It's ridiculous/incredible. I am in love with the midcentury-steampunk thing.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The only thing I have from Restoration Hardware is a replica India Company tea set: it's a little tea pot with two smaller pots that sit on top, for the sugar and the cream. Unfortunately, it's coated with silver, which makes it (a) impossible to handle when it's filled with hot water; and (b) tarnish. So it looks nice but I can't use it and I have to polish it.
I was so disappointed when I finally went into a Restoration Hardware. I thought it was going to be an old-timey hardware place...not furniture porn.
I love to browse. DH doesn't like their distressed pieces, though. He's a huge fan of John Pawson and we'd live like Cistercian monks if he had his way.
I was totally Sue WRT Restoration Hardware. I actually went there for the first time looking for odd-sized 1920s vintage drawer pulls. They have nice drawer pulls, but not for vintage furniture!
Calli, that chair! OMG.
I want to challenge Neil DeGrasse Tyson to a a game of Scrabble. No reason. I just want to.

I think they started out more that way and then caught the Pottery Barn bug and transformed.

They distress him? (sorry, couldn't resist)
Along the same lines, remember when Banana Republic sold like safari clothes?? The first (?) one in Cambridge had a jeep half in and half out of the store's front window. Exciting!
Both of those chairs are awesome. I especially love the one Jesse linked. SO steampunky!
It's supposed to rain like this all week. Can someone wake me up next Monday? Ugh.
