	well.. this looks like... well.. this looks like interesting thing to point at, how much is it appropriate to ease the children their own creative process of exploring with crayons 🙂 I mean.. it's kind of natural discovery to find out how to unpack the crayon 🙂 break it, melt it... and whatever kids do with crayons.. even putting them back into box might serve as an exercise...
	Gorgeous Darlin!	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Gorgeous Darlin! The one thing I hate about the new chairs (and this includes mine) is that the cushions are puffed way up. That just means you need to sit in it. A lot. You need to get that leather really creased and broken in! 🙂 The ivory is gorgeous (and very much a woman's chair) and the walnut is just beautifully warm and rich!!! So happy for you Riki 🙂
	Not impressive	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Not impressive the most interesting thing about this is the possible Newman story - but you'd have a hell of a time proving it. And - he says in the posting that his father bought the chair... The graining of the wood is blah, the possible arm repair, and the pulling of the leather cushions on the seat. All those things would caution me away from this chair.
	When I see a silly thread like this,	1 Relevance	18 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	When I see a silly thread like this, one thing comes to mind.....LANDFILL. (Am I kidding? Perhaps.) Honestly, I'm sure my Sister and/or Brother will put 'em up on eBay, considering that they have watched me buy so much on there. Some of the weird threads, along with politcal ones and the everloving PLASTIC SURGERY thread does make me wonder if he haven't delved into all of the possible design conversations possible
	Re the saddam reference	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Killian	General discussion
	Re the saddam reference Well it is french that might explain the saddam thing by a company famous for doing louis the umpteenth style.I have bought it yes but I still have yet to see it in person.It was designed for the Warldorf Astoria hotel.I agree with you though about the sound of glasses///cups on glass tops.
	Repair Thanks!	1 Relevance	22 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Repair Thanks! DRS & YCL, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I am most certain it is the real thing... It has the round marble base and not the tripod base, but it does have the "Made in Italy" stamp. I would much rather pay a pro to fix it than attempt it myself. It is rather intricate and my tools are limited, SO thanks again and if I find a great person, I will definately post it! Cheers!
	Why so negative?	1 Relevance	22 years ago	cwoo	General discussion
	Why so negative? Olive has come out clearly stating her position, the tirade wasn't a good thing she is backing, she's simply calling for decency and civility. Hopefully that's not too far to reach for most of us. This can be a good forum to learn, share, and unfortunately also, work out personal issues by shooting others down. Which course you choose is up to you.
	RE: Possible Finn Juhl or Family Legend?	1 Relevance	7 years ago	Garth45	Identification
	Lexi, You are spot-on! Isn't the internet an amazing thing? Thank you so much for the information. I might have had some qualms about allowing Percival the Cat to rest upon Finn Juhl laurels, but an Arne Vodder suits him just fine. And I'll let my 93-year-old mother know that she is not senile, just a little confused. Regards ... Garth Garth
	Rare Spares	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Poach	General discussion
	About a year ago, the cleaning lady at my office knocked one of my ball clocks off the wall, breaking a metal spoke. I looked in vain for a replacement. I soon gave up, and bought the non-standard sized thread dies necessary to fabricate my own replacement. For some reason, Howard Miller used different thread sizes on the ends of the spokes, and one of them is a real oddball. Anyway, the clock is now restored, and even I can't tell which arm was replaced. The frustrating bit of this is that I know there's some pack rat like myself who has that replacement spoke, and could have saved me the hassle of fabricating one. Often, when someone enters the forum looking for a spare part, they're herded off to Ebay, Graham Mancha, or Hume. These places are fine, if you need a chair foot or a shock mount. But ball clock arms? Nope. Leg clip for your Eames DTM? Nope. I know there's some schmuck out there who needs the Nelson X-base leg brace I have sitting in a coffee can in the basement. Thing is, our chances of connecting in the span of a 7-day Ebay auction are pretty slim, so I wouldn't bother posting it there. I know that the forum is not to be used for commercial interests, and I respect that. Would a thread that helps us connect people who either need or have rare spare parts to share violate that dictate? Or, does there already exist another clearing house for this type of thing?
	Polishing Eames Lounge Base	1 Relevance	17 years ago	mjf451	General discussion
	Hi folks, So I was hoping to clean up and polish the base to my lounger. I know that the Aluminum Group chairs have some sort of coating on them, so you shouldn't use a polishing agent. Is that the same thing with the Eames lounger bases? What can I use to polish them up to look like new? Thanks!
	Dorothy Draper Espana Chest	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	any body know anything about this Chest? I know Heritage made them at one time and Kimball makes them now. Does anyone have any idea who else made them? I bought one today in great condition. I would say from the 60's in Chinese red with gold trim it does not say Heritage or any thing on the inside.
	Abatron---I think that was	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Abatron---I think that was the one I used! It was highly recommended by The Old House Journal 20-25 year ago. Though I think Minwax's Wood Hardener and expoxy filler is the same kind of thing (not to be confused with their regular wood filler, which isn't really good for much in my opinion).
	Yes, been searching google...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	sophia	General discussion
	Yes, been searching google... Yes, been searching google images and only thing I can find are pictures for the ebay auction. The pulls do remind me of of the Bramin pieces too, but they seem to be quite different in shape. Will keep looking, but in the meantime hope someone here recognizes it. - Sophia
	You could also do a short, wide drum,	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	You could also do a short, wide drum, maybe..? But if you wanted to do a tall drum, you can always put an extension rod thing between the lamp base and the socket part, though it would entail unwiring and rewiring. But then you wouldn't have to hunt for a tall harp.
	It could be fake, I guess...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	It could be fake, I guess... ... but the labels and Knoll stamp are correct. My genuine table's label says "MC283" as well, but it's a Nero Marquina, so I don't think the "MC" on the label means the same thing as the "MC" suffix in the table's part number.
