apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Seriously? I'd love to hear from the people who said Not - I think this would look amazing in some kind of mod chinoserie setup.

I'm a "not" vote. It looks cute, but I'd rather be able to lean back against something

Psychiatrist's waiting room, circa 1978. Hidden camera records how the patients attempt to cope with lack of back support. Add philodendra, fish tank, and back issues of regional magazine to taste.

oh, my blushes, Wende.

I sort of like it. What would make or break it for me would be the context in which it was used. A psychiatrist's office would definitely not be an advantageous context. A lounge-y modernist flat in Rome or Paris would be.

I'm a "not," and here's why: I don't think the chinoiserie frame works with the sensible-beige-rumpus-room fabric. If the upholstery were, say, black raw silk, I'd be getting out my credit card.
