My Favorite Chair

I'd like to tell you about my favorite chair. My yellow chair. My homework chair. This chair is amazing!

Over Easter break last spring, I went to my great aunt's house to look for some furniture that I could put in my new apartment at school. I found this one chair in the back room and instantly began imagining what I could do with it. So I took it home and put it in the basement for a few months. When summer rolled around, I told my mom that I wanted to reupholster the chair. It was a dirty, peachy color with white flowers on it. I wish I had a picture of what it looked like originally. The cushions were sagging and you could tell it was an old worn-down chair. So my mom and I took the chair to a local reupholster shop and picked out the fabric that would go with the color scheme for my room.

After about a month and a half, I came home from work one day and there was my chair, sitting in the middle of the living room! I was so excited I screamed! The chair was covered in the yellow fabric I had picked out and had been re-stuffed and fixed-up.

I love this chair! When I sit in it, the back of the chair fits perfectly to my back. The back almost wraps around me completely. The cushions are not too soft, but not too hard. I can easily sit in it and do my homework. On rainy days I wrap up in a blanket and read for my classes. Or just like tonight, I sit in my chair and write my blog. This chair is not just my favorite chair, but it is also a piece of my family and my history. My mom is bringing my great aunt down to visit in the next few weeks and I hope she loves my chair as much as I do. I plan on keeping this chair forever and making it a part of my future. Maybe one day, my great niece will find it and make it her own favorite chair.
