Twixlen's Profile

Lovely! The use of color and pattern is *perfect* - enough color to define, just enough pattern and texture for contrast.

I can't imagine how difficult it would be to edit down to that scale of space, even to find things that would be interesting and not overwhelming.

Very well done!

Hey Incubus ---

It's interesting that the Valerie is at a car dealership --- the closest I could find here was in Cincinatti, and was part of a museum installation. Go figure.

Sadly, I can believe that the Todd Oldham line isn't doing well @ LaZboy. None of the stores in Columbus were showcasing the line in any way (and this is early this year!), and the stuff they had on the floor seemed to have really strange fabric choices, and wasn't displayed with the same care shown to the rest of the LB line.

I think in the beginning, LB was really pushing and advertising the TO line, but I am just realizing that I haven't seen any of those commercials in some time.

I think the IDEA behind the line was fantastic, and there are some great pieces (I LOVE my sectional - sitting on it right now!), but the execution wasn't great. They needed to do more to bridge the gap between the average LB customer looking for baked potato sofas and those of us looking for something with a little more style. And, the TO stuff is much more expensive than the LB stuff... and they aren't giving folks a reason why.

Anyway... thus ends my dissertation.
