Damask Unmasked
I see the Times picked up on the damask trend - or, as I like to call it, "Mmmm, need more of that stat." Loyal loyalists know I've been cooling my heels on the "Ottoman?! Uttaman!" I picked up in Keenesburg, CO this past winter - and loving every minute of it. If I had my way, I would get a full-body damask tat so that I might revel in its beauty forevermore. Apparently, I don't have my way. Something about societal norms? Eff.
Anys. Here's a $130 chair from IKEA I would think about buying if there was an IKEA in Colorado.
Not crazed about the pedestal base/lack of arms in a living room setting, but I think they would rule as dining room chairs around a big fat white laquered table. Mod + traditional + cheap = just like I likey like. In fact, I will call it Motrache (pr: "Mo trashy!") and launch a style revolution. You heard it here first.
As for the black and white thing, I'm feeling it more and more as of late. I'm taking an incredible interior design class here - at one of the top schools in the country, apparently, for sustainable/green design - and my project will involve redoing my bedroom. All my big wooden furniture is just much for the space I'm in now, and I'm deathly sick of the brown/white/baby blue/red thing I've been living with since 2004:
Let's put it this way. When I painted that room, it was to the sweet sounds of the Black Eyed Peas. Back before Fergie wet herself:
So I'm thinking of getting into black and white but am also really, really feeling kelly green and white these days. Kind of 80's Benetton shirt style. Maybe toss in some really rich purple. Which, come to think of it, were totally my riding colors back in the Jr. High horse-showing days - plus some hot pink accents. Natch.
Sprinkle on a fine layer of manure and haydust, and I think I've found the answer to my design connundrum. Still not sure what to do with Fergie, though.
