New Fall Home Décor Trend Is Beyond Shabby Chic: Look, My Dog Ate My Armchair

I know what you’re thinking…

This must be another “Before” picture from that Designer Showhouse in North Carolina, right?

You know, the one with the logs…

Nope.

It’s actually an “After” photograph, styled by the team at Anthropologie.

Can’t imagine why not one designer at the Cashiers Designer Showhouse didn’t come up with this themselves.  Hard to believe, isn’t it?

The armchair was just introduced in Antropologie’s new fall home collection…

It’s supposed to look that way.

Yep, that’s right.  It’s the latest look from the temporarily insane designers at Anthropologie.

Here’s what the Anthropologie copywriter came up with to describe the shaggy beast new design:

Shaggy roses from a hand woven rug unexpectedly cover the curves and lines of this classic armchair.    

Unexpectedly? 

Here’s what I’m thinking:  the rose-colored glasses Anthroplogie’s copywriter is wearing, just might need a cleanin’.

The armchair has a price tag of $998 and if you add in the $150 for shipping, the thing fetches $1148.

Taaaffy!  Have you seen my rose-colored glasses?  I  think I need them.

Poor  Thomas Chippendale. 

He’s spinning like a rotisserie in his grave!

And what’s up with those legs?  I think I smell a markdown.

Even my Dog Taffy’s design intelligence is insulted. 

She wants an Anthr-Apology.

Later, I’ve Got to let the Dog out,

Would you (or your Dog) want this chair in YOUR home?  Tell me what YOU think of this Puppy!

If you really must see this armchair with your own eyes to believe it; you can find it  here.  Oh, and there’s one more thing: all of the armchair images were via Anthropologie…their photography is fabulous!
