Pyramid Etagere
Is it safe to judge an e-commerce site by its layout? Sometimes I hesitate to go off the beaten web path, concerned over quality and customer service, but I think lots of decorating gold comes in not-so-slick packaging. For instance check out this five-tier pyramid etagere (I finally learned how to make accents but then Typepad goes all Cyrillic on me!):
The photo is enough to make my eyes bleed -- three books and a tigerlily arrangement? Yikes. But it's nearly six feet tall, made of black metal and has a perfect obelisk shape. I also like the mini-ball feet and finial. I could see a pair of these filled with plants flanking a sofa on a screened porch or one in a living room with books. Might be tempted to replace the glass shelves with shiny black plexi (or antiqued mirror if I had the $$). "Sine assenbky recquired" makes me nervous, but it's 225 bucks and Yahoo's got their back, so why not take a chance?
If you are patient and a little crafty you can give the glass an antique mirror finish. Martha Stewart has the instructions here -- http://tinyurl.com/2m3ybw
I'm scared of anyone who publishes that many misspelled words!
You're right. It would look so much better if it just had stuff on it.
Can I invite you to visit my webshop. It's just as wonky...I promise.

I have a budget friendly style blog at thecheapdiva.com, where I feature articles about home decor, fashion, beauty, etc. I also select a few blogs and web sites every week that I think are the best of the best. I just wanted you to know that Feb. 29 you were mentioned on my blog. It is a challenge to find blogs that offer both entertainment and useful advice. Keep up the great work!
