    Apartment foo-nishing

    May I suggest nesting tables instead of a coffee table? Practical and whimsical. :embar:

    How terrible does social life after college become? (worried 20 year old sheltered as a teenager)

    Transfer to a big university in a big town. Find a girl/boyfriend and get on with it. Stop looking back so much. :)

    You're in the doghouse, sir, for passing on the New York City picture. :nodding:

     I like it. Reminds me of Girl with A Pearl Earring; similar response but with more economy.

    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

     I was at the thrift-a-roony today and spotted two pairs of Alden shortwings, both 11C -- not my size -- medium brown and black calf, excellent condition, on what appeared to be the Aberdeen last. Fifty dollars per pair. I passed.

    I second Artnet. Seems to be what most pros use. I own Benezit Dict. of Artists and can generally get by with the records it contains, even if they're a few years old. My maxim though has been, If it looks good, it is good, irrespective of who the creator was and what their track record is.

    I like the painting. $1500 wouldn't be out of line, not having the picture in my hands for inspection. A $200 - $300 cleaning might make a world of difference, as I'm sure you know. I also respect your appreciation for keeping the"gallery glow". Anyway, you pays your money and you takes your...

     I can speak to the condition, perhaps. Lined. Masking varnish? Use of bitumen indicated by chunky crackling: Mid-19th C.? English, after Dutch Italianate? Might look a good deal better after a professional cleaning. May in fact look worse. Shows some signs of a previous over-cleaning, esp...

    Leather Sofa

    Restoration Hardware is the Banana Republic of home furnishings Be that as it may, I have not seen a chesterfield as nice as theirs. They're made in China, however, and that's bound to lead to disappointment. The down/feathers in the cushions scare me off, too. Dust mites loooove feathers.

    Is this painting too overwhelmingly huge for this room?

    Put some fatties on the sofa and re-take the picture. I'll make a big print and hang it behind my sofa.

    That actually looks like a bad photoshop touch up job, not a defect on the shoe. Anyways, if you want absolutely perfectly made shoes Alden is probably not for you. I agree. Alden's quality control is absolutely atrocious. Just had to take my JCrew suede Alden's in for repair. Left shoe nearly...

    Things to fill up an apartment

    I have a rule. Except for art, everything must have utilitarian function. No crap for the sake of it. And it has to look good doing whatever it does. NOOOO brick-a-brack. **** becomes oppressive.
