Metamorphosis!

Remember Ugly Chair?

That tag you see is a maker's sticker on the bottom of Pretty Chair. Turns out, Pretty Chair was made by Tell City Chairs in Indiana. American made, folks!

Goose, of course, supervised:

Don't be fooled into thinking that Pretty Chair is all beauty and no substance. Not only is she holding me and my considerable ass as I type this, but she is also holding Lucy, who is sleeping on a pillow on my lap.

And there you have it. Buh-bye, Ugly Chair! Hello, Pretty Chair!
