Resolution #2 Fix up the Cozy Corner

There's a corner of my house that is everyone's favorite: the big chair in the bedroom.

• It's got a table and a lamp by it, so it's good for reading
• It's near the TV, so it's good for movies
• It's near the fireplace, so it's warm and toasty
• It's got an ottoman in front of it, so it's good for relaxing or the occasional game of chess or Risk

Everyone loves that chair -- including Jasper who often spends the night in it. I have to admit, though, that with so much love and use, the cozy corner is looking a little ratty and worse for the wear. The cushions are smooshed, the slipcover is both dirty and torn, and someone appears to have created a work of marker art on the ottoman.

I've decided it's time for a new chair and have picked out the PB Comfort Armchair from Pottery Barn because it's got all the attributes that are important to me:

• It's slipcovered so I can keep it clean
• It's got a 42" deep seat so it will be comfortable for at least two Furbers at once. JP and Katie like to sit together in the chair right before Katie's bedtime, so this is a very important consideration.
• It's built entirely of sustainable components
• It's built to last with a kiln-dried hardwood frame so it won't squeak, sinuous springs, and a tripled padded frame and cushions that will stay cushy for a long time

Our new chair will be delivered next week, and the cozy corner will once again be the comfiest spot in the house. Sorry, Jasper. Back to the floor for you.
