  1. Reminds me of a nice upholstered recliner I came across a few weeks ago. Inexplicably it was sitting by itself in the middle of a gravel parking lot at a park on top of a hill near here. Not a person or vehicle in sight anywhere. The view from up there on a clear day is magnificent — a sweeping, unobscured panorama of the Rockies from the Wyoming border south all the way to Pikes Peak. Certainly a view to make one wish for a recliner — but so strange sitting to find one sitting there like that. When I returned a few hours later, it was gone.

  2. Pretty sure I inherited that exact SAME chair when I was in college. We took the door of our coat closet and spent the better part of an evening figuring out a way to cram the thing in there to make a “nook.” We finally got it in– albeit at a bit of an angle– and I’m pretty sure we left it that way when we moved out. Perhaps it traveled on to find and inspire you.
