In thinking about my new room, I've found (somewhat to my dismay) that searching through blogs and websites pertaining to interior design holds my interest for hours. Shelving particularly. You wouldn't believe what people do with shelves these days. My plan? Make a cheap imitation of the best one, put in my new room, and take all creative credit. Anyway, I'm including pictures of some of the cooler "pieces" I've come across, as I have nothing better to do, besides sort through my stuffed animals and decide which ones I can bear to part with. "Dad, the poor don't want that one! I need him!"

Anyway, what lesson have we learned from all this over-priced contemporary crap? Things that double as other things are AWESOME, and functionality is in the eye of the beholder.
That, and that you should never let your children pick the color they want to paint their room. Creative expresssion has other, less...lasting...outlets.
The shelves that double as trees is just genius. The butler should be holding wine and liquor bottles - not books. Those chairs don't look especially comfortable, unless they should be lined with some type of micro suede.
ReplyDeleteI for one am a big fan of chairs. This site keeps me occupied for hours. It has both chairs and shelves: http://design-milk.com/
As you think about what color your new room will be, also be sure to take a ponder about your new city. I think Baton Rouge may be the next city that we need to take on. I'm sure there is much to see and explore in the red stick.
