Lately my thoughts on design have been filled with more questions than answers: Should i go with 2 small or one large coffee table? Box-up, display, or hock the knickknacks I've been carting around for years? And, most importantly, when to say when with a teddy bear colletion:
Psst, I'm pretty sure the answer is one. Or a million. Shit I don't even know. I kinda sorta like how 80 gazillion raggedy bears create a textural, bizarre landscape in this otherwise simple space. But then again, they're teddy bears. And then we must consider that they are in the same home as these displays:
Someone likes collections. On one hand I appreciate the restraint with which all these groupings are displayed. Despite the fact that Mr. Homeowner also owns 452 canes and 347 magazines (my figures) the place is still pretty spiffy and looks nothing like the vintage shops most collector's homes resemble. But, then again, these are canes and bears we're talking about here.
And glasses, let's not forget that we need 18 thousand glasses. I saw a wide shot of this room and that cupboard is like 90 feet high, this is only a third of the glassware. That bird is like head level to me if that helps put it into perspective. Why not 4,000 birds you ask? Fear not
For there are at least 782 quail on the premises. And, if my design logic is correct these puppies are smack-dab behind teddy bear alley.
But, then again there is this Jesus on the Cross right below a fossilized fish, so there's that.
What do you say? Are 433 canes appropriate? Should I keep all those stupid knickknacks of mine? And what about the double / single coffee table dilemma? Sorry, you get no visual on that. Go with your gut.
