Situation: I am sitting on middle cushion of the couch and the cabinet is on my left side.
Alternative situations: Sitting in the middle of the sofa, I look past the reading nook with the book shelf and desk and see a big ugly gray spot on the wall where a television might one day hang. I am reading a book while seated on the couch to the right side of the cabinet.
Question: Is the amount of chairs in front of me odd or even?
