"Why in the world would anyone want to wear blue jeans!".<br /><br />This remark always caused my to chuckle and mutter "semiotics old girl, semiotics".<br /><br />She never understood that the viewer forms his or her relationship through the lens of their own experience. Much like the Confederate flag is read one way by Hayley Barber and quite another by the mother of Strom Thurmond's love child, we tend to appreciate (or not) any object through our accumulated life experience. <br /><br />Invite LFG to watch some movies about WWII fighter pilots or something from the great TV series 12:00 O'clock High and see if she begins to appreciate the patina of sheet metal and leather.<br /><br />I usually read your post with a purely aesthetic stance ADG but this time an efferent approach seemed more appropriate.

Number one is that if I asked for my offspring’s opinion for every piece of furniture that crossed the threshold, our house would look like Disneyland – not good. I’m secure enough to think that I know what will look good and what would not. Underage children’s tastes have yet to emerge. BUT number two school of thought has to take into consideration that we are dealing with: LFG. Not someone who can be trifled (sound familiar????) and so close to Christmas and all. The girl has shown remarkable taste in the re-design of her room, HOWEVER, it is your/her home and I happen to think the chair is fantastic(!!!!). LFG will learn to love it, so go with it. The rugs you have will only make it look better.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845757688839404825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-78869372568809359642010-12-15T19:02:56.404-05:002010-12-15T19:02:56.404-05:00"The chair is hideous."
