Yes, my parents also got rid of their Hans Wegner folding rope chair. Believe me, I feel your pain. Brutal.

Really, all I'm thinking about is the potential for washing my 'unmentionables' in my salad spinner...

Years ago, someone broke into my grandparents' house in Queens while they were home. When the intruder saw that people were there, he took off. My father decided that they should have some sort of protection, so he brought them a sawed-off shotgun. When he presented it to them, my grandfather waved him off and told him 'no' and walked away.

My grandmother said, "Show me how to use it."

Um, yeah, Suzy & Monica? Welcome to NYC.

I would love for the people who are actually voting for this one to chime in here. This one is just beyond me. drq, I was thinking the same thing.

I've been trying to be very polite and diplomatic about this whole process, but this one? It's a real disappointment that this contest, which seemed to be such a big deal for the AT faithful, has questionable entries like this making it so far.

Inger, your home is lovely. A crowning achievement in a COLOR contest, it is not.

Honestly, I think the question is not what criteria the judges used when narrowing the categories from 40 to 16, but from narrowing the categories from 78 to 16. My hope is that in the future, the East is split up the way the West is. There were twice as many featured entries in the East as there were in any other region.

Personally, it's not so much of a lack of love toward neutrals. I think some of the neutrals and more subtle entries are done exceptionally well. The choices that surprise me are ones that are beautiful, but color is not the most compelling feature of the design. Though, no matter what, when you have a group of individuals who are bringing their own style, taste and preferences to judging something so subjective, controversy will be sparked.

Oh, and just because I'm posting this here does not, in any way, mean that I disagree with either of the options above, this just happens to be where this discussion is happening.

These days I like a combination of rustic and modern... it changes though.

I just think they're kind of silly, though I could see the appeal for kids.

I know where I'm going if the Republicans win...

I really like the school desks as well. Very cool style. Nice ingenuity.
