It’s time to fish or cut bate, but LORDie – there is nothing worse than sitting in an uncomfortable chair. So I am in the uncomfortable position of making a decision without first taking a seat.

Noir Penelope Chair $1260.
I’ve looked at structured chairs, upholstered chairs, slipcovered, wood framed, rattan – with cushions and without, and I feel no closer to my decision. But before this post is through, decide is exactly what I must do, or we will be shooting a space with nary a chair in site. A tough sell for a living you, you could agree.

Selma Justina Blakeney Eden Occasional Chair $675.
On the one hand I really want a chair I can sink into and read a book, cozy in the corner, side table to hold my tea, standing lamp to shine a light on the page (yes, I still read a book with paper pages – though I have a Kindle too).

Candelabra Home Loom Club Chair – Platinum $825.
The other hand is waving wildly in the air, awaiting the opportunity to say – NO – go architectural, go sculptural – make statement – do it for the photo. How very impractical. How very shortsighted. It comes down to “cool” or “comfy”.

Noir Gigi Chair $828.
Can you guess which one I went with?

Serafi Accent Chair Gray Linen $999.
