Just when I thought I was ready to make the big dining room chair purchase, Better Living Through Design showed me the light: White on White.
I'm not sure how they do it, or the copyright laws surrounding the whole issue, but they have items identical to better known brands for a fraction of the cost. The only thing I found on the website is this statement:
"WHITE FURNITURE'S PRODUCTS ARE NOT MANUFACTURED BY, SPONSORED BY, AFFILIATED WITH, OR ASSOCIATED WITH HERMAN MILLER, CHARLES OR RAY EAMES, KNOLL, FRITZ HANSEN OR OTHER COMPANIES
That statement itself makes me wary, but the pieces look substantial, and nothing says mdf/composite board that I saw. Hmmm. Yours truly just might change her uppity design standards in the near future anyway. Hi-C called on me on my cell yesterday (a rarity to hear from him while he works), with resolve that now is the time to start looking for a house. Would that make us "official adults"? I think I have an ingrained fear of growing up, and buying a house (though incredibly exciting) is one step closer to khakis and coming to terms with the fact that I work a 9-5-ish job. Cripes, would this be considered an early onset midlife crisis?!?
