No, No, No.

And this dresser made the cut?

Sorry, but sticking ugly Liberty fabrics on an Ikea dresser should not be a published design statement. This should not be encouraged and should come with “Do not try this at home” warning.

ENOUGH.. ONE MORE CHAIR IN TRELLIS AND I WILL….

……GO CRAZY.

I think I have had enough of chairs wearing trellis for the time being, regardless of the color. I know it is a trend, but does trend mean to keep using a certain fabric until every surface is covered with it ? Browsing around I see that anyone that wants to appear “trendy” and with good taste slaps a chair or a cushion with a yard of trellis and that’s it, eureka, they found the key to style. Do we need to conform to a trend to be “stylish” ?
