apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I didn't think I would see anything even remotely linked to FAB that I liked but this I do. Well as long as I don't include the gold that is.

Unfortunately, plumbing would spoil the look to a fairly large extent but maybe this could be used as a decorative piece. It would look pretty cool in our entrance hall.

DROOL with a capital D......I am in love!!!

So is the mirror attached? I don't like the yellow (although it does seem to be the color of the moment: witness Michele Williams' dress and a spread in the new Shop Etc) but the platinum with the black is fab.

It's gorgeous, but I wonder how the FAB look will age. I'd be more incline to spec it for furniture than fixtures. There's already talk of espresso stained wood and wenge looking dated! I was looking for a laser cut mirror a couple years ago, but now that they are more prevalent, they've lost some of their appeal... but maybe I'm just a trend jumper.

Wow. That's all. Just W-O-W!

That is just UNBELIEVABLE. LOVE it!

Too cartoony for me, I'm afraid. And I agree with the person who asked about the plumbing - won't the purely utilitarian pipes clash a bit with all that lacquer?

Itt reminds me of all the stylized cheap "Dr. Seuss"-like furniture that was so popular in the late '90s. Not a good thing.

Can someone explain what "FAB" is?

Ruth, I'll take a shot at it....

FAB achieves a modern look by glamourizing vintage pieces or designs. This can be done through the use of materials such as bold fabric and lacquer to achieve a fresh style which is evocative of more traditional pieces. The effect achieved is elegant but carefree.

I love that mirror. Does anyone know of any cheaper versions of that style of mirror?

laquer? oh no... not again.
