The designer is a Francophile and has thrust his love upon the entire populace. What if you're not in love with that look? Well, you'll have to go elsewhere. I would wager that this niche is rather small and since that is all they now peddle, they're either going to have to introduce new pieces or go the way of Versailles. A nice place to visit, but nothing to call home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-54426313511698812732009-10-08T14:34:55.863-04:002009-10-08T14:34:55.863-04:00I've been hearing raves left and right for Res...I've been hearing raves left and right for Restoration Hardware's new look.

They were raving about your blog - and gee whiz - I feel like a bit of a dunce for never happening upon it! <br /><br />Lovely work, lovely indeed! <br /><br />So funny, as a few weeks ago Ill Seen, Ill Said did a post about Restoration Hardware that caused me to take a second look. Crazy enough, I posted about them today on my blog, before I "found" your post ~ go figure!!<br /><br />I guess we're all on the same page, and in agreement - as the new styles are very fresh. *In a turn of the century "industrial" sort of way!*<br /><br />Anyway, I look forward to exploring your entire sketch-blog. I certainly know that I am going to find the time sometime soon to click through every one of those flickr images. I must admit I took a quick peek .. oh-my...delight!<br /><br />So glad the EADL gals were raving about you. <br />Happy blogging, <br />ABC Dragoo <br />(@abcddesigns on Twitter)ABC Dragoohttp://www.abcddesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-75054531355130814852009-09-26T08:50:48.026-04:002009-09-26T08:50:48.026-04:00I'm absolutely NUTS about the new collections ...I'm absolutely NUTS about the new collections too!! But, like you, I agree that the scale, something which R.H. has always had a problem with, is beyond big. A few of the newer pieces, the professors chair for instance, is scaled well, but some of the sofa's are the size of my apartment! All-in-all I'm totally in love with the new look of R.H.!!!Scott Fazzinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15151887908949731535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-36146910207655110372009-09-23T13:54:55.195-04:002009-09-23T13:54:55.195-04:00Gorgeous, gorgeous goodies, xv.Gorgeous, gorgeous goodies, xv.vicki archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847183975086900816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-64551934281804486952009-09-23T10:27:05.561-04:002009-09-23T10:27:05.561-04:00did you write this post specifically with me in mi...did you write this post specifically with me in mind?

If you want that style of form, my advice is eBay. Wolf forms come up all the time, and seem to go for $200-$300 or so, less for other brands and display forms. Shipping can be tough, but a lot of them are sold out of NYC, so you could avoid that.Elizabethhttp://fata-felice.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-40293592102193555262009-09-22T16:46:01.774-04:002009-09-22T16:46:01.774-04:00Yowza!

And like you, I've had a couple of old subway signs in my office for a couple of years -- nice to know we're trendsetters, huh? ;)<br /><br />I am just thrilled with their "new look" and hope it breathes all kinds of new life into the company.
