Tchochkes

I came across these sofas from Milano bedding that are quite expensive and I think pretty darn ugly.  This company not only boasts style but also ultimate comfort.  I searched and searched for the comfort aspect on their website and I could not come up with anything to show.  The price tags starting at 9,000 and up to 40,000 NIS are not in the bargain shopper range to say the least.  I even think that IKEA has some comprable sofas for half the price.

Ouch, this sofa looks sooo uncomfortable.  I would not last long sitting here.

It looks like they left the down comforter on the sofa… Where is the style here?

Oh, that’s where I left my yellow sleeping bag!

This sofa had possibilities but I think you can find a similar one at IKEA.

I almost thought this one was nice but then I noticed that they forgot to iron the skirt.  The crinkle thing just does not work for me.

Not only is the couch boring and uncomfortable looking, the room setting is horrible.  Are those square covered in the same fabric as the couch, yikes!

I’m feeling guilty about yesterdays post regarding what not to do with an orange sofa. Someone wrote in stating that they liked the sofa (which actually made me really happy - it’s always nice to know people are reading the posts and not just looking at the pics.)

I wanted to make good to Modelit, and show a few things from their website that I actually liked (or at least didn’t find an affront.)

The living room to the left is a tad bland color-wise, but the neutral tones are not offensive in anyway and the sofas look very comfy.

The pool sofa below is just yummy. I love the lime green accent pillows.

When I first started this site I wasn’t sure if I should let out my inner ‘meany’ when it comes to interior design.

Where do I have the right to tell someone that something is simply awful? I saw this picture a week ago on Modelit and I have been debating with myself since, whether I should post it and tear the whole thing apart, or keep my opinion to myself.

My mean side won.

It’s not that the sofa by Cheateau d’Ax is awful - which it is in that European sort of way - but that the room they put to show off the sofa just scary. That lamp? OMG, that lamp!

The orange sofas match the orange lamp, match the orange base of the floor vase, match the orange lines through the rug, match the orange tchochkes on the table.

It’s like someone puked an orange factory and here is the result. I hate the shape of the sofas, but undoubtedly they are comfortable - ugly sofas always are. G-d only knows why.

This, on the other hand, is a room by Conran and while it’s not actually a room to live in it is a better example of how to mix pieces. Yes, they have orange in the carpet - but it isn’t the exact same shade. And note, there isn’t any more orange in the room.

This is an example of what to do.

Penthouse Furniture (not related to the magazine of the same name) carries sexy well-made furniture imported from around the world.

I love their pieces, and I have to say I don’t think the dressing in either of these photos does their products justice.

Mmmmmmm… leather.

If the bed realizes that gravity exists does that mean that you’ll fall forward?

Pink contrasting trim, making an otherwise nondescript sofa into something much more.
