We're sure we wouldn't hang out there for extended periods, but it would be a nice perch for dressing, sitting for a bit - and yes - tossing a garment or two when we're in too big a rush to put things away properly! Here are a few we would consider if we had the space:
• 1 Cleo Chair at Anthropologie, $998 • 2 the new Mina Chair at Room and Board, $799 • 3 Marcel Armchair currently on sale at Pottery Barn, $599 - $799 • 4 the Tutumu by Bonaldo is a compact chair suitable for the bedroom and rolls out into a sleeping mat for a house guest • 5 IKEA's Stockholm easy chair, $299Winston Churchill was once asked “Mr. Churchill, to what do you attribute your success in life?”Never stand up when you can sit down.
