I'm thinking about getting a Barcelona chair in ivory. Anyone have any experience with how it will hold up? It certainly won't be an every day chair becuase I'll be sitting on the couch mostly, but it will certainly get some use. I just don't want to end up with it being filthy at the end of 6 months and wishing I had gone with black. Thanks!

I just bought my first apartment and am starting from scratch with decorating -- really from scratch, as in I have no furniture, accessories, carpets, linens, etc. Nothin. Nada. I love my new beautiful, sunny, 600 sq. foot apartment, but I have no idea where to begin! I'm so excited by the prospect of making this place my very own, but it is also incredibly daunting to have nothing to decorate around yet. I'm so afraid of making a mistake and so nervous trusting my own judgment. I would love this book because I think the only way to discover what you really like is to just look at a lot of different design ideas and see how you react to them. I've been doing that with magazines, blogs (this one in particular!) and by browsing and window shopping at countless stores. Please give me this great tool -- I need the help!
And I'm good at short and pithy. And with deadlines.
