À l’aise sur ma chaise

The other day while shopping with Oreggano I found a piece of furniture that really caught my eye. As we continued to shop, I found it again, in the clearance section. The price was dropped dramatically due to the fact that it was a floor model and missing one button top. A salesman approached, dropped the price even more, and dropped $200 for a new chaise lounge the size of a full-size bed.

“I have no idea where I’ll put this,” I told Oreggano. “Back bedroom,” she suggested. “Can’t do it, my guests love that bed,” I replied. “Downstairs?” she asked. “Maybe, if it fits, but that bed is also a guest favorite,” I told her. “Switch it out with your red couch,” she suggested. “That has also been a guest favorite,” I advised. “Well if it doesn’t work out, I’ll buy it and you can sleep on it at my house,” she said.

We got it to my house, carried it in, and placed it in the front room in between the red sofa and the matching CO chair. It has been there ever since.

I decided to try sleeping on it, since it may be replacing my bed downstairs, and found it quite comfortable. So comfortable, in fact, that five days later it is still there and I have slept there every night. Plus, when I’m not sleeping, I find myself relaxing on it for hours – à l’aise sur ma chaise. That’s French for ‘at ease on my chaise.’

So at ease, I’m afraid I need to move it or sell it. I’m a girl who likes going places and with this chaise in my front room, I’m going nowhere.
