and since that kiwi green was my favorite... that's the way we'll go. This will take some time to do but I am determined to have the coolest sunroom ever....

Anyway that's what's been consuming me over the last little while... I'm off to have tea this morning with my dear boy before he goes off into the great white north to protest... right I still haven't written why teachers are their own worst enemy... maybe I'll get to that later today. Toast first though...
See ya.
