Now when their catalogue comes I invariably open it and say "Ewwww." Not only is the styling crap, the products look cheap as well, and not fun cheap but boring cheap, which is indefensible!<BR/>-LMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428122696792671569.post-5385501661876411752008-07-12T02:17:00.000-05:002008-07-12T02:17:00.000-05:00Is this all Crate and Barrell? the red plastic lam...Is this all Crate and Barrell? the red plastic lamp looks Ikea.<BR/>Kim, i lov this post. it rally is annpying the way i've seen catalogues recently, styled as if someone said "here's the thing you have to do on every page" and then other catalogues pick it up as well. (need i mention the backwards book phenomenon of 2006?)<BR/>But you get to the important point- these rooms have cesed to look lived in, and instead are impressionistic. it's more like stylized paintings of rooms than a snapshot of what "your home could look like if you buy this vase..."<BR/><BR/>badly done, C&B, badly done.Kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021145944635829310noreply@blogger.com
