I’m in the market for a new recliner. I want to get one that will match my sofa, but that’s kind of a tall order since my sofa was custom-made and I don’t think the maker still carries that design. Of course, they prob’ly still carry the same fabric, and that’s the important part.

I might also get a matching armchair and completely rearrange my living room.

I got rid of the orange chair because it was ugly, had a broken leg, and no one ever sat in it. Now I’m planning to get rid of my brown vinyl recliner because it’s just ugly. It’s the only piece of furniture I own that I didn’t choose and purchase myself, so it needs to go. It’s an independence thing.

Anyway, I mentioned that no one ever sat in the ugly orange chair. That’s not completely the chair’s fault; it really had to do with the placement of the chair in my apartment. It was on the opposite wall from all the other seating, and no one likes to be isolated like that in a living room. If they want to be isolated, they go pee. So I’ve decided that I need to move my CD/DVD storage unit into the space where the ugly orange chair used to be, and then I’ll have the wall perpendicular to the sofa available for a chair and a recliner. Then I’ll be using adjacent walls for seating instead of opposite walls, and that’s the way it should be.

Of course, this is a really boring topic except to me. But trust me, my friends will appreciate all of the thought that went into it when they come over to my apartment and sit.
