	Woody,	1 Relevance	12 years ago	keewee	General discussion
	Woody, I thought it would be the same for me, but instead it just made me sad. I can't put a finger on what disturbed me so much.Dealers asking a bunch of people with no experience for advice? People trying to talk themselves into something cheap they've found but don't really like? The lack of desire to develop taste? Idiots who don't even know the most basic of MCM furniture designers? Like a Thonet chair...really? Those are pretty distinctinve and common. You can't figure that one out on your own? The greed? The fact that most of them just wanted to accum ...

	... order from Copenhagen, but the people that ordered it decided they didn't want it. My dad thought it was perfect for me since I was never on time for anything. I loved that clock, even when my kitty peed on the bottom shelf and I didn't notice it right away because I had a vase there (the round stain) and I never could get it completely out since it was just a veneer. I moved to Europe in 1987 and traveled all over (yes with the clock in tow) and it was always a focal point in my living room and one of my favorite pieces. Everyone always commented on it and ...

I have kids and we took them to Tivoli (which I would have enjoyed even if I didn't have kids) and the experimtarium city (no need to go there if you don't have kids).
	I may have used a wire brush	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I may have used a wire brush but I think coarse steel wool is more efficient. Wipe the rust dust off with alcohol on a rag if you want to paint right way, otherwise just a damp rag is ok. The spray with Rustoleum flat black. I once got semi-gloss black by mistake and used it anyway and it looks so wrong! I left mine out year-round because i didn't have any good covered storage for them at the time. The paint lasts about 3 years before needing to be redone again, unless you're okay with a more weathered look.
	They do look Danish.	1 Relevance	12 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	They do look Danish. I strongly suspect they have been reupholstered, because the Cambric cover under the seats doesn't strike me as original. The Danes didn't do it that way. And there might be a mark on the underside of the seat. Your choice whether you pull it off to check. The wood looks like it is Afrormosia or possibly stained lighter wood.
	If you liked the pictures,	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Peter Dalsgaard	General discussion
	If you liked the pictures, you're really gonna love this. I've found a link to the entire catalog. (I originally got the file attached to an email.) Please note before you click on anything.This file is not accesible through Bruun-Rasmussens main page.However, 1) the link is directly related to the proprietor (Bruun-Rasmussen), thus it's not a 3rd party hack. 2) the link is accesible for everyone who does a little google digging. 3) If they didn't want people to download it, they shouldn't put it on the internet.Thus I consider the download completely within ...

	... prove their worth. If I had to compare the style to an animal, it wouldn’t really be a dolphin. It would be the cheetah. A gracious cat, but immensely powerful. Enough with the metaphors. I did a little digging regarding the Danish and Italian characteristics of the design, and found out that there might actually be a Danish-Italian connection (I know. It sounds like a drug-cartel) As Leif mentions, a lot of Danish designers had similar design. The “grandfather” of Danish design, Kaare Klint, was very conservative in his designs, so I ruled him out as the s ...
	I don't know how to ID Knoll	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I don't know how to ID Knoll butterfly chairs or if it even matters. I had 11 vintage butterfly chair frames at one point (got most of them for a dollar or two each at auction because they didn't have slings). Some are heavier gauge steel than others, some have bent tips and some have straight tips, and one or two have sloppy welds. The dimensions vary a lot, too. None are marked. Except for the one or two that are relatively lightweight, I like them all and they all look pretty much the same when the slings are on them. (I got both the cotton canvas s ...
	Based on someone's else's	1 Relevance	12 years ago	cdsilva	General discussion
	Based on someone's else's comments concerning wood color of my chair, I took a closer look at it last night. I now think that the frame might be a combination of teak for the arm/back rests, and afromosia for the legs. I'm not sure why I didn't notice it before, but the wood color is slightly different between these components, and the grain looks like it might be different as well. Do any of you other Bambi owner out there notice the same construction on your chairs? I had never even heard of afromosia until leif started mentioning it on DA. Also, I rea ...

	if you have a date to buy something (CL vrs garage sale) research, research, research beforehand! I panic if I can't make an informed offer. Hopefully you didn't pay and arm and a leg 🙁
	Thanks Spanky!	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Grendel_The_Cat	General discussion
	Thanks Spanky! I think you nailed it with the lacuqer. The best way I could think of to describe what it looked like was to say it looked like a week old clear manicure, but I didn't think most people here would understand that 🙂

	... holes didn't match up at all. A carpenter told me that the filler would shrink after awhile and gaps would open up--well, it didn't and the door still looked and functioned like a solid piece of wood years later. That's been my experience with this stuff. I'd try it if I had what you have.

	... to the first competition. And maybe that was the case, or maybe they didn't bother to research the designs at all (it's not as if HGTV has impeccable standards, after all). So when this Big Dramatic Reality TV Twist lands fortuitously in their laps, they run with it. I agree with the Post--very badly handled however it came up. But is anyone surprised? PS, I think that Colorado guy's furniture looks like Western-style Restoration Hardware and/or Pottery Barn. I wonder how much of it is truly original?

	... had their off (way off) days, which is where I would personally put the Nelson grandfather clock. But if you want to discuss my reaction to your clock, then your response raises another interesting question of where is the sometimes fine line between art and kitsch. I will admit that the art/kitsch line is probably very personal. I posted a carved wood piece some time ago asking that very question, though it didn't generate much discussion: http://www.designaddict.com/forum/General-discussion/Art-or-Kitsch . My opinion was that the piece in my post was on ...
