Corner Creations

In one corner of my room, there is something sadly missing. I sit on my bed and stare into that one lonely corner every night before I go to bed. Right now my laundry basket lives there, and a solitary painting hangs on the wall, but still, something just doesn’t feel right.

The corner is next to the furnace, and the window that opens up onto the fire escape, so I figured putting something obstructive there — like a bookshelf or my desk — would probably be out of the question. I was at a loss, and so the corner has been left untouched for months now.

Then one day, while walking home, I happened to peer into the window of Pier 1 and see this beauty. The flame chair (what a name!). Of course! A reading chair all my own. Small, colorful, perfect to put near the window. And so my lonely corner will be turned into a sunlit reading nook. It doesn’t get much better than that!
