apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I'm afraid I'm sticking with "dated"

Pierre Deux fabrics wear very well. Quality with a big Q.

I think it's perfect for my grandmother, or in my imaginary French villa. . .

I based my entire kitchen renovation on this picture from Pierre Deux's website:

I never in a million years thought the bold Vera and Marimekko prints of my childhood bedroom would ever come back into fashion. And so many of today's "Fresh" prints are dead ringers for the wallpaper I ripped out of my first apartment.

They all came back. So why not Pierre Deux too?

OMG it makes me want to vomit....my childhood and teenage years were spent in a room that basically looked like they threw up Laura Ashley. Everything matched...from the curtains to my jewelry box. And everything else in the house looked like that Pierre Deux chit. I hate it. I never want to look at it again. It's like torture.

Reminds me of April Cornell.

oh barf.

That couch looks like a larger incarnation of those awful soccer mom bags I see being carried around town. Ack.

I would bet money that ten years from now, cool 20-somethings will be going crazy for retro Pierre Deux and turning up their noses at MCM because that's how their moms decorate.

Comparing Pierre Deux to Vera Bradley or Laura Ashley is like comparing...oh nevermind not worth the effort...

the couch and the bags say "older suburban lady" to me.

I think lots of people judge things by who owns them, rather than on their own merits.

not dated at all, though the extreme overdone use of such textile patterns is. used in moderation -- as it would be in Provence -- it's wonderful.

Looks good in Provence looks old lady in suburbia USA.
Don't even use it in the city please!
