A Confederacy of Dunces ( the chair version)

My tale begins with this chair that Sweet Man just painted for me. It's currently in it fourth incarnation. When I first brought it home, it was painted white and had a floral seat cushion.

It later made its way to Little Pissy's first college apartment where it was painted hot pink and had a black and white zebra covered seat. It sat beside the fireplace (yes, she's that spoiled... her first college apartment had a fireplace) in a room with vaulted ceilings and a Matisse print we call "The Fishbowl" on the wall above the fireplace. The room had a decidedly animal print theme to it, but was very cute (of course) with pink accents.

Next Little P painted the chair black and covered the seat with a solid ecru quilted fabric and used it as a desk chair in her black and creme toile bedroom~which we redid her junior year of college. The animal print days were over....

Now that she's in the big city, she has no use for my chair. And so it has made its way back to Hell and is taking up residence in the master bedroom in its latest and hopefully-final-incarnation.

Redoing this chair led me to the realization that I suffer from an extreme over abundance of chairs.....

"Just how many"..... you may ask.

Or not.

Either way, I decided it would be fun (at least for me) to answer that question by having a photo gallery of the many chairs in Casa de Pissy~

but only those that have a story to tell.....


Blue/white toile: one of my favorites. Purchased newly upholstered at a flea market for my den. Currently in the guest room.

Suzy Q wants it.

She can't have it.



rocking chair: bought for its whimsical lines..... and to rock my future grandchildren.

As there are no grandchildren in sight, has yet to be re-done. Or dusted.

Soon to be moved to our storage building to await the aforementioned grandchildren...
wicker and wrought iron Pier One chair: until recently in my living room. On it's way to Little Pissy's city apartment.

replaced by.....
Lazy chair: most recent acquistion. Purchased at my friend's shop for a steal.

I love it. But it was upon arriving home with this purchase and realizing that I would have to give chairs away to make room for it~ that I have come to the sad conclusion that I have an affliction.......


Its called: Too Damn Many Chairs!



*editor's note* this isn't counting the six others in the house.....or the wing-back I sent to Sweet Man's office...or the one bought at auction that I couldn't resist ~ it was perfect for my office...See? An affliction.....
