Agreed. My back hurts just looking at that.

Um, when did those become Southwest states?

Heh. It's true - Volvoguy didn't mention he was associated with Ford!

Yeah, vaguely shady. But not nearly half as shady as when AT posted those ... sponsored posts! (You folks still doing that?)

Given how bad Rashid's designs normally are, I think this one should be encouraged.

Looks like fun. I do hope they are keeping enough money aside to pay for their kids' therapy in ten or forty years.

Beautiful place. But with all due respect, it sure looks to me like they have an awful lot of STUFF - as well as an awful lot of SPACE to keep all that STUFF in.

Flopsy and Mopsy! How could they be sweeter?
And tiny little Cottontail - and Peter!

(But Chastity? Where'd *that* come from, Peter the post-writer?)

No, Faith, you really liked what the artist had to say about HER design. Yeesh. I don't really mind the editorial "we," but really! Katrine is one person, and female.

What makes you say this "sister publication" is "aimed at women"? Is that in their editorial statement?

Hmm ... where exactly in Montreal is this place? I can't figure it out from their web site and would like to visit!

Espresso cups are great for serving desserts, like a really rich chocolate mousse with a butter cookie perched on the saucer.

Margarita & martini glasses can also be great for desserts.

(Sorry to play devil's advocate.)

Um, that's like saying, yeah, I know hitting people is wrong, but I only do it once a week!

Not convinced. Please stop.

Oh, and [subliminal message] buy tons more things from Ikea [/end subliminal message] happy last day of April!

Personally I only use original Wagenfelds from 1938:

Well, I like beauty, conceptual or otherwise. It's the first refuge of a scrupulous aesthete.


Apartment Therapy New York | Hot or Not? Aalto Doorstop by Tobias Wong

Heh. I think it's very gorgeous.

I wouldn't pay that price for it - I mean, I can't imagine paying any money for a doorstop, what with all these heavy books lying around here - but the price and the piece make more sense if you think of it in relation to Bruce Nauman or Rachel Whiteread's cast concrete works.

Seems silly to call it a doorstop.
