| Norris, it is certainly OK to state your opinion. | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | Modern Love | General discussion | |
| Norris, it is certainly OK to state your opinion. There is a misinterpretaton that is the root to your problem with me. Correct me at any point where I am inaccurate. In point form: LRF started a thread saying how much 1stdibs sucked. I stated my opinions, which was different than LRF's. I thought 1stdibs was a good thing. girlygirl started a thread to check out a website vintageandmoderninc. The forum veterans quickly recognized it as an advertisement DISGUISED as a thread, by an agent of the website. Here, I said this THREAD was a bad thing, because it was not a real thread. It was disguised advertising that circumvented advertising fees to Patrick and Alix. And I said, such sneakness reflects poorly on the company. Norris, correct me if I am wrong, but I think that you interpreted my opinion as: "vintageandmoderninc (or any site other than 1stdibs) should not be mentioned on this forum.... by anyone". What I was really saying is: "vintageandmoderninc should not use aliases to plant threads on the forum directing people to their site". Do you see the difference? I'm saying this will all due respect, because your anger towards me is a result of a misinterpretation. LRF is a real person, girlygirl was not. Do you know what I mean? I hope so. http://www.designaddict.com/design_addict/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/th... | |||||
| Shit woody, I'm the man and... | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | whitespike | General discussion | |
| Shit woody, I'm the man and... Shit woody, I'm the man and the one interested in design / architecture. Blanket statement alert! Put the items in the same room. Eventually it'll occur to them (assuming you picked someone with some amount of intelligence) "Hey this thing is prettier and better made than that thing. Wouldn't it be cool if everything we had was that nice?" My wife had no well made modern items to speak of, but she was spotting Eames chairs in no time ... and bringing them home! I will have to admit, she still isn't quite used to the price tag of those items when it comes time to purchase... Usually once you get your first place TOGETHER that isn't all "yours" and include them on some decor choices that don't replace your beloved items (paint, textiles, finishes) they feel some amount of ownership. Often times they will see what items (i.e. theirs) don't help the situation. Then, if you can stomach it, get rid of a piece or two of yours that they don't particularly care for (for whatever reason ... it looks weird to them or isn't comfortable) and replace with something of equal caliber that you BOTH like (to your taste of course). Ensure them that it is important to you that they be honest about their likes/dislikes. Once they see it come together beautifully you can bet they are sold .... as long as rule #1-10 aren't broken. 1. Make it comfortable. 2. Make it comfortable. 3. Make it comfortable. 4. Make it comfortable. 5. Make it comfortable. 6. Make it comfortable. 7. Make it comfortable. 8. Make it comfortable. 9. Make it comfortable. DO I need to type #10? | |||||
| Big Television Man | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Big Television Man I can assure you that Gary deliberately did what he did because he told me so. My former office was about one block away and so for the last three years I have been considered a "regular". He told me that he saw the sofa the same day I bought it and also saw the sold tags on it. What he was also aware of was the special arrangements I had made with the management to pick it up. The store has a two day : "pick up your stuff or it goes back on sale policy" I had arranged to pick it up on the forth day of sale and he knew that from the assistant manager. I have reason to believe that he "greased" the assistant manager $50 to look the other way while he peeled the "sold" tags off of it. I know this because he literally told me how he did it and claimed it was legit because the "management was complicent with it. the reason I feel he bribed the assistant manager $50 because a one point he suggested that I go back to the thrift store and see if I could get my $ XYZ back , which happened to be exactly $50 more that what I paid for it. The fact of the matter was that he played the assistent manager against the general manager to pull this off during different work shifts. He knew exactly what he was doing. By the way I approched the manager with whom I initially made the arrangements, and she is more interested in sweeping the whole thing under the rug so that she doesnt have to actually be a manager/ desicion maker/ problem solver. The whole thing is very frustrating. | |||||
| While I do not disagree with | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Identification | |
| While I do not disagree with Aunt Mark, I am just wondering about those two little spindles (?) inside that swing-out drawer. Usually these are are in sewing cabinets so you can stick spools of thread on them to keep them from rolling around, or whatever. Maybe they have some other function? Also, the whole thing looks newer than back in the day when ladies did most of their sewing by hand and needed cabinets for supplies but not so much for sewing AT, since there is no kneehole in your thing that would enable someone to sit at a sewing machine and sew. Though it does look like a sewing machine would fit nicely into the bigger cubby below. The top is called a "waterfall" style, which might help to date it. I think waterfall tops were popular in the 30s and maybe into the 40s? The tops were always veneered and often ended up chipped at the edges, so you could look for evidence of that, i guess--which might help to date it. Or not. Also, swing-out drawers weren't usually just for fun, they were there for a reason, like to avoid hitting something inside, like a sewing machine that dropped down into the cabinet---or something. But maybe yours was just for fun, i dunno. extreme tangent: my great grandfather made each of his 7 (?) daughters a Martha Washington style sewing cabinet as a wedding gift, or at least some of them got one, and maybe not for her wedding---the details are sketchy. My grandmother's is still in our family somewhere, and I do have a darling photo of my grandmother about the time she got married, though the cabinet is not in the photo. She was not a smoker. | |||||

| @Lexi, I had not. I have heard of Bute, but assumed it was an American market thing. I have already had a look and there's some things I'll be getting some samples of. @Herringbone You make a convincing and intimidating point. I would like to achieve both avoiding the time capsule and being true to the design. I do wonder if that's possible at all. | |||||
