Multi-Purposing...

As I drape laundry on our beloved "red chair" for the umpteenth time, I thought, "How fun to do a blog about our multi-purpose not to mention beloved red chair!"

We bought this chair at Pier One in El Paso back in 2005ish?  We thought that it will fit well in our retirement home in Concho!  Since 2005, this chair, which doesn't have a name (we probably should name it as we name our cars, why not the chair?) has traveled to Okinawa, North Carolina, back to Okinawa, and then back again to North Carolina.  It's still in great shape, except for the ottoman that our fat cat loved to sit in, is a little deflated.  Most of it's life, sadly, it's been more of a clean clothes standby hanger.  It has enjoyed us sitting and reading a book or drinking coffee in it, especially when we lived at Foster in Okinawa.  Many a' nights, I've sat in this chair enjoying wine while I wait for Brian to come home!

It has served it's purpose well and will continue to--whatever it may be for the time being.  We're taking it to the new house and will be enjoyed in our master bedroom, hopefully not to hang clothes on this time.  If it holds up, we still plan on taking it to Concho!

Next time you buy a piece of furniture, consider it's many uses!  Can you hang lots of clothes on it?  How many stacks of shirts can the seat cushion fit?  Does the ottoman fit a fat cat?  Can you sit in it comfortably while reading a book, or drinking a glass of wine?  We love our red chair!
