Nate's stuff for Linens & Things was all terrible quality. I was horrified at the junk with his name on it, all made in China low quality, all fabrics with unidentifiable origins, nothing soft or lovely, all cheap and synthetic. There is a Canadian desinger Brian Gluckstein whose work is amazing but his home collection for the Bay is mostly cheap overpriced junk. I think it is disgusting the prices they charge for this stuff. I don't think things need to be expensive to be beautiful, but I could find no beauty amongst most of their cheap crap.<br /><br />Now designers like Windsor Smith and those who do it for the trade - another matter entirely. Only the rich get the nice stuff.Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-12955051743000461232010-03-16T14:56:23.621-04:002010-03-16T14:56:23.621-04:00wow. this seriously looks like its gonna be lots o...wow. this seriously looks like its gonna be lots of fun. dont you just love tv shopping!!!!!ashlina {the decorista}https://www.blogger.com/profile/05672954377155259852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-23381827483401550652010-03-16T13:11:56.940-04:002010-03-16T13:11:56.940-04:00I love Nate and I would have thought that Ken Brow...I love Nate and I would have thought that Ken Brown would have had better things.

I was disappointed in Jeff's line too, because I think his style is fab! I admit I don't even think to look at either of these shows to buy my home goods from buy some of Nate's stuff does look pretty cool, like the rug and candle holder!Laurie from Laurie Jones Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549329957385944618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-56878283358674627422010-03-15T10:48:30.223-04:002010-03-15T10:48:30.223-04:00Have not spent much time looking at what is offere...Have not spent much time looking at what is offered, but was flipping through the channels one day and caught Genevieve selling her bedding.
