So, I’m helping another friend put together her Brooklyn apartment. It’s a lovely place with nice light and lots of room, and right now they have some great pieces but a lot of BROWN. It’s very brown.
First up: colorful barstools! Right now, one lonely brown barstool hangs out in space and makes me sad. Lots of the inspiration images she pulled were rooms with lots of neutrals and a few bright pops of color. So goodbye, mopey little stool.
I pulled these options for her. What do you think?
Red: West Elm / Overstock / DWR
Blue: Industry West / CB2 / Overstock
Yellow: Crate and Barrel / Industry West / A+R
I want that low-back Tolix knockoff so badly. As soon as my baby won’t fall off of it and break her arm, I will get it.











It sounds like your client has a dull taste! A lot of brown? Who does that? I think she should go with the yellow/green stool in the bottom left.
She’s so busy and important that she doesn’t have time to think about frivolous things like furniture. She’s so brilliant, in fact, that I think she *will* go with the yellow/green stool in the bottom left.
Perhaps somebody should tell her how to order it. She’s best at pulling the trigger when told exactly how to.
