I love love love the table. The door {at least thats what I think it is!} on the wall is magnificent. And of course the glass door cabinets.

Some things that have caught my lately for a badddd reason:

Now this dresser might just be bad to me. I have always lived in AZ and have grown to dis-like the look of Southwestern anything, so to me, this is no good. Especially because this is what it looked like before, and I think I actually would have liked it then:
To finish it off, this bad boy. The fact that this person painted the already beautiful wood, and then didn't even paint the whole thing, just the drawers, baffles me. I am not against painting any and all wood pieces, but when the wood looks to be in good enough condition and its a beautiful color already, why change it?! You agree, or no?

That dresser with the funky painted designs is just odd. It's like Southwest meets Retro meets Vintage. Just doesn't really 'add up'...
ReplyDeleteI really like the rustic feel to the table in the first picture. It's totally my style. And you're right, that yellow door is beautiful, but not if your house is all yellow already!! I love the whimsical feel to the yellow door. It's unexpected and sweet. Kasey's right, that dresser is so odd, ha!
ReplyDeleteI really love this brown chair I saw on Lori Andrews 'The 10 cent Designer' page - image 9/10 at this link: http://loriandrewsinteriors.com/portfolio.htm
ReplyDeleteNot sure where it would fit, but I love the lines.
Kasey- you say it perfectly...glad we agree:)
ReplyDeleteMichaela- I know, overload on yellow isnt a good idea..bummer!
Cassie- O that chair is so funky and amazing. I wonder how comfortable it would be. It looks super squishy and heavenly.I also simply love the white shell chair, those are always a favorite of mine.

i used to hate southwestern themed pieces too until i moved away from az. now I LOOOOOVE them! but yeah all those other pieces that caught your eye for the wrong reason are creepy.
ReplyDeleteI saw both these DIY Furniture pieces on Apartment Therapy recently, and i completely agree with you on both points! When I first saw the southwestern themed one, I was like, What the....? Both pieces are so much nicer in their original state. If the owners wanted to update the look, staining them darker might have been a better choice. Regarding the sideboard piece, a nice glossy white might have been nice, but not sure i would want to do that if the wood is in such a good condition.
ReplyDeleteI just recently bought a mid-century modern walnut sideboard from an antique shop, and i'm hoping to stain it a darker colour (as there is sun and surface damage). I didn't realize when I bought it that it has a veneer (it was in a barn and a pretty good price). Do you have any experience or suggestions? I was planning to sand it down by hand, then do the whole staining bit - i'm just afraid that i'll make a mistake!
Sorry for leaving such a long rambling comment!
