"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity, devoid of troubling or depressing subject-matter, an art which might be for every mental worker, be he businessman or writer, like an appeasing influence, like a mental soother, something like a good armchair in which to rest from physical fatigue."
-Henri Matisse
When I see an empty chair, I also see an invitation: Come sit with me for awhile it says...
And when I take the time to accept the invitation, I am soothed and cultivate rest... and I begin to keep company with the art of balance and inspiration...
Where have you found chairs that welcome you?
I hope this weekend you find empty chairs and accept their sweet invitations...

I sit in my husbands red leather recliner. I put my head back, feet up and I get so relaxed that I'm asleep in minutes.
Karen, I thank you for reminding me that empty chairs are open invitations to rest. I often tend to pass by then and seldom give them another look. I do have to say your photograph with this gorgeous chair, is very inviting indeed. Thank you

Love this post and love chairs. Now when I look at them I will think a little differently about them. Have a great day.

I LOVE chairs, they are my friends, I like them all and am the customer who sits in them all. I want my friends to be able to chose their pleasure from the variety. I have always known a wingback waits for me in your home! Love to you.
