Empty, Ugly AND Full Of Life? No.

"an eclectic collection of Mid century modern iconic chairs bring this dining room to life" 

Damask & Dentelle.

It really doesn't. At all. I am really concerned about the author's perception of what 'life' in a room is.

I don't like it. I mean I love the light fixture, but it is too low and too small for the room; The mirror is nice but seems... almost lonely; The fireplace is too small for the wall; The grey too dark for the floor and furniture; The chairs too modern (I understand they are meant to stand out in contrast to the room but they are the wrong style) and are too colourful; The standing lamp is alone and the wrong style; The dresser/cupboard thing is also the wrong style (does tie in with the chairs quite nicely though).

In short, the room looks empty and  out of proportion. There is no balance or harmony, and the different styles have no connection with one another.

And that damn ceiling light is too low and too small.

Grass in the House

Every week, Desire To Inspire has this pets on furniture thing. Cute, sure... this week a wonderful reader submitted this charming image of her dog (no, I am not going to rip on her dog):

  

Any guesses as to what the chair is covered with?

Grass. Faux grass to be exact.

WHAT THE FUCK??

This is seriously weird. Imagine how uncomfortable it would feel. That, and is the colour of a dying lawn.

Not what I'd call an attractive design statement. I wonder if she mows it??
