In case you were wondering...

This blog exists to encourage all those who have ever wanted--and needed!--a tiny getaway close to home. A workshop, playhouse, garden shed, sanctuary, mini-greenhouse, studio, home office; whatever it is you need, it IS doable, with some sacrifice, imagination, and compromise.

It helps if you're handy, too.

comfy chair


comfy chair, originally uploaded by Cathy (Kate) Johnson.

It followed me home, can I keep it??

OK, I'm not a pink flowered type. But I've been visiting this thing for months now...when we got the chair for the cabin I thought MAN, if that one just weren't FLOWERED. It's small (for an upholstered chair), it's comfortable, it's....flowered.

But the camp chairs in the shed were getting increasingly uncomfortable, and I thought I'd go visit again. J. said "visit, nothing, let's go BUY it." So we did.

Asked Pat at Olde Towne Mall how much...she gave it to me for TEN DOLLARS. Said she needed the room!

AND we found the flowers are just a slipcover. Of course underneath is a kind of white slubby silky stuff, also not me, but hey...

One thing I really like is that it swivels--I can see the birds out the back, the squirrels out the front, then check who's at the door...wheeee!

  3. It looks great where it's at (except for clashing with the floor a bit). Ten dollars! You got the bargain of the year I think.

  4. It's going to clash when I put the winter rug in there, too! But yeah, $10!! I was SOOOO happy. It's in very good shape, too.

  7. Yep, love that swivel, Pam! Let me get some cool photos of the birds at the feeder yesterday! And Rita, I used to be able to make slipcovers, but that was long, long ago...I could use that one as a pattern, though! Meanwhile, as J. says, I can just throw something over it if it bugs me!
