Everything else can be covered up, even the godawful Bengals chair My favourite (no shame) is #7 - the round seat your son liked. I immediately pictured myself going round and round saying 'Squeeeeee' at the top of my voice. What's not to like? :) I know this discussion started a long time ago but I’ve only just discovered your site (thumbs up, btw)

I could see something like that in a simple room that is very country looking with lots of white or light wood. Granted, they're a bit over the top and overdone but cute in a way. As for the rest of it ... wow, there's a lot of ugly stuff indeed. #5 and #8 (the multi-colored chairs) are kind of cute in a Shabby Chic kind of way.

However, I will admit that I like to do everything laying down (watching TV, reading, doing homework...) so I may be biased. The microsuede would have to go, though.

I live in mom's neighborhood- you know the 1950's ranch houses. Right next door is the new neighborhood and all the furniture stores have stuff like this. And, I will also point out that this new community is actually a more upscale demographic. I can only assume that the McMansions require this kind of awful scale. And the dinette set? That is for our parents. As Liz said, this is in many kitchens and the old folks don't want a new style, they just need to replace their tatty old set. Not that I am advocating this set, I will say they are very, very comfortable! Fugliest? #3- furniture like that should not be allowed to exist (I am not counting #9 because it is obviously intended for the man-cave of the McMansion. Least fugliest, could almost live with? #8- could be a welcome addition to a master suite with different pillows. (This from a woman who DOES love yellow!) Julia, I love your blog.
