Forget you

My attention has been drawn to a tumblr site, the concept of which is so simple I wish I’d thought of it myself. Yes, F***YourNoguchiCoffeeTable is a regular post of a single interiors picture and caption. The one below reads, “F*** your giant wall word.”

As a puncturing of design snobbery and hipster nonsense it’s perfect. A lot of pleasure comes in the succinct descriptions. This below is, of course, a ‘clock vignette’. And you know how I feel about those.

Plus maybe it’s just me but there’s a kind of two-way pleasure to be had in reading down, sniggering, thinking, “Yeah exactly, nuts to antlers and chalkboards,” and then being hit by something you really love in your own home. Like a refreshing slap in the face. “Chair hodgepodge” I’m talking to you. Get over there now and see how many of your treasured decorating ideas are in the firing line. Fun!

      Thanks Jessica – I feel exactly the same. But it’s also so full of trends that really need calling out as being OVER x

    I think the most ridiculous ones are where you get a group of ‘trends’ altogether and it is complete overkill…
