Not sure what to say any more in reference to articles lately about RH's visionary new look. What's so vision forward about bland furniture made in a mass produced factory passed off as a found object or vintage find? Pictures do make all this stuff look pretty but has anyone praising this junk actually held it. Looked at it. Questioned it's craftsmanship? It's all made over seas for nickels on the dollar. Imported into the country just like any retail dollar store and then marked up. It's trendy and often silly stuff. More importantly the scale of most of the stuff is larger than most peoples homes. In the end it's just a retail store in a retail mall with retail associates making 8 bucks an hour.

In my town I know I can go to a variety of locally owned stores and get the same furniture and accessories. I can also go to antique malls and flea markets to finds real rare finds.

Think out of the shipping container folks. Buy local or vintage. Buy art from a local painter/photographer. Buy from Room and Board where you know where the furniture is made.
