What with the holidays and all, I haven’t been acquiring tiki stuff for myself, as there are other, non-tiki-obsessed people out there who need presents. But I did make one excellent, 100% free acquisition, something I’ve wanted for some time.
That’s right: I got a sidewalk papasan.
In my book, these big round bamboo chairs are the epitome of comfort and a must-have for any tiki bar/office. And someone had thrown out this gorgeous specimen! Admittedly, we need to get a cushion for it, but for now some pillows and a blanket have transformed it into a Christmas Papasan and a cozy fireside perch for our cat Tesla.
Tesla has fallen out of the papasan at least once, which caused a temporary rift between the two, but they seem to be friends now.
I’m sure I’ll be back after Christmas with tiki presents to report. In the meantime, happy holidays!
My grandmother used to have a big papasan in her living room. I thought it was awesome when I was eight. Matter of fact, I still think it was awesome.
That’s one happy kitty.
