Hi Jean–thanks for the nice words! It seems we have very similar tastes in “furniture.” We’d be great advertising for Ikea–”those who choose only one piece of furniture, choose the Poang.” I’ll have to hunt down that book by Callenbach; it sounds like an interesting read!

Happy Thanksgiving! Just checking in and enjoying your recent posts. It’s so refreshing to read of experiences where one enjoys having just “enough” and not focusing on continual consumption.

Poang chairs rule! The one “furniture” item that I also would keep. Mattress on floor (albeit, carpeted) – check! I’m back and forth on whether or not I’ll be relocating in the foreseeable future. If I do, it’s great to know that I can and will travel light.

Take care, Jean

ps: Regarding the couch question, Back in the 1990′s I read a book by Ernest Callenbach where he wrote in detail about the impractical function of a couch. The alternative seating you and your husband chose is the very same I had planned for when relocating
