I either read on the sofa with sun coming in the window,
in backyard on a chair with cusion, getting sun, or
in my sleep number bed...love it...on a 35, nice and squishy, and read on my side.

I saw it in a magazine and it looked perfect for reading, then I saw one in person. I did get right in it and took it for a spin. Sadly for the both of us, it just does not fit!

If I can figure out how to put a picture in the body of a post I will let everyone else see what we are raving about. Wouldn't it be funny if we are both talking about different chairs?

I got it!

Oh girls, I love the chair! Is Macy's the only place you can get it? Am I seriously considering buying a chair for my Kindle? I think I am I have a big empty corner in my bedroom too. Can we spell RATIONALIZATION...

M-O-O-N?

That chair is very similar to one that I have been looking at at Room and Board:

LOL but it is a gorgeous chair, the only thing I would add would be an ottoman.

Okay - I will resist the urge to buy a kindle chair, even though i have an empty space in my bedroom and the boy rarely uses his recliner - it could stand to be replaced.

The love seat i currently use for DTB will have to be enough, right

LOL at M-O-O-N

That Large Swivel Chair must be available from different sources at different price points. I copied the picture from Macy's because that was the first picture I found. I have seen a similar chair in high end magazines and the one I test drove was in a lower end furniture store.

I can just see myself in that chair with a grandchild tucked under each arm reading Fudge or Ramona or David Gets in Trouble and laughing our heads off.

Yes, a cresent shaped ottoman that would fit the curve of the chair.

Does anyone know the approximate cost?

The one from Room and Board is $999. The one from Macy's is on sale right now for the same price.

 

[chynared21]

The two I saw ranged from $500-$700.

 

[Linda Cannon-Mott]

$500 isn't bad but my hubby would flip at $1000 for a "reading chair." He thinks I am over the top with my Kindle anyway. Did I mention he is not a reader so what can you expect?  He is into tools and wood working. I think I've rolled my eyes on some of his purchases.

So maybe he can build you a comfy reading chair and then you can get Decalgirl to make a matching skin.

 

[Linda Cannon-Mott]

Now that's a thought!

Recliner, bed with one of those armchair pillows, dining room table, living room couch, throne room, planes, trains and automobiles ... in other words, anyplace I sit, I read.

LOL Gertie! You described me to a T. Though I don't have a recliner... In our great room we have a couch and a loveseat. My hubby is usually sprawled out on the couch, so that leaves the comfy loveseat for me. The best part is that we have a big cushy ottoman which I slide over to prop up my feet if I want. My dog (26 pound Cocker Spaniel) is usually wedged right up against me. It's so weird - there's a whole other cushion she could rest on... but NO... She has to snuggle up really close! Often times the cat comes to sit on my lap as well. One thing I do need is a better lamp though. I have a nice decorative floor lamp, but I think I might check out some different lightbulbs or something.

All but one of my lamps is good for reading. That's my criteria for buying a lamp. Come to think of it, room for books is my criteria for buying a house, too, not to mention a book pocket in my car.

Urrrrgh. Don't even mention floor lamps. I have been looking for the perfect one for my living room for 3 years. Still have not found it yet.

I go for utility rather than beauty. Family, friends, they all tell me how cute I could fix up my house and they are all willing to help (or take over). The closest I can come to naming my style is whimsical. Meaning I buy things on a whim and then find a place in my house to plop it.

I wish the ice cream truck would roll by. I haven't had a whimcicle in years.

If this tells you anything about the floor lamp problem, Jim will not even weigh in on that topic. Is it too much to ask for a "mission" style floor lamp with out a stained glass shade? One that isn't either hideously ugly or wildly expensive?
