Out with the old, in with the new (chair)

It always amazes me what can fit in my new beetle. I mentioned this morning that it would be nice to get an accent chair that can form a conversation nook with the futon. Larry agreed! and thought it would be nice to have it portable enough to place in front of the TV. Good-bye butterfly chairs!


We checked out Consignment Classics in the Mission Hills/Middletown area. It’s a huge space with some nice quality furniture. Many larger sofas where as we were looking for a smaller chair. We broke up our search with lunch at Cafe India. It was a wonderful vegetarian (mostly vegan) buffet which reminded me why we don’t go to buffets (if the food’s too good, you eat toooo much!)


We then went to Karen’s Consignment Gallery in Point Loma which my friend Norm! recommended as better. It had a nice eclectic selection at our Ikea budget price. We chose an ultra-suede piece that holds up nice against anything the cats may send it’s way (claw marks don’t show). The gentlemen at the store carried it out and set it perfectly into the new beetle hatchback. In the condo, Percy and Wooster give it a big paw’s up!
