doh, you stumbled, or it tripped you to get some attention?

Lollol!

Where is it? Was it flagged?

Ok. The fire siren went off, its been bushfire weather here today, think they might have gone out to Churchill (Vic). That's all coal mines and power stations out there.

Plus a Uni she might go to.

Lol, wonder if they move when you're not looking.

I expect pantyhose would get snagged on them.

Hello Chook X

Coming up for air from design design and thought I'd head on over to say hello... see what you're up to... : ))

hi love, great to hear from you, i have been on holiday on and off, poor health at present. throw me an email, im on the library computer, no address book. love chook xo

well Doh, in Vic it is Summersomething week, maybe its about that assorted topic ;]

Love those pink books. Here is an awful chair, encountered at a hotel. Instant sciatica. Looks interesting though.

And one I have always wanted... so elegant and very comfortable.

Is it just me.....?

I find the seats of chairs too deep. If I sit with my feet flat on the floor and the bend of my knees comfortably resting, my back rarely touches the back of the chair. I require several cushions behind me to render the seat comfortable.

Maybe I have short femurs...... but I don't look out of proportion.... Anyone else out there??

I often put my feet on my handbag. ... or put it behind my back. Depends on the chair. Now my daughter has presented me with a blow-up foot cushion that solves the problem. As long as it is one or the other problems that is. If the chair is both too high and too deep the handbag goes behind me and the foot cushion stays on the floor.

And I am not tall, my kids call me shorty.

I had a sneaking suspicion that you might not be tall, janbhan!! Your description of the dilemma is good.

I'm not tall.... but I'm not short either. About 162cm. But I am noticing that everyone else seems to be getting taller.

Trying to translate that into inches. ... I am 5.2" but may have shrunk a bit. But my kids and my grandchildren are tall, I sometimes feel I am surrounded by giraffes. My daughter's kitchen has cupboards set too high for me to reach the top shelves. Finally I bought a little folding step stool!

I will be leaving Houzz and closing my account soon. Please feel free to continue this thread. I won't be able to press thank you, but consider yourselves thanked for participating in the future.

Chook ,

that's very sad to hear but I want to thank you too for your support!! and you know where to go for all things interiors. Hope you'll keep in touch Xxx

Yes AJ, of course. Guess what, he finally agreed today to let me rent a storage unit for all her Venetian Ball stuff at the end of my bed, and her adult homewares and furniture in my dining room. I will be finally able to take those photos of the bedroom!

Look forward to seeing some pics.. : ))

Will do. Now just have to get the stuff into storage and find somewhere for a lot of tutus as well!

Hey janbhan, guess what? You are definitely within the bounds of "Short". I have met people who are 5'2". When I was 18 I was 5'5" about 164 cm (ish), now I'm 161.5cm. That shrinkage is due to poor posture though, not Osteoporosis or anything horrible. In fact I had a bone density scan recently and had surprisingly good bones. Surprising due to lack of weight bearing exercise, lack of Vitamin D and lack of Calcium in my diet. (Man, there's a lot of ways I could help myself... Oh well!)

No, in my case the shrinkage is mostly due to spine arthritis which has attacked the discs. And my feet. I still stand pretty straight considering I am 72. Because of my feet I find it painful to walk much. I do weights and yoga instead. Miss my walks though. The calcium and bone density are excellent. 5'2" is average in India, though North Indians tend to be a lot taller for some reason. My daughter is 5''7", and GD is 5'8" and still growing. Her grandparents are both tall. My son has taken after his father, average height, but I wouldn't mind betting his kids would be tall if he had any with his partner. She's another long Un!

Here's a new one. Lol !

That's definitely one I'd class as a club chair.

Around here, there are constantly sofas and chairs put out on the kerb. They sit there for weeks. I often wonder what out-of-towners think. I also have played with the idea of doing a blog or starting facebook page that features photos of all these discards. Maybe posing a mannequin on them or something... Perhaps invite random strangers to sit and pretend they're having a cuppa.

It's probably already been done. All "my ideas" usually have been. Lol. :P

I would enjoy that on Houzz.

Bring on the random roadside couches...... I love it!

I tried to put just a picture of the basketall one. But I don't hold my mouth right because I failed (yet again) to paste a picture to Houzz. Why????

5 Contemporary Designs...

& my 1st impressions:

1. I'll stick with a traditional papasan, thanks. Less likely to get poked where it hurts.

2. Wishing had pool noodles right now. Or a life sized Gumby.

3. Oh that looks just like my computer chair! Sans the cage. Maybe I need that part so the "chair" stops mysteriously rolling into other rooms.

4. Whaaaat? *reads article's description* Ohhh!

5. No.

I agree, absolutely no. Too star trek for me.

Nothing wrong with Star Trek!

Now this...

I'm gobsmacked. ;) Looks like it could be a foldout bed also.

More a "couch " than a chair, but I couldn't resist.
