Late Night on the Loading Dock: Classic Upholstered Chair Finds a New Home

An end of summer late night treasure from the loading dock passed through my world,
way back in early September.
Almost unbelievably it was:
pet hair free,
stain free,
rip free,
with legs intact,
and no suspicious smells.
In addition it had a lovely shape and some retro-cool upholstery.
Do you see the depth of that seat??

Hello gorgeous!
My own apartment is on the full side, but I couldn't let this go, so I texted a nearby friend who already owns a similarly shaped chair if he was interested in this piece, and interested in picking it up...in about... right now...yes I know it is after 10:30pm......but......

Yes, RIGHT NOW.

Who doesn't love slightly demanding late night texts offering free furniture?

He was game for the adventure, drove a few blocks over, and immediately said yes upon seeing the piece.  Being, among other things, an accomplished musician and regular host to jam sessions, he is always looking for comfortable seating.  He said this little beauty was going in front of the piano, and here she is.

How about a lovely duet?
So now this lovely little chair (aka Chairie amour) lives in a gracious rowhouse, ready for a jam session, having been saved from an uncertain fate after being left on the loading dock.

We make such beautiful music together

I think the view out this window is far better than any view from inside a landfill.

Happy freestyling.
