I thought it might be fun to find those furniture pieces I think have the most promising ‘curl up’ qualities. Sometimes, the best seats in the house are inside, while others encourage reclining in the great outdoors, like the two built-in benches below.

I could kick off my shoes and relax at Nanci Closson's Tres Casitas rental in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. |
While metal seating may not sound comfy, don't be fooled. Give it some pillows and all the elements are there to nod off before finishing 'Chapter One.'

restful greeting in the courtyard, while
the metal army cot (above) turns on
the charm with vintage pillows.

The French always seem to draw my gaze to their great furnishings. Take the Louis XVI-period day bed (below left) or the sweet garden chair (below right) upholstered in chenille (nifty little idea!). They both are so casually welcoming.
But, if I need to pick a seat to read the next two Ernest Hemmingway novels on my list, A Moveable Feast and The Garden of Eden, then I might just pick this dark, rich leather mammoth to hold me. It has Hemmingway written all over it!

| Doesn't this handsome temptation just call out for a cigar and brandy? Maybe that's why it is called a 'Smoke Chair.' |

I love this chair! So cozy!! One day I want to have a formal library and this would go perfectly in it. And I am also in love with chaise lounges, their "curve appeal" is perfect for my long torso.
