House Beautiful?

I subscribe to the lovely design magazine House Beautiful. I get so excited when it arrives each month (with a request to hurry and renew even though I have 3 more months left). The March issue arrived yesterday and I brought it to work to enjoy during lunch. This issue is all about decorating with the color green. I love green and the wedding colors are green (many shades of) and white. I'm flipping through and I stumble upon these dining chairs from roomservicestore.com. Um...goodness these are tacky. That's the funny thing with design. I'll browse through gorgeous design books and magazines and then I'll find something like this and I just wonder what kind of person thinks this is beautiful or classy. Who puts a giant picture of a female skeleton above their fireplace? Sure, whimsical items are fun but this is just inappropriate for dining. They're called "the perfect bum chair" and they are $495 each. Each! Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Oh, and happy VD everyone. I hope you have a romantical and chocolate indulgent day!
