The world of design is a creative and inventive one! To fret over minor details of authenticity takes the joy out of living!

I love that on gossip girl one of the sets has a an Eames lounge with Missoni fabric. Eames never intended this or collaborated with it but yet, no one seems to be bothered because well.. its Eames AND Missoni. There's also great potential that its never questioned either because of the fact. On the same set there is also a piece of knockoff artwork that is a knockoff of Prada. Best!

As an interior architect myself, you have to learn to not give a damn what any of those other pretentious lovelies out there think because well.. they're irrelevant to your happiness.

Here in Chicago there are elegant MVDR buildings AAAAAND there are a lot of "knock off" MVDR buildings... the people who can afford to live in the "authentic" ones vs "knockoffs"... i'm sure their quality of living is.. the same.

Enjoy your Eames, where ever it came from, and if you have extra cash to burn, buy a second!

Thank you EVERYONE for their commentary! I love it! Especially controversy! Tom Ford, William Sofield, Joseph Dirand, Alex McQueen( God rest his soul) and even Douglas Little stand as huge inspirations to me.... I have a "blog" more like an online library of my inspiration that I would love to share... Eighteeneightytwo.blogspot.com

Personally- I LOVE black and love to live in it- unfortunately people think its depressing!! How sad!!! I don't think there are rooms that are depressing- just depressed people!!!!! I think there is a time and place for the white and bright- but a reprive of hush and wonder is also necessary and I look for that in my home. A lot of my purchases have been dumpster dives- Ikea runs- ebay treasures- and heirlooms- along with a few crazy splurges!

Again thank you for all the love!!! I've enjoyed it!!

Elegance is refusal.
