Furniture and drapes
Nov. 8th, 2025 09:00 pmR. and I went to Crate and Barrel, Joss & Main, Arhaus and West Elm to sit in a ton of upholstered dining armchairs in hopes of finding anything at all to refer my sister to for her future dining chair choices. We didn’t do great. We were looking for a fully upholstered low-arm curved / barrel back hip hugger dining chair. Mostly, the radius on the curves was too tight. A lot didn’t have a low-arm. Some were inadequately padded. We did find

Which isn’t several of the criteria but is extremely comfortable. Comfortable enough to rethink the Stressless dining chair with the extremely long lead time. Altho armchair != plus size friendly in general, so I’m not sure. I’ll have to figure this out before I order anything.
I also showed R. the various drapes option for the window in reception. For some reason, I had it in my mind that that window was not that important in terms of sunlight coming in, and he was clinging to it by his fingernails in desperation and petrified at the idea of me closing tapestry drapes over it. What. No! When is sunlight even going to be coming in through there at an angle that I care about? I would only close the drapes at night anyway. Whatever. He likes the Alex Peyrotte hens and turkeys panels that I found. Weirdly. Front to back the bar / reception / living room in the future house is actually less deep than our current front to back living room. By like three feet.
Anyway.
I walked with M.
I fed A. R. and I had dinner at Burtons and then went to Craft Beer Cellar and ordered the Beer Advent box and bought a bunch of whisky and beer. Fun!
