Joni over at Cote de Texas did an extensive post about this subject, but when an advert from Restoration Hardware appeared in my in-box, I took a few minutes to really look at their new deconstructed collection and had to weigh in with some thoughts. This image makes my skin itch for any number of reasons… First, the deconstructed look is a bit unfinished and informal for a room that seeming appears to be formal. Then there are the damn books with their white covers. Clearly, if you actually use your books, then you don’t cover them in white paper, just for looks. This is a previous Restoration Hardware offering, which I hated. Here. Itchy. These pieces make my skin itchy because the fabrics look itchy and scratchy. All of that burlap can’t be too comfortable to sit on. In a short skirt. In the summer. And doesn’t burlap smell funny?Restoration Hardware is putting a lot of money and effort to PR this look, and like their airplane wing furniture, I think that the market for this is very small. Probably much smaller than in my Venn diagram indicates. Much much smaller. Here’s my imaginary conversation: Meg: Come on in and have a seat. I just bought this great chair from Restoration Hardware. It’s from their latest collection. Meg’s friend: Oh, thank you very much. {and to herself: How sad that Meg could only afford to buy the chair, but that she couldn’t afford to have it upholstered. Ouch, this damn chair poked me with a nail.} It’s a perfectly lovely chair, dear. I would also worry about snagging my clothes and my skin on the exposed tacks and the wood looks like it’s pretty rough. I can sort of understand the faux French- and English-style deconstructed chairs, but this is just all kinds of wrong. And ugly. And expensive. Thoughts?
Today we went to the History Museum to see an exhibition about empire and biedermeyer furniture. I was pleasantly surprised about how nice it was. Everything w as nicely displayed, with a lot of info about the pieces, and the exhibits themselves were amazing. This is one of the displays. Quite a lot of browns in it :) ODC: brown
