We've inherited several pieces of furniture over the years (okay, mostly ALL of it) and I often times find myself describing our home as being decorated in Early American Garage Sale.
Most recently, 2 overstuffed recliners that belonged to my parents.
Because of their declining mobility, they've chosen to downsize their livingroom, which, means we've upgraded to new-ish furniture.
But, this chair, right here, is what my youngest likes to call Mom's Thinking Place.
Besides the bathroom, it is my favorite place to regroup, relax and reconnect with myself.
Especially, in the early morning hours, while my mind is still quiet and I enjoy the nothingness that exists between sleep-encrusted eyes.
No, it's not the trendiest or even prettiest of chairs, I know.
Still, even the dog seems to sense its specialness (above all the other pieces of furniture he's otherwise quick to claim, as his own) and, well, I just love that, you know?

My Thinking Place is in the corner of our sectional couch.
What sucks is how, if I sit here (see? I’m here now!) too long, I practically need an extra large shoehorn to get me out. 🙂
Your chair is nice. I like the flowered pillow, too.

Our house is decorated in American Garage Sale, too. Even our TV is a hand-me-down.
My thinking place changes. One week I might spend a lot of time in one of the chairs, another week it may be on the sofa, still another week I may gravitate to the dining room table. I guess my mind likes a change of scenery.
