Hot Chair Addiction

If you’re one of us who just can’t get enough chairs, take comfort, you’re not alone. Every time I get a new batch of upholstery students, one or two confesses during the first class, that he or she has a chair problem. You know what they say, admission is the first step to recovery.

Ha! Get it? Recovery, as in reupholstery.

It’s like Group Therapy, we all admit why we love chairs so much, how we can’t stop buying them and how we occasionally get control of the addiction, rid ourselves of our stash, but eventually start up again.

What it boils down to is that we all feel like chairs are individual works of art, like they have their own personality or soul. It borders on lunacy.

Auctions are dangerous, antique malls can be scary and you practically have to put me in a straight jacket at estate sales.

When you combine the chair buying addiction with the other new addiction, Pinterest, I’m a complete goner. At least on Pinterest I can hoard my chairs over on my Chair Obsession board without spending a dime.
