Love love love......the tall, dark and handsome!

I tell my clients incessantly......"tall and thin; not short and fat"

Just about every single thing in decor and architecture is that the truth! Windows, doors, furniture...houses.

Tall and thin! Just like women and men!

Yikes......I may start a furor!

Tall , dark and handsome.........fab secretary desk!

Bravo!

How clever of you to position Gore Vidal's insight next to this item. Lot 55 seems to prove his point perfectly.

Would you refinish it or leave it as-is?

HOBAC said...

mamacita — most definitely leave it as-is.

WANT! I adore anything with so many nooks.

I had similar back in England and had to part with it when crossing the channel. Now I ask, why oh why?
