Has Anyone Seen My Wagon Wheel?
Sometimes I’m left just scratching my head, wondering why and how anyone could come up with something that’s so clearly wrong. Those giant, puckered pads on cheap microfiber sofas come immediately to mind. (Gee, why don’t we see those at B&B Italia?)
Anyway, here is another case in point. It’s Bristol & Bath’s barrel vanity. “Make the bath vineyard chic,” they say. This barrel sink is part of their Second Chance collection. I think they should try again. As they say, “Third time lucky!” I wonder what the toilet looks like (see headline).
Chair of the Day
I submit the Happy Leaf Chair as today’s Chair of the Day. This brightly painted chair is a one-of-a-kind thing from Etsy artist Kay Latham. This would look cute in a child’s room or in a kitchen. Remember, if you’re artistically inclined you could make one yourself using your own design. If you’re not, or are like me and wake up behind schedule, why not buy this? It’s $250 and you can find it here.
UPDATE: File this under “DUH“. What was I thinking yesterday when I completely forgot about Bauhaus Week of Chairs? I’ll blame it on the hip-recovery, not me aging (egads!).
Chair of the Day: Droog Rag Chair
I’m going on vacation tomorrow, so I’ve been in a silly mood all week. I’m getting my mind into beach mode. Hence most of the chairs this week (except yesterday’s – I like that).
The folks at Droog designed this Rag Chair, which is layered from 15 bags of rags. The description at Greener Grass Design says: It arrives ready made, but the user has the option to recycle their own discarded clothes to be included in the design. Each piece is unique, but it can also become a treasured chest of memories.”
Now the last part is actually kind of nice. I could turn all of my son’s baby clothes into a chair and then his kids could sit on it one day! Omygod, someone give me a hankie, quick! Sorry, I was overwhelmed with emotion there for a moment. It is kind of a sweet idea. But not for $3,325! Come on now. That’s just preying on the small segment of green-minded people who are stupid. Shame.
Plus, as my mother would say, “Jennifer ,you could make that yourself!” And she’d be right! See, when I was a kid my mother decided that if you could make something yourself, you weren’t allowed to buy it. Even if we both knew it would never be made – whatever “it” was. So I’m starting a new Label today called, “You could make that yourself.” And the Rag Chair is the first to wear it. Congratulations.
Can’t you tell I need a vacation?
