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.

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.
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.
Yeah, I first went to Restoration Hardware because I love hardware stores, so I was initially disappointed, but I got over that and am now just disappointed that I can't actually afford anything they carry.
I've been avoiding Restoration Hardware. I'm weak and, well, so are my finances. I do, however, occasionally go through the architectural salvage store in my neighborhood. Amazing things ... some of which remind me of my grandparents' house.

That's the nice thing about RH. It's far enough into "oh hell no" range that I can moon over things without actually being at risk of succumbing.
